Another visit to the John Burns Foundation tonight for The Kidwelly Local History Society monthly talk, this time Emilia Earhart the first woman to cross The Atlantic by airplane, culminating in the sea landing in the Burry Port area, the film created by Mr Ceri John did not disappoint, I thought I knew the Amelia Earhart story, though after tonight I know substantially more. These talks are really well worth attending, a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Next month the forgotten shops of Kidwelly.

Finally got around to attending a meeting of The Kidwelly Local History Society at the John Burns Foundation, in a very relaxed atmosphere the subject was David Lloyd George receiving the freedom of Kidwelly on September 8th 1923, brilliantly told by the Society’s Keith Evans.

Here’s the thing there was only one photo of Lloyd George outside the Castle and a commemorative trinket, has anyone on social media know of any other photos, commemorative items or even family anecdotes, DM to me and I’ll pass the info on.

Finally got around to uploading my images from this year's Remembrance Sunday to Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales, National Library of People's Collection Wales to which I am now a contributor, the first is by far my favourite, in addition I thought Catrin Jones's rendition of the last post was superb, even though the weather was inclement there was a fantastic turnout to pay resect to the fallen, the rest of the images can be viewed here... https://www.peoplescollection.wales/items/2071026

Throwback Thursday from March 2017, the day Swedish Rugby national side came to a little Welsh village to play progressive rugby club Nantgaredig RFC a fine afternoon of rugby that day as I remember.

Today from the archive Scarlets v Stade Rochelais at Parc Y Scarlets March 2018, Game time and crowd shots, a capacity that day. The atmosphere unbelievable was unbelievable, spurring the Scarlets on to a historic victory.

04/05/2020

From the Archive 2014 Llanelli Wanderers Youth v Felinfoel RFC youth, this was a typical local derby between two Llanelli sides, no quarter given from either side. Lots of familiar faces from Coleg Sir Gar and Scarlets Academy's playing that day.

All these images are from the 2011 area finals at Trimsaran's Ground, Cae Ffair, Burry Port, Llandeilo and Llanelli Wanderers Juniors. All these boys must in their early twenties now, it's strange to think I've photographed most them right through their formative rugby years.

29/04/2020

Way back Wednesday 2014 Cowbridge High v Brynteg School National School's final at the Principality Stadium always a great occasion, massive achievement for all concerned. Both teams adding their names to The Welsh School's Intermediate Group long history

28/04/2020

The first-ever fixture I covered for Coleg Sir Gar back in 2011, it's been an absolute pleasure covering their games ever since. Undoubtedly one of the best College Rugby Academy's in the country.
