LL53 6EG XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX www.tydoctor.wales.nhs.uk 10 April 2017 Dr Dai Lloyd Mr Rhun Ap Iorwerth National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay CARDIFF CF99 1NA Annwyl Dai a Rhun, Thank you for coming up to Caernarfon to meet with us last week. I hope you found it informative and useful for your ongoing enquiry. My name is Arfon Williams and I have been a General Practitioner in Nefyn for the past 22 years. Unfortunately, I am the sole partner in the practice, caring for about 4300 patients, extending along the north tip of the Llyn Peninsula from Aberdaron to Clynnog Fawr. We have found it very difficult to recruit and we have had to change our whole work model in order to continue to provide a service to our patients in a safe way. The last two years have been incredibly difficult, and without the support of my excellent staff, it would have been virtually impossible for us to carry on. We have made some significant changes to the way we provide medical care, in that we have changed our skill mix, capacity, working day etc. I enclose a letter that I sent to the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to explain to them the methods we have introduced in order that they might be able to disseminate that information to help others in a similar predicament. To the best of my knowledge, I do not think that this information has been shared (which is disappointing).

  • Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3
    Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3 May - Departure Over 20 Pilgrims and supporters have set off from Basingwerk Abbey this morning after a few words of prayer led by Chris. We stop at Pantasaph Priory for lunch, then continue via the Roman Pharos in Coed y Garreg and the magnificent Celtic cross at Maen Achwyfan, to Llanasa, where we take a rest in the memorial garden by the church before continuing to Trelawnyd, which we reach about 5:30. A long first day, highlights including orange-tip butterflies in the woods above St Winefride's Well, the first early purple orchid, gorse now in flower everywhere and an imminent explosion of May blossom. These two scents will now accompany us for the next 11 days as we make our way steadily westwards. We now have our Pilgrim Passports, and Jenny nobly carries the new stamps in her rucksack. These will, in due course, be left in churches and communities, shops, pubs, cafés for all to record their progress along the Way. It's an early (8:30) start from Trelawnyd tomorrow, due to the need to be in St Asaph Cathedral by 3:30 for the service marking the culmination of the Diocesan Year of Pilgrimage. Sunday 4 May - Howard's Tree It's an earlier start this morning after the now customary transport shuffle. We leave Trelawnyd at 8:30 and make better progress than yesterday, soon reaching the top of Rhuallt Hill. There are some really eccentric garden ornaments around Rhuallt - one chap has a Spitfire and a dinosaur (which has acquired a baby since last year), while his neighbour has (among others) John Wayne on horseback, Barack Obama on a park bench, three Jedi Warriors and King Kong.

Greaves. The family were well-known members of the Caernarfonshire gentry. John Whitehead Greaves, J.E. Greaves1 father was involved in the exploitation of slate mines and quarries around Ffestiniog through his company, J.W. Greaves and Son, Porthmadog, in which he was followed by his son. John Greaves was a considerable landowner in his own right, with a large estate at Glangwna as well as property at Bron Eifion, Criccieth. From 1910 he also had considerable investments in Canadian developments. Before succeeding to the Lieutenancy on the death of the previous incumbent, the first Lord Penrhyn, in 1886, John Greaves had served as High Sheriff in both Merioneth and Caernarfonshire, and as Deputy Lieutenant for Merioneth. As Lord-Lieutenant of Caernarfonshire it was his duty to act for the Crown in the County, corresponding frequently with Buckingham Palace and representing the Crown on ceremonial occasions. His position also called for him to chair the Advisory Committee, which was responsible for the nomination and recommendation of Justices of the Peace.

  • The North Wales Pilgrim's Way. Spiritual Re
    27 The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way. Spiritual re- vival in a marginal landscape. DANIELS Andrew Abstract The 21st century has seen a marked resurgence in the popularity of pilgrim- age routes across Europe. The ‘Camino’ to Santiago de Compostela in Spain and routes in England to Walsingham in Norfolk and Canterbury in Kent are just three well-known examples where numbers of pilgrims have increased dramati- cally over the last decade. The appeal to those seeking religious as well as non- spiritual self-discovery has perhaps grown as the modern world has become ever more complicated for some. The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way is another ancient route that has once again seen a marked increase in participants during recent years. Various bodies have attempted to appropriate this spiritual landscape in or- der to attract modern pilgrims. Those undertaking the journey continue to leave their own imprints on this marginal place. Year by year they add further layers of meaning to those that have already been laid down over many centuries of pil- grimage. This short paper is the second in a series of research notes looking specifically at overlapping spiritual and tourist connections in what might be termed ‘periph- eral landscapes’ in remote coastal areas of Britain. In particular I will focus on how sites connected with early Celtic Christianity in Britain have been used over time by varying groups with different agendas. In the first paper in this series, I explored how the cult of St. Cuthbert continues to draw visitors to Lindisfarne or Holy Island in the North East of England.
