The funeral of P O Davies will be held at 10:40 am on Tuesday 26 November 2013 at Llwydcoed Crematorium, Aberdare, CF44 0DJ. At Phil’s request there will be no flowers or hymns, so it will be a short committal service.

Dai Evans

We have received a sad message from Lynn Phillips at Amman Valley Camera Club.

With great sadness I wish to inform you that Dai Evans passed away yesterday after a short illness. He was a founder member of the Amman Valley Camera Club when it was formed in 1967 and was our Chairman for the last 30 years.

Dai was well known throughout the WPF for his unique style of photography for which he was awarded Associate-ships of both the Royal Photographic Society and the Welsh Photographic Federation.

He will be sorely missed by all at the Amman Valley Camera Club.

Dai is survived by his children Huw and Susan and their families.

Dai’s funeral will be held at Swansea Crematorium on Thursday 7 November at 12:30.
