Special offer for Carmarthen Town fans

Carmarthen Town AFC will wrap up their season next Saturday (April 24) with a special offer for fans.
The Welsh Premier League season ends with a home match against Cefn Druids (kick-off 2.30pm).
As a special thank you to fans, they are inviting people to come along and pay whatever they feel like as an entrance fee.
Normal entrance fees are £6 for adults; £4 concessions and £1 for accompanied children under 11.
Club chairman Jeff Thomas said: “This is a gesture to the whole of Carmarthen and the surrounding areas.
“We want to pack the ground and we are giving something back to the community by letting people come and watch us for the price they decide.
“Whether they wish to pay £1 or £10 on the final Saturday, we just want them to come along and get behind the team.”
Manager Deryn Brace said: “With a place in the “Super 12” for next season still up for grabs, the game is vital and the players will get a huge lift with a large crowd getting behind them.”
The match will also be an opportunity to welcome back the supporters who will have completed a sponsored cycle ride from Cefn Mawr, Wrexham, to Carmarthen.
The cycle ride starts on April 22 and finishes at Richmond Park before the 2.30pm kick-off.
The cycle ride is to raise money for the club’s EMC sponsored Community Programme and two local charities, the Carmarthen and District Hearing Impaired Group and The Megan and Trevor Griffiths (Bronwydd) Trust.

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

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. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

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.
