Many thanks to Mike Tedd for providing material on the early days of Porthcawl Congress. Our website already contained some information on the more recent years, but there is a huge gap between 1945 and 2008!! If anyone has any pictures/posters/programmes etc for the intervening years which we could include, then I would be delighted if they could email me.
