Writing Prize Year 6 Science Transition Activity Congratulations to Esme Crowe from year 7 for winning the second prize in the prose competition for year 7 pupils at the Urdd National Eisteddfod, held in Pembrokeshire at the end of May. Year 6 pupils from the primary schools in our catchment area visited the school Science Department recently to enjoy a morning of science activities. The department had arranged ‘CSI Bethesda’ activities! Someone had ‘borrowed’ the projector from the laboratory and that person had left evidence at the scene of the crime. The pupils’ role was to collect evidence, look at it and use it to try to decide which one of the three was the culprit. The pupils looked at samples of chemicals on the soles of their shoes, fingerprints and footprints and the ink used on the note that had been left by the criminal. After returning to their schools, the pupils wrote a newspaper article on their findings and we are looking forward to reading them when the pupils arrive here in September. Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen Sports Day The school sports day was held this year on the school playing field on 5 June. We had a good day of competitions in the fine weather. Tryfan was the victorious house this year. The victorious pupils went on to compete in the Arfon competition later on. Congratulations to the enthusiastic group from year 10 who decided to raise money on the day. They collected a total of £300 by selling delicacies, cold drinks, crisps, little home-made cakes and small pots of ice cream from Môn ar Lwy – Taste of Anglesey. A cheque for £150 will be presented to the Alaw Ward by Eleanor Jones and the other £150 will go to the 'Race for Life' campaign, in which Lynne Jones, the Head of the English Department, and Sarah Freeman, a year 9 pupil, both ran.

  • Government Intervention in the Welsh Economy: 1974 to 1997. by Leon
    Government Intervention in the Welsh Economy: 1974 to 1997. By Leon Gooberman Submitted in accordance with the requirements for a PhD. Cardiff University i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Scott Newton of the School of History, Archaeology and Religion, and Professor Derek Matthews of Cardiff Business School for their advice and support. Also, thanks are due to my interviewees, who generously gave of their time, knowledge and experience. Most importantly, thanks to Mari. This thesis would never have been completed without her constant support and encouragement. ii Summary This thesis provides a description and analysis of government intervention in the Welsh economy between 1974 and 1997. During this period, Wales underwent rapid and far-reaching economic upheaval on such a massive scale that few avoided its impact. The scale of these changes was dramatic, as was the intensity of attempts to deal with their consequences. Wales acted as a laboratory for the development of approaches to government intervention in the economy. This thesis defines government intervention in the Welsh economy, before identifying activity, expenditure and (where possible) outputs across categories including land reclamation, factory construction, attraction of foreign direct investment, urban renewal, business support and the provision of grants and subsidies. It also places such interventions in their political and economic contexts, highlighting the dynamics that evolved between policies developed in Cardiff and London. By doing this, it asks and answers three questions relating to the changing dynamics of government intervention; namely, what was done, why was it done and was it effective? The thesis draws on primary sources including interviews with politicians and those formerly holding senior positions within governmental organisations, records held by the National Archives, personal and organisational archives held by the National Library of Wales, records held by other archives, newspapers and government publications.

  • Summing up in the Senedd (Assembly) 2) News from the Imperial Capital (Westminster) 3) from the European Parliament
    This is the seventh edition of the Brexit Briefing, we hope you enjoy. Much more information about all of these issues can be found on the Brexit Section of our website. There are three parts to the Briefing: 1) Summing up in the Senedd (Assembly) 2) News from the Imperial Capital (Westminster) 3) From the European Parliament If you have any feedback let us know by emailing [email protected]. Summing up in the Senedd By our Assembly Brexit Spokesman Steffan Lewis AM and the Assembly Team This week the leader of Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood, and First Minister Carwyn Jones launched a joint White Paper setting out Wales’ position for the negotiations for withdrawing from the EU. The White Paper emphasised the importance of continuing participation in the single market when we leave the EU in order to protect the Welsh economy from the damage and uncertainty that losing the ability to freely trade with our closest neighbours would cause. Leanne Wood set out her reasons for joining with the Welsh Government to write the paper here. She wrote, ‘Plaid Cymru has been given an opportunity to influence and shape the Welsh position on Brexit. Had we not taken this opportunity, our nation's voice would have been weakened.’ The White Paper marks a shift in Welsh Government policy. In September, in what was described as ‘the most shocking event since devolution’ by Adam Price AM, Welsh Labour joined with the Tories and UKIP to vote against continuing single market participation. The White Paper was widely welcomed, including by the First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, who called it a ‘serious contribution to the Brexit debate’.

  • Letter from Llywydd to Welsh Mps: Amendments
    Paul Flynn MP Hywel Williams MP Mark Williams MP cc Rt Hon Alun Cairns MP, Secretary of State for Wales Carwyn Jones AM, Welsh Labour Andrew R T Davies AM, Welsh Conservatives Neil Hamilton AM, UKIP Leanne Wood AM, Plaid Cymru Huw Irranca-Davies AM, Chair, Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee 9 September 2016 Dear Member of Parliament In advance of Monday’s Report stage debate on the Wales Bill in the Commons, I am aware of the amendments now tabled by the Secretary of State for Wales. Some of these address points raised in the amendments I published in July ahead of Commons committee scrutiny. I am pleased that the UK Government has recognised the value of these suggestions and I would like to draw your attention to those particular amendments and I hope they will be agreed on Monday. I am of course disappointed that the UK Government did not consider more of the wider principles in other amendments I suggested, in particular in respect of the legislative consent process and the restoration of the Assembly’s current ability to legislate in an “ancillary” way on exceptions from competence (the equivalent to reservations under the proposed settlement). The following are the welcome amendments which address issues I have previously raised: Croesewir gohebiaeth yn Gymraeg neu Saesneg / We welcome correspondence in Welsh or English Clause Purpose Tabled Amendment Number Clause 1: These amendments move the section on SoSW 3,4,5,6,7 Permanence permanence of NAW and Welsh Government and 8 of NAW/WG to the beginning of GOWA 2006.
