  • Cardiff and South Wales Monday 08 - Friday 12 May 2017
    Cardiff Castle Cardiff and South Wales Monday 08 - Friday 12 May 2017 MONDAY 08 MAY 2017 We will meet at Cardiff railway station at 13.00 (Royal Academy representatives will wait for the train arriving from London Paddington at 12.52). Our local coach will be waiting for us and after loading our luggage we will travel a short distance to Le Bistrot Pierre where lunch will be taken. This afternoon will begin with a visit to Llandaff Cathedral for an art and architecture guided tour focusing on the Cathedral’s intriguing mix of Norman, Early Gothic and modern architecture, and the wonderful Pre-Raphaelite art, Victorian and modern windows, with artist’s such as Rosetti, Burne Jones, Piper and Madox Brown represented. Located in the ancient “City of Llandaff”, now a suburb or Cardiff, the present cathedral dates from 1107 when Bishop Urban, the first Bishop appointed by the Normans, instigated the building of a much larger church, there already being an edifice on the site. The Cathedral was extended and widened and a new West front built in around 1220; the front is judged by many to be one of the two or three most notable mediaeval works of art and architecture in Wales. For over 200 years following the reign of King Henry VIII the building fell into a state of near-ruin, however, in the early 19th century, growing prosperity in the Diocese made possible a fresh restoration undertaken by J F Seddon and John Pritchard. Following our visit we will rejoin our coach for the short housing the debating chamber and three committee rooms for journey to the 4 star New House Country Hotel, where the National Assembly for Wales and also known as the we will check in for 4 nights’ accommodation.

    WORDS: Steve James PICTURES: Danni Beach PASSION FOR THE GAME 72 JANUARY 2005 RUGBY WORLD Rugby prides itself on being a sport which TRADEY PARK, Llanelli, has been the setting for many memorable and uplifting rugby stories throughout its rich history, embraces all comers, and Llanelli Warriors but none more heart-warming than this one: the tale of Llanelli are a shining example of this inclusive Warriors, who believe they are one of only two teams in the world who include players with learning disabilities. ‘Integrated rugby’ is ethos. Rugby World travelled to west how they like to describe it, as ‘able-bodied’ players play alongside PASSION the disabled. Very rarely do you fi nd that kind of interaction in any Wales to see the team in action and Ssport, and it is especially laudable in such a full-contact sport like rugby, given that FOR THE GAME discover what makes them so special most people’s instinct is to wrap those with learning disabilities in cotton wool. RUGBY WORLD JANUARY 2005 73 JAMES FORESTER Family practice: Meredith Pugh is following the footsteps of his rugby-playing brother, father and grandfather And it might surprise you to learn that the Warriors (or Rhyfelwyr to give them their Welsh moniker) are in their tenth season – and some season it promises to be, with a series of fund-raising events culminating in a two-week tour to New Zealand to watch the British & Irish Lions and to play three matches against local sides. So where did this extraordinary journey begin? Well, in 1994 the only other similar side, Swansea Gladiators, challenged Heol Goffa Social Activity Centre – a day centre in Llanelli for adults with learning difficulties – to a match.
