"We thank Peter for volunteering for this important role within the club and that he will prove to be a very valuable asset for Carmarthen Town Football Club.
"I will be on hand to continue to offer support and guidance but it will be great to Peter on board as the club continues to make progress both on and off the field of play."
Retiring club chairman Jeff Thomas said: "Gareth Jones has been one of our club keystones for many years now and his work as club secretary has been outstanding over the years. He deserves the thanks of everyone at the club."
Club chairman designate Chris Edwards said: "Building a team off the field, as well as on, is hugely important to us at Carmarthen Town. Gareth Jones has performed outstanding work and will continue to play a big role, but the arrival of Peter Price further strengthens our 'back-room' team and I have no doubt he will be a major asset for Carmarthen Town."

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
