of Newcastle Emlyn A community Event entitled ‘Returning to your Roots’ will be held in Newcastle Emlyn during the Palm Sunday weekend 2012 ( Friday to Sunday, March 31st to April 1st ) The intention of the community is to welcome and host people who have an association with the town through family background, cultural and sporting association or just an affinity with the Town and its neighbourhood. An opportunity to revisit the old place; see what’s changed; find out more about where family and friends lived, worked and died; an opportunity to celebrate your family background, your background. There is a full programme of events including: • a historical exhibition • various historical buildings open to the public – e.g. the Old Grammar School and its association with education and the Welsh Revival • a Welsh Gymanfa Ganu • Talwrn y Beirdd • a special Welsh night in Gwesty’r Emlyn Hotel • various dance groups performing • on Sunday morning a parade through town, led by a donkey, will depict Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The children will be carrying palm leaves and flowers. All denominations and organizations are welcome to participate. Newcastle Emlyn is a beautiful, bustling market town and tourists are always welcomed. This Palm Sunday weekend will be special. Revisit the Town, bring your family and friends, and reaffirm your connection with our town. It could be that you wish to do your own thing – a reunion of friends or another specific event. Why not? – please let us know and maybe we can help, we’ll certainly try!
