Sadly
Chris Lloyd passed away this morning, Tuesday 29th April, after a long
illness bravely bourne.
Chris
came to the cricket club with her husband John many years ago and became
a stalwart in many ways. Chris and John's two sons Robert and Richard
were fine cricketers through the youth and up to senior level until they
departed to pastures new in Canada and North Wales. But Chris
contributed to the club not only through her menfolk but also by being a
central figure in the tea ladies set up. Chris organised the rota of the
lady volunteers and was famous for her cream slices and scones with
cream and jam. The Llantwit teas became famous as the best around and
even surpassed those of Werrington in Cornwall (known to be excellent)
Affectionately
nicknamed Sybil (probably by Martin Flye) of Fawlty Towers fame, Chris
left us with a problem when she and John temporarily left to live in
North Wales and the tea rota collapsed only to be revived when they
returned after several years.
Chris
will be greatly missed by all in the cricket club.
Chris's
funeral has now been fixed on Friday 9th May at Glyntaf Crematorium at
12 noon. Family flowers only. Donations may be made to Friends of Y
Bwythyn, Pontypridd and District Hospital, The Common, Pontypridd CF37
