It also reminded me that I needed to tell you about Llandudno's Victorian Extravaganza a weekend of celebration in the town which always falls on the first weekend in May.

Pipes and Drums

At the beginning of this month we were delighted to once again welcome J H Coaches of Bolton back to the St Kilda Hotel. John Hood, organiser, and Ron Andrew, courier brought a lovely group to stay with us; and spring was well and truly underway, with dry days and glorious sunshine all round.

During their stay we got talking to the two lovely gents and found out some rather interesting things. Close friends for nearly 30 years, they originally met in the Royal Artillery Association. John and Ron's late wife convinced him to join the Bolton Scottish Pipes and Drums. It's Lucky he let himself be persuaded, as he and John were able to enjoy 15 years together in the band. While Ron was a Drum Major, John was a Tenor and Bass Drummer. At the age of 74, Ron decided to retire; John however, continues to play for the Bolton Caledonian Pipe Band to this day.

The picture below shows Ron, in full uniform, meeting the Mayor of Tameside, Brenda Warrington:

Today, Ron and John spend much of their time working for J H Coaches, work that takes them up and down the country. Ron also finds time to do much valuable charity work: he tends to the upkeep of War Graves and lays wreaths and crosses for Remembrance Day. He also works for SSAFA - a wonderful charity that provides support and assistance to servicemen, veterans, and their families. He has recently raised £8,000 - making him the Number One SSAFA fund raiser in his region. Congratulations Ron!

J H Coaches have already booked again for December this year and February 2015 and we are very much looking forward to seeing them again. Our best wishes to John and Ron and all their passengers.
