All Aboard for Eisteddfod in Llangollen Our Social Secretary Christne Bird organised a day trip to Eisteddfod in Llangolllen in July and even managed to arrange glorious weather as well. It was an enjoyable day with plenty of entertainment, food and stalls to keep us occupied. Chairman’s Report Hello to everyone and hope you have all enjoyed the break and the good weather and you are now ready to partcipate in all your group actvites. To all our new members, our U3A is a self help charitable organisaton whose members have fun contnuing to learn and socialise, meet others with similar interests and develop a purpose to their retrement. The U3A is inclusive whatever your circumstances or abilites. So, have the tme of your life with the U3A. Perhaps a new slogan for us? Our grateful thanks go to Christne Bird for organising a great day at the Llangollen Eisteddfod in July and the fab weather too. I have had lots of correspondence about diferent things going on in our area, so do check out the community page on our web site. I was recently told by a non U3A member that our web site is very impressive, for this our thanks go to Myra Poyser and her daughter Annete. Our grateful thanks also go to a retring group leader, Peter Rogers who has taken the Pastel Art group for several years and also served on the commitee in its early days. Ros Bissell will now be in sole charge of this group although Peter hopes to join it with his easel and paints to do a bit of paintng for himself. We contnue to try and start new groups, especially as some of the old ones are now full. If there is anyone of our 296 members who can share their expertse, do get in touch with our Group Liaison ofcers, Pat Cook or Carol Brown, who can advise and help on startng one. I hope many of you will join us at our general meetng (26th) as we are lucky to have a very eminent speaker in the world of veterinary practce. Peter Harlech Jones has served on many medicine commitees all over Europe and America including the Animal Health Centre. He has also been High Sherif of Gwynedd. Enjoy the Autumn, taking in all the changing colours of nature. The Blackberries hang heavy on many a weary fence, And an afernoon of picking brings a tasty recompense! If your pickings been successful, there’s always blackberry jam; There are many folks a fan of that, as undoubtedly I am! Yet some would say the blackberry is just a noxious weed- But regardless what we call it, it provides a decent feed! Philip R. Rush Pastels Plus Peter’s Pastels Plus has now become minus, as at age eighty-nine Peter has decided to take a back seat - he will stll be popping in to see us but will no longer be running the group. This task has fallen to me (the Plus bit!) and I will contnue to teach the beginners group and help the pastel group as much as I am able. The beginners group is full and I hope the Pastel people will contnue to come, but if you fancy coming and doing your own thing art-wise then there is room in Pentrefelin village hall for one or two more..... I'm sure everyone who has been atending Peter's sessions would like to join me in thanking him for his generosity in passing on his extensive understanding and knowledge of pastels; I know many who have learned the use of pastels with Peter’s guidance and inspiraton and who have atained great ability working in the medium.

    GARW VALLEY COMMUNITY SPORTS HUBS – FEASIBILITY STUDY A REPORT BY JANUARY 2018 CONTENTS Page Section 1 – Introduction and Background 1 Section 2 – Need Analysis 3 Section 3 – Community Hub Options and Financial 12 Projections Section 4 – Conclusions and Way Forward 27 APPENDICES Appendix A – Market Segmentation Appendix B – Facility Audit Appendix C – Facility Analysis Appendix D – Management Options Appendix E – Financial Projections Appendix F – Stakeholder Workshop Attendees Appendix G – Project Plan SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Introduction 1.1 Bridgend County Borough Council (the Council) as lead body for Reach (the Rural Development Programme for Bridgend) is currently seeking to explore the potential for the development of one or more sports based community sports hubs in the Garw Valley. 1.2 As a result RPT Consulting has been appointed to develop a feasibility study for community sports hubs based in the Garw Valley, which will seek to address the needs of the local population and key stakeholders. Background 1.3 Currently in the Garw Valley as with all other areas in Bridgend, sports and community groups are considering the transfer of sports and community venues and assets from the Council, through the Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process. 1.4 Some of the assets within the Garw Valley are in a poor state of repair and well below an acceptable standard. The cost of repairing and maintaining these assets is beyond the reach of many of the sport and community groups and therefore a potential solution is being sought to ensure that sporting and community activities are not lost. 1.5 To support the CAT process, Reach has already produced a ‘Rural Community Asset Transfer Toolkit’ which provides groups with a step by step guide to asset transfer and also commissioned a report ‘Review of Sustainable Community Venues and Assets in Bridgend County Borough’, which provides a detailed understanding of the issues faced by groups who both currently are or are considering managing/owning/leasing community facilities.

  • Guidance for Tennis Venues, Coaches & Players in Wales
    Guidance for Tennis Venues, Coaches & Players in Wales COVID-19: RETURN TO PLAY: PLAY SAFE GUIDELINES UPDATED 21 JUNE 2021 VERSION 10 INTRODUCTION We know how important it is for people to be active, and the particular role tennis can have in the physical and mental wellbeing of those that play it. By its very nature, tennis is an activity whereby close person to person contact can be avoided. Based on the Welsh Government guidance and adjustment of lockdown restrictions, Tennis Wales & the LTA have developed a set of practical guidelines to follow so that tennis can be played in Wales during the Covid-19 pandemic, where the local environment allows. These guidelines apply to both Tennis and Padel, and outline adaptations so that tennis activity can be enjoyed in a way that is in line with Welsh Government advice and helps to prevent the spread of COVID-19. They include measures to limit hand to shared surface contact and minimise unnecessary interactions with others. We have indicated the key additions and updates to these guidelines for Version 10 of this document with (NEW) and (UPDATED) on the following pages. IMPORTANT: This ‘Return to Play’ document is national (Wales) guidance. You should read this guidance in tandem with the updated Welsh Government guidance on a ‘Phased Return to Sport’ here VENUES Tennis venues across the country are all different and operate in different local contexts. Making an assessment of whether a safe exercise environment can be provided depends on a range of factors, which apply differently at each venue. It is the responsibility of each tennis provider, coach and facility to make that assessment based on their local environment.
