Man v Horse, Saturday June 8th 2019 The recent Man v Horse event welcomed a relay team from our twin town of Meriel in France.

The Man v Horse Committee thought that as it was the 40th Anniversary of the race that they would invite a team from Meriel to take part. They contacted the Llanwrtyd Wells Twinning Association and asked if they would co-ordinate with Meriel and arrange for a team to participate.

Co-operation between Meriel Town Mayor, Jean Louis Delanoy, his personal assistant Dominique, Twinning Secretary Liz, as well as Jerome Francois and the OSML made the visit possible.

The party from Meriel was met at the Neuadd Arms by several members of the Twinning Association, to begin what was to be a very enjoyable weekend.

It was particularly pleasing to receive praise from our friends from Meriel regarding the quality of the event’s organisation.

The party left for home on the Sunday morning with the assurance that they would be back for next year’s event with a greater number of runners.

Ysgol Dôlafon Newsletter

Rob Loveridge -Stem Ambassador led workshops on Dinosaurs in FP and on Meteorites in KS2. Thank you.

Red Nose Day – We sold red noses and raised £50 for the Comic Relief appeal. All pupils in Mrs Lloyd’s class went to Theatr Brycheiniog to see the production “One Small Step”. Arts Council Wales largely funded this.

Trees from the Woodland Trust have been planted around the school grounds and in the car park. We are taking part in the ‘Grow Your Own Potato Project’.

Pupils produced artwork for a display at the opening of the Community Transport Drop in Centre. Thank you for the donation to school funds.

Following a Powys County Council decision our 3+ Setting (Dôlafon Ducklings) now only operates from Monday –Wednesday from 9am-11:30am. Lorraine Voss (Setting Leader) and Julia Curtis (Assistant) resigned from their positions at the end of April. We wish them both well in their lives after Dôlafon Ducklings. Thank you. Gemma Powell (Setting Leader) and Jane Webb (Assistant) have replaced them. The Setting was inspected by CIW in March 2019 and received a glowing report. https://gweddill.gov.wales/docs/cssiw/report/inspection_reports/16622_c_190515_e.pdf

The Food Standards Agency awarded our school canteen a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 in a recent inspection. The school and hall had a cleaning audit carried out by Powys CC, standards were judged to be ‘good’. The School was awarded Healthy School Phase 5. The assessor saw plenty of evidence that the healthy school ethos is ongoing and embedded through class work and displays. Pupils in Key Stage 2 had an enjoyable day at the Hay Festival, thank you to Friends of School who paid for the transport.

On behalf of Friends of School we would like to thank you all for helping us raise £263.20 (525 kilos) with our recent Rags to Riches collection.

As many of you may have heard, Gill has decided to retire as Head teacher at Ysgol Dôlafon at the end of this school year. Gill will have been at the school for 36 years and has played a major role in so many children’s lives in Llanwrtyd and the surrounding area. If you would like to make a donation to her leaving gift please drop it in to the school office.

CCTV

The Town Council have been unsuccessful with our bid to the Police & Crime Commissioners Community Fund for money for CCTV for the Town Square and Green.

Unfortunately it is felt that CCTV is something the town needs to ensure the safety of the town and tourists, and support business. As a result we are calling on the community to support us in our endeavours to raise the monies required.

At the moment the fund stands at just over £300 raised by a councillor and a small group from a sponsored carol singing around the vandalised Christmas tree in December 2018.

Be proud of our town invest in its future Please sponsor or donate to CCTV for a Safer Llanwrtyd.

Wales in Bloom – Friday 5th

July

As mentioned previously the Town Council is supporting an entry

this year in the Wales in Bloom Large Village Category (less than

1,000 inhabitants). Participating in Wales in Bloom encourages us

to improve the appearance of our town not only for the benefit of

visitors but also to help the well-being of the community. You will

have noticed the work that has been done over the last two months

to improve the beds in the Town Centre. But Wales in Bloom is

not just about flowers. The judge, who will be visiting Llanwrtyd

on Friday 5th

July, will also be looking for cleanliness and tidiness

around the town and its environment, well-kept residential front

gardens, good support from businesses and a collaborative

community spirit.

The Town Council hopes that residents will support them in this

initiative.
