My spouse Debbie is from the Isle of Wight and we have been married for over thirty years. Debbie is a faithful member of the ‘Mothers Union’ and will be attending the General Conference in Portsmouth this year. Our two sons live and work in Bristol and our daughter lives with us and has recently been working with people with special needs. I was born in Llanddewi Brefi and began my ministry at the age of 23. I spent part of my ministry in the diocese of Bangor where I was ordained, but for the past seventeen years have ministered in this diocese, in the parish of Newcastle Emlyn. As a couple we enjoy the countryside and look forward to living near the Botanic Gardens. In my experience, walking amidst the natural melodies of the countryside and its sweet aromas is a great help to unwind and to reflective meditation; as is listening to classical music. I derive special inspiration from listening to the religious and classical music of Arvo Pärt. Last year I had the privilege of being ‘Director of Ordinands’ for the diocese. Undertaking this role has opened up a new perspective for me on ministry within the diocese and it is inspiring to be involved in supporting and encouraging new candidates for ministry.

    1 DENBIGHSHIRE RECORD OFFICE Ref. DD-LE Records of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod 1894-2011 Extent 63 Boxes Description The company records of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, a musical festival for international choirs and dance groups held since 1947, for a week annually in July, in Llangollen, North Wales. The collection includes the records of the Friends of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, which was set up to support the festival, and the papers of W. S. Gwynn Williams, who was instrumental in founding the festival and was the Hon. Music Director of the Eisteddfod, 1947-1977. It also includes records about the festival collected externally, most by local people whose support of the Eisteddfod - as committee members, volunteers or customers - has been important to its survival. The competitors are well represented in the collection, predominantly in the promotional series in photographs, audio and visual recordings, press cuttings and publicity material. Creator: LRW Date: 24/06/2009 2 DENBIGHSHIRE RECORD OFFICE Administrative History The first Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, held in 1947, was the concept of Harold Tudor of Coedpoeth, then a member of the British Council; the concept being the creation of a festival 'to promote education, international peace and goodwill through the medium of the fine arts and in particular the art of music'.(1) After the idea for such a festival was turned down by the Welsh National Eisteddfod, Harold Tudor approached W. S. Gwynn Williams, a noted Welsh composer and music publisher, to suggest an independent festival based in Llangollen. With the help of George Northing, a teacher from Dinas Brân County School and Chairman of the local council, the idea gained the support of town residents and in 1946, organising of the festival began.

  • Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee Inquiry Into Community Energy in Wales – Community Energy Wales Response
    Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee Inquiry into community energy in Wales – Community Energy Wales response Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee Inquiry into community energy in Wales – Community Energy Wales response Community Energy Wales are delighted to support and provide our thoughts on how we can support the Welsh Government’s ambitious targets for Renewable Energy and in particular the target of 1 Gigawatt of Locally Owned Energy. Please find below our response to the questions put to us by the committee. 1 Recent progress of Community Energy in Wales Community Energy in Wales has seen significant growth over the last few years. In 2013 there was only 0.7 mW capacity of Community owned energy in Wales. The latest report commissioned by Welsh Government shows that this has increased to 11 mW with around 20 mW still in development. Over £6m million has been raised to support these projects through Community Share offers over the last 3 years demonstrating the growing interest in supporting and investing in Community Energy. However, it is also a very challenging environment with many schemes that have been built benefiting from pre-registration for Feed in Tariffs (FITs) before the changes made in late 2015, when the UK Government announced that there would be an early withdrawal of, and significant changes made to, many of the support incentives and mechanisms within the Levy Control Framework (LCF) that had helped the sector to grow in previous years.1 This means that many of the schemes in development are struggling to find a route to market and our role in partnership with others such as the Welsh Government funded Local Energy service is to support innovation, efficiency savings and work with the Welsh Government to create opportunities creating a more positive environment for Community Owned energy in Wales.
