Welcome

Meetings usually held in Village Hall, Capel Bangor on 2nd Thursday the month at 2.00pm  

Penllwyn W I was formed in 1919 its main concern has always been the community.  These ideals still endure with a small group of members visiting the local primary school to listen to the children reading.  In 2014 Penllwyn was amalgamated with Mynach & District W I and we welcome several of their members to our institute.  We now cover a large area one previously served by Ponterwyd founded in 1938 but lapsed and Goginan founded in 1957 but lapsed in 1971.  Mynach & District was founded in 1976.

We have a membership of  20 full members and 5 dual members.  At the Ceredigion Annual Council meeting  in November 2023 Penllwyn  WI was awarded the Marie Vaughan Jones Plaque  for the greatest percentage increase in membership in Ceredigion.  A particular honour for Penllwyn as Marie Vaughan Jones was a valued member of Penllwyn
