The team at Bwlch Rangers Youth Centre has put together a programme of activities from Monday February 15- Friday February 20. Young people can get involved in dance workshops, mountain biking, motor biking, art workshops and boxing fitness classes.
Huw Thomas, Senior Youth Worker for the Llanelli area said:
“The activities on offer will help encourage young people to participate in worth while projects and to steer them away from anti social behaviour that can occur due to boredom.

Young people can also get involved in youth clubs, Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards and various other projects at Bwlch Rangers Youth Centre all of which operate throughout the year.

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee.

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive.
