A Warriors side rather depleted the day after a hard match and heavy night, still played a full part in this entertaining game that helped Llanishen end their time at USK road before moving on to a purpose built 3G pitch next season. With 6 last minute withdrawals the Warriors had to reshuffle. Gwilym moving to scrum half at such moments has become standard but also moving out of the pack were Nathan Lawson at 13 and Jordan Jones at 14. Llanishen fielded a combined XV of 1sts and 2nds and set abut enjoying themselves. Cross kicks and ambitious passes were the order of the day but stout defence and some lapses frustrated them for most of the game. The Warriors dominated at times and the pack worked hard in rumbling forwards with Jenkins, Mark Lewis, Dai Haines and Richard Evans all going strong and man of the match Tomos Hall hitting ruck after ruck. Llanishen never looked like losing and crossed for 5 fine tries as they showed off their full range of skills. The Warriors got on the board in the 1st half when the elusive Andrew Davies wriggled through. The 2nd half was closer with Ben Winstanley turning through a pile of bodies and right at the death Davies followed up a scrum half break to bag his 2nd try.

  • Conservation Management Plan
    Conservation Management Plan Llanelly House Revised February 2009 Prepared for Carmarthenshire Heritage Regeneration Trust By William Wilkins Associates Acknowledgements This Conservation Management Plan has been developed over the course of many years and has been edited in this form in February 2009. Contributions are acknowledged in the text but they come particularly from Professor Warwick Rodwell, consultant archeologist, and conservation architect Craig Hamilton Architects. 2 Summary This document is a Conservation Management Plan for Llanelly House, which is an outstanding historic building in the heart of the town of Llanelli. The building is Grade I listed, and is considered to be one of the most important early Georgian town house in Wales. It is listed by CADW as the most outstanding domestic building of its type to survive in South Wales and is described as ‘an extraordinary house’ in Pevsner ‘Buildings of Wales’ (Thomas Lloyd and others, 2006). The house has had a chequered history and has been misused for nearly 100 years, suffering from multiple occupancy, unsympathetic commercial use, poor maintenance, inappropriate alterations, and even the threat of demolition. Once home to the Stepney family, by the mid 19th century it was in multiple use with shops on the ground floor. The extensive gardens behind the house were developed to become part of the town centre. The main elevation of the house is on Bridge Street and consists of three stories and seven bays. Two wings extend back towards what was once the garden. The eastern, or service wing, is two storeys, as is the west wing, which contains the dining room and small parlour.

  • University of Wales Consolidated Statements 2019
    University of Wales Financial Statements for the Year to 31 July 2019 UNIVERSITY OF WALES Consolidated Financial Statements 31 July 2019 University of Wales Financial Statements for the Year to 31 July 2019 The University of Wales Brought into being through the determination, enthusiasm for learning, and generosity of ordinary Welsh people, the establishment of the University of Wales by Royal Charter in 1893 was regarded as one of the most important political and social developments in the nineteenth century. The University of Wales has a long and proud history, playing an important role in the development of higher education in Wales. Through the University’s support for the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies (CAWCS), Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru (Dictionary of the Welsh Language), Gregynog Hall (bequeathed to the University in the 1960’s) and the University of Wales Press, it helped to promote and celebrate the language, heritage and culture of Wales. Over the years the University has adapted in order to be in a position to respond to the needs of students, both in Wales and further afield. In October of 2011, the governing bodies of the University of Wales, Swansea Metropolitan University and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) made a commitment to irrevocable constitutional change and merger. In October of 2017, both the University of Wales and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David approved a Deed of Union, ahead of full constitutional merger, which delivered on the original policy objective of integrating two historic universities, thus creating a new University for Wales.
