Dear Pat Chapman,
A gentleman who used to be a headmaster of my children many years ago
used to live in Tregarth near Bethesda where the Penrhyn MVC originated. In
fact he was in his early days the accompanist to the Choir. I will endeavur
to contact him and make enquiries and if I am able to obtain information I
will get back to you.

Subject: [GWYNEDD] Rainy Days Male Voice Choir
Does anyone on the list know anything about Male voice choirs at
Penrhyn
Quarry in the early 20th century,
I have been sent a photo of a group of men in a slate quarry. The board in
the front of the group says it is the Rainy Days Male Voice Choir, ??
Silver
Cup. There could be a 1910 date on the bottom. The writing is rather
faint.
I presume they are at the Penrhyn Slate Quarries.
I would be grateful for any information.
