The latest 'View from Richmond Park' Carmarthen AFC column


The latest 'View from Richmond Park' Carmarthen Town AFC column from the Carmarthen Journal -
Carmarthen Town AFC has launched a special website which gives shoppers the chance to snatch up some Christmas bargains and, in turn, help the club make money.
The site is at - www.spendandraise.com/carmarthentownafc
Executive committee member Paul Ashley-Jones said: “Christmas is getting closer by the day. If you shop on the internet, then please remember our new fundraising website www.spendandraise.com/carmarthentownafc
“Please visit the site as you can get yourself some very good deals while raising money for the Club. There are a large number of companies participating including the following - Amazon, Spabreaks.com, HMV, Marks and Spencer, Play.com, Sky, WH Smiths and Gardening Direct.
“Any purchases made will earn the club a commission that will be received by our Club Shop. You pay exactly the same price as on the retailers main sites as the commission earned by us comes out of the retailers’ profit margin - it is their marketing spend. However, please remember you must make any purchases via our site otherwise we won’t get the commission.
“It’s not just for buying goods either. From getting your lottery ticket; insuring your pet; booking a cruise or switching your utility supplier; it can all be done through our site. Please take a look as we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. If you are, please tell your family and friends.”

He said: “I am proposing a new management structure. I want the supporters and people of the town to come forward and be part of a vision for the future.

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.
