Latest 'View from Richmond Park' column
The latest 'View from Richmond Park' column. This was destined for this week's issue of the Carmarthen Journal, but didn't make it into print because of a technical problem.
Carmarthen Town AFC’s new Community Centre at Richmond Park was the venue for a very successful Show Racism The Red Card day.
Campaign worker Jason Webber organised the day together with Education Coordinator Simon Richards and former Football League player Christian Roberts.
They were joined by pupils from Ysgol Ponthenri and Ysgol Brynconin for a stimulating and thought-provoking day.
Following a morning session of presentations and activities, the afternoon session allowed pupils to view the SRTRC video.
In a final session, Town goalkeeper Shane Earp and goalkeeping coach Peter Fearn joined Christian Roberts for a session of questions and answers where the pupils showed their understanding of the issues surrounding racism with some very interesting and perceptive questions.

The EMC Services sponsored Carmarthen Town AFC Community Programme had a boost for its funds recently when the first fund-raising event of 2011 was held at the Richmond Park Community Centre.
A charity Horse Racing Evening, sponsored by Colin’s Carpets, saw the programme boosted by more than a £1,000.
Other businesses in Carmarthen also sponsored individual races. These included Gordon’s Garage, South West Wales Electro Diesel and John Francis Financial Services. S4C’s Rondo Media also sponsored one of the races, as did Mark and Michelle, the club stewards, Roger Hunt, Alun Williams and Nigel Williams, who are all current or former Executive Members of Carmarthen Town AFC.
Many thanks also to all the individuals who sponsored individual horses.
The next event will be a sponsored walk from Llansteffan to Richmond Park in the spring.
The Community Programme’s main charity for this year is Ty Cymorth, the hospice in Carmarthen.

Tote draw – February 8, winning numbers 47 and 50. The prize was £200, but there was no winner. February 15, winning numbers 35 and 48. The prize was £300, but there was no winner, meaning the prize for the next draw increases to £400.
