Margam Radar Station
Great Archaeological Sites in Neath Port Talbot 7. MARGAM RADAR STATION Not all archaeological sites are ancient, or even very old. Archaeology is the study of the physical remains of human activity, and that includes even things that happened very recently. The 50th anniversary of the Second World War in the 1990s saw a big upsurge of interest in finding and recording the remains of the structures that had been put in place for the defence of Britain, which were gradually becoming lost through neglect or active demolition. Comparing the official blueprints with the structures that were actually built on the ground, and linking them with the stories of the people who had known and used them, has increased our knowledge of this iconic period of our national history. Overlooking the Bristol Channel from high on the hillside above Port Talbot, alongside the Wales Coast Path inland route, stand the remains of a Chain Home Low Radar Station. The original Chain Home Radar system was developed to detect enemy aircraft, but whilst it was extremely effective at identifying aeroplanes at a distance and flying at high altitudes, it could not see them when they flew low on bombing missions. The development of Chain Home Low Radar filled in this gaps, using smaller, higher-frequency antennas which could be manoeuvred easily to pick up signals. These were initially fitted on to existing Chain Home Radar stations, but there were still gaps in reception, so separate Chain Home Low Radar stations were built to fill them in. The station at Margam is one of these, probably constructed by the army between 1941 and 1943 before the system was taken over by the RAF. -

KENNEL NAMES 32 KENNEL CLUB SGM REPORT 33 Is your dog a star? FEES 36 The Kennel Club is calling for dog lovers who are competing at Crufts in any activity or discipline to help show the world just how great dogs are. Every year, to promote Crufts and the many roles that dogs play in society, the Kennel Club press office looks for inspiring dogs and owners with interesting stories that it can communicate to the media, who are often interested in dog-related stories in the run up to Crufts and during the show itself. To give competitors at Crufts the potential opportunity to tell their dog’s special story to the wider world, the Kennel Club has set up an online form, which can be filled in by visiting www.surveymonkey.com/r/Crufts125years. Examples of stories that might be of interest are: Dogs that have changed their owners’ lives, dogs that have overcome adversity to excel in something, oldest and youngest Crufts competitors, two or more generations of the same family competing at Crufts, a family with a combined 125 years of being involved in dogs (to celebrate 125 years of the show), competitors who found love through their dog The Kennel Club press office will then look for the most suitable stories to promote to various media in the run up to the 125th anniversary show in March. -

The proposal The Council proposes to establish an ‘all through’ 3 -16, English – medium school on the existing Dyffryn (upper) School/Groes Primary site. The existing schools will continue to operate from the current buildings on the Dyffryn (upper) School, Dyffryn (lower) and Groes Primary until the new build facilities are available at the Dyffryn (upper) School/Groes Primary site in September 2018 Subject to the outcome of consultation and subsequent Member approval, Ysgol Newydd Margam will open on the 1st September 2018, with Dyffryn School and Groes Primary school closing on the 31st August 2018. -

Wales Visitor Attractions Survey, 2015 , File Type
SOCIAL RESEARCH NUMBER: 48/2016 PUBLICATION DATE: 21/07/2016 Wales Visitor Attractions Survey 2015 Following feedback from the industry, this year it was decided to undertake the Attractions Survey in two parts, the first focusing solely on visitor numbers to attractions. Attractions were identified as having taken part in previous surveys, through Visit Wales’ database or as members of WAVA, and were initially contacted by email with a request to take part in the survey. Although all attractions who could be identified were contacted, the emphasis in terms of recontacting any attractions who had not responded was on attractions who had reported the largest numbers of visitors in previous surveys. Visit Wales would like to thank all attractions who participated in the survey, and would also like to thank Hannah Quincey of WAVA, who co-ordinated responses from WAVA. In all, 154 attractions responded to the survey, of whom 149 were able and willing to supply figures for 2015. The overwhelming majority of attractions also supplied figures for 2014 also, with 146 supplying figures for both years. A number of attractions also supplied some context for the figures. Some figures, particularly for free to enter attractions such as parks, are estimates as the exact numbers are not known. Overall, the figures are generally positive, with 91 of the 146 attractions who supplied figures for both 2014 and 2015 reporting that their visitor numbers remained constant or increased.
