Sunset at Aberpergwm. I'm trying to match up my look with the 'Beware Cyclists' sign. I haven't quite got the angle right yet, back to the drawing board I think. |

Walking in the woods today, I came across this jelly stuff, its like frog spawn but without the tadpole dots in the middle, strange stuff. If anyone can shed any light on this please do. |

4 January 2023 - re-unions
|
|
Class 1b, Hurricances & punk rock re-union in Weatherspoons, Port Talbot. Back in the 1970's we had a five-a-side team in the Afan Lido weekly kids competition. Pete Watkins, Richard Price, Mark Harris and myself were 4 of the team, we couldn't remember the five. Pete, myself, Gareth Thomas and Gareth Bamsey used to travel to see the punk rock and new wave bands in the Top Rank, Cardiff and in our home town venue, The Troubador, bands such as The Damned, The Jam, Boomtown Rats, Revillos, Wayne County and the Electric Chairs, XTC and The Clash. Later in the evening we were joined by Pam Jones, Pete, Richard, Pam & myself were all in form 1b of Glanafan School before Pam and Richard moved up into the more intelligent 1a class. |

I bumped into Vernon in
Lancaster Close on 13 January of this year and he started
telling me about the bus garage at the top of the Close and that
he used to work for Davies' buses. So I got out my camera and
started recording him. This video is a temporary video uploaded
to Facebook only, ideally
I'd like to add photos of the buses and garage etc and any other
stories or information that can be gathered in relation to the
bus company for a more complete video. If you are able to help,
please add any photos or comments to this post and I'll add them
to the final version of this video :)

| Tredegar RFC |
|
A recent donation to our on-line rugby museum www.world-rugby-museum.com included this Tredegar RFC report booklet for the 1972/73 season plus the Annual General Meeting and a vice-presidents season ticket for Gilmore Lewis. I understand that Gil moved up to the North of England some time after this. I was hoping that someone out there could shed some light about Gil's involvement with the rugby club or just some general info about him, a photo of Gil would be nice. |
