On July 8th, 2003, Aeronwy Thomas - daughter of
the poet Dylan Thomas, cut the ribbon to officially open the Dylan
Thomas Trail in New Quay. The ceremony occurred at Coronation Park
opposite the Penwig Hotel on the sea front at Newquay at 3 p.m.
She was introduced by Stan Thomas, Chairman of
Ceredigion County Council before giving a short speech in which she
said: "This trail celebrates places where my Father drank, stayed
and lived; places he visited and even places he thought about."
Members of the Dylan Thomas Society and invited
guests afterwards attended a reception at the Black Lion Hotel - one
of Dylan Thomas' favourite watering holes, where Ms Thomas read
extracts from the poem 'Quite Early One Morning'. |
