North Wales Jamaica Society Open Meeting – Sat 5th August 2023
Today we caught up on activities and sharing information about our Jamaican Emancipation Day (1st August) which generated discussion - thanks to Vivian Crawford for providing a wealth of additional information.
And thanks to Jamaica Wales Alliance Patron, Dr Lola Ramocan, for helping us to recognise Jamaican Independence Day (6th August) - together they make up the Emancipendance Celebrations going on in Jamaica at present!
Also we did an update on the Pennants Project, as well as plans to explore twinning Bangor with May Pen and heard from ‘Justice for Windrush Generations - and others affected across the Commonwealth nations' - and also had a 'what is the name of this fruit competition - thanks to Vivian and Lesley - and Sibani for my mango!
