| Subject | Canadian Flag |
| Message: | It was an unexpected pleasure to see the Canadian flag on July 1st for Canada Day on your Church Tower. On behalf of Cor Merched Dewi (who are based in Toronto) I thank you, your tower master and your whole parish for making visitors to your lovely town feel very welcome.
We try to have the Welsh dragon fly at the City Hall of our hometowns in Canada (I live in Ottawa) each year on March 1st.
We are now looking forward to our concert here in the Aberporth area next week.
Cheers,
Myfanwy Davies

| Subject | Bells of Santiago |
| Message: | I feel that it would be unchristian to refuse to return the bells especially to a country that has suffered greatly
Would it be possible for a photograph of the bells to be taken with the people who do so much to keep All Saints working so successfully. Maybe this could be reproduced as a postcard greetings card or even a booklet with the story. These
could then be sold in outlets in the village with profits for the church restoration fund |

| Subject | BBC radio broadcast for Candlemas |
| Message: | My wife ad I really did enjoy the service very much. The sermon and music were just brilliant. Had never really thought much about Candlemas until I heard the service. Loved the image about waiting for someone. We hope to get back to Wales this summer and perhaps will have time to visit of a Sunday.

| Subject | A Tremendous Achievement |
| Message: | From the point of view of someone whose parents were married in Oystermouth, and was baptised by Canon Wilkinson. Who later sang in the church choir with a young Rowan Williams and can trace family connections even further back it is fascinating to scan through such interesting data. It is always nice to visit All Saints when in the area - there is always a warm Christian welcome - it is a church that has kept pace with the passage of time. |
