Calgary Welsh Society Events Calendar

A number of Social Events are organised throughout the year.
The following are an example of the most notable.

St. David’s Day Banquet and Celebration
This is the highlight of the year as it is the most important cultural event in our social calendar. It is usually held on the Saturday closest to March 1st.
The event consists of a dinner, guest speaker, ‘County Call’, entertainment (soloists, instrumentalists and choir singing by the Welsh Society Celtic Choir), and folk dancing.

Annual General Meeting
Held during the month of April, business is usually dispensed with first leaving most of the evening to a buffet supper, entertainment, and time to mingle and socialize. This has become an increasingly popular event.

Summer BBQ
This is a fun filled afternoon, of sunbathing, socializing and games. For the past few years it has been held at Lake Bonavista in SW Calgary.

Noson Lawen (Poems and Pints)
A much loved informal evening of impromptu entertainment by members and non-members. This event is held in October.

Christmas Banquet and Concert
This is a semi formal event. Again a popular and well attended event that offers a variety of entertainment in conjunction with a good traditional turkey dinner.
