Whoops . . . forgot last week's 'View'


Whoops! Forgot to upload last week's 'View from Richmond Park' Carmarthen Town AFC column -
Carmarthen Town AFC stages the first mini-football match of the season during the home match versus Neath on Friday night.
Ysgol y Dderwen will play Richmond Park School under floodlights at half-time.
The schoolchildren will be treated to refreshments at the Latham Suite in the Community Centre Clubhouse and at the start of the match will go onto the field to greet the players and form a guard of honour.
The match will be played at half time on a mini-pitch on the main Richmond Park pitch and will last for 10+ minutes. Teams will be 7 a side with 3 rolling substitutes allowed, boys and girls are eligible to play.
The match is part of a series of games staged under the banner of the EMC Electrical Services Community Programme at Carmarthen Town AFC.
If your school is interested in taking part in future matches at Richmond Park, then you can contact – Paul Ashley-Jones, Head of Community Programme, 07775 820864, or Phil Grice, Schools Liaison Officer, 01267 235073.
-------------------------------------
There are special offers for the forthcoming Carmarthen Town v Neath match.
This game was originally scheduled for Friday the 11th of November. It was then chosen as the live game on S4C and the date changed to the 12th of November. Subsequently, the FAW have announced that the Welsh Senior team will be playing a friendly international in Cardiff against Norway on that date. Therefore the game has been switched back to the original date on the Friday with a 7.30pm kick off.
In order to boost the gate on that evening, Carmarthen Town are happy to offer Swansea City season ticket holders admission to Richmond Park on a 2 for 1 ratio.
The club will also be sending free tickets to both Ysgol Bro Myrddin and Queen Elizabeth High School.
Ianto Howells, Carmarthen Town’s Local Clubs liaison officer will also be supplying Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire league clubs with free tickets. This follows on from a similar offer held during the Llanelli game back in September.
Trinity St David University students have also been welcomed to Richmond Park recently and hopefully Town will be able to attract even more students to the game versus Neath.
-------------------------------------
Tote draw – November 1 draw, winning numbers 21 and 36. The winners of the prize of £400 were ‘Elwyn BB and BA Davies’. The draw for a prize of £200 was being made on Tuesday night.

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. 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. Ammanford businessman and well-known comic entertainer Phil Evans has launched a campaign to get cash backers for Lauryn's athletics career. "Everyone in the area is hugely proud of her achievements in athletics to date," said Phil. "But we also want to see her go on and do bigger and better things.
