The annual sports always took place on Whit Monday, in Pentre field, by kind permission of the owners, Emrys Cunnah and his wife. This year – May 1958 - the sports were included as part of Dyserth and Cwm villages’ contribution to the Welsh Tourist Board’s Festival of Wales. Listed on the festival programme but not captured on film are an ‘Ankle Competition’ for ladies and a ‘Pillow fight’ for men. This year also saw the opening of Dyserth Bowling Club’s new pavilion.
