    BSW Timber Response to Consultation on the Natural Resources Body for Wales (additional consultation) Your name: Hamish Macleod Organisation (if applicable): BSW Timber Email / telephone number: [email protected] / 01228 674221 Consultation questions Question 1: Do you agree with our proposal for the duties of the body in respect of conservation and natural beauty? Yes /Mainly/Not at all Question 2: Do you agree with the proposals in respect of public access and recreation duties? Yes/ Mainly/Not at all If not how would you change it? : BSW Timber is the UK’s largest domestic sawmilling group, processing around fifteen per cent of the UK timber harvest. The group has an annual turnover in excess of £175m, directly employing over 900 people; indirect employment in timber harvesting and haulage accounts for another 2,500 jobs. The company has six mills in the UK (and one in Latvia), including one in Newbridge-on-Wye. It has been involved in sawmilling since 1848. The company is currently implementing a five-year capital investment programme, worth £52m, in modernising the mills and expanding capacity to produce more than 1.3 million m3. As such it is one of the largest buyers of timber in the UK. BSW has invested £6m in the Newbridge mill over the past five years. This has allowed for an extension of working hours and the creation of 29 full-time jobs in addition to the 140 full-time staff already employed at the mill. BSW is supportive of the Welsh Government’s efforts to streamline environmental management in Wales through the creation of a single delivery body.
  • Association Football Has Long Been the Dominant Sport in the Lower Reaches of the Sirhowy Valley

    Association Football Has Long Been the Dominant Sport in the Lower Reaches of the Sirhowy Valley

    THE HISTORY OF ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL IN YNYSDDU AND CWMFELINFACH (REVISED JULY 2012) Association football has long been the dominant sport in the lower reaches of the Sirhowy Valley. Geographically, the main catchment area is from Pontllanfraith, south-east to Wattsville in the county borough of Caerphilly. This comprises of the two larger villages of Cwmfelinfach and Ynysddu, together with the three smaller villages of Gelligroes, Wyllie and Brynawel. To fully understand the present structure of the club, it is important to go back to the turn of the 20th century, when football first started in this area, at the same time as the opening of the many collieries, and locally, the most significant of which was Nine Mile Point (initially called Coronation Colliery). Situated between Brynawel and Cwmfelinfach, owners Burnyeat & Brown sunk the first shaft in 1902. The first football club, initially called Ynysddu Albion, was founded by Mary Jane Gilchrist, the local midwife, in July 1905, later ratified by a general meeting in the Black Prince public house at Ynysddu, in October of that year. An article in the South Wales Argus, stated that five sons of Mrs Gilchrist took part in their first game. Unfortunately, fixtures and results for this initial period cannot be accounted for. A number of other local teams were also formed although the ‘Albion’ were regarded as the main club, becoming one of the founder members of the Monmouthshire Senior League in 1907 (four years before the foundation of the Monmouthshire County Football Association). The ‘senior’ team would play its fixtures in the ‘Mon Senior’ and Sirhowy leagues, whilst other teams of various names would play in the Newport & District and ‘West Mon’ leagues.
