PROGRAMME: Ceremony of the unveiling of the bronze tablet at a Dedicatory Service and opening of Menai Bridge War Memorial Club by H. R. Davies esq. D.L.

The Menai Bridge War Memorial Club was declared open on Saturday, 8th January, 1927, by Mr H. R. Davies, who had been Chairman of the Committee since memorial scheme was commenced early in 1919. A large number of people were present in front of the new club premises in Water Street, when Capt. R. R. Davies, of Bodlondeb, unveiled the bronze plate, on which, within a laurel wreath, is inscribed "War Memorial Institute, 1914 - 1918". Mr. H. Senogles sounded "The Last Post" and "Reveille", and then Mr. H. R. Davies opened the doors. Within the club an impressive service was conducted by the Rev. H. Evans and Rev. G. Thomas, the hymns being accompanied by the local orchestra, conducted by Mr. G. W. Senogles. Mr H. R. Davies gave a brief summary of the work of the committee, and in declaring the club open hoped that the young men would make full use of it and strive to make it a success, socially and financially. The Treasurer, Mr. J. Jones, J.P., in his financial statement, showed that it is hoped to have a substantial balance in hand, which is needed to further equip the club premises. Votes of thanks to Mr. H. R. Davies and Capt. R. R. Davies were moved by Messrs. T. O Jones and D. H. Pritchard, and supported by the secretary, Mr. R. D. Parry, Council School. The contractor was Mr. Griffith Roberts, Glanydon, and the architects, Messrs. Joe. Owen & Sons and E. Lloyd Owen.
