Usually, in the evening, there is a Noson Lawen, several concerts perhaps, and a show or two with, say, Mike Doyle or Max Boyce on at least two channels - but not this year. The television and papers seemed dominated by sport with little time or space given over to our national day. Cardiff, though, was ablaze with flags and banners, and the National ...

Clive Betts- Devolution Settlement
It’s increasingly clear: the existing devolutionary settlement hampers Assembly’s competence to deliver for Wales
The brief note of triumph from minister Jane Hutt the day that the first Legislative Competence Order was finally passed by the Commons hid far more than it revealed.
Our education minister wrote that it is “wonderful’ that the first LCO put forward by the Assembly, to change special educational provision for children in Wales, has at last been approve...

Escape into the Park

Wales's biggest dance festival is taking place on 14th June in Swansea's Singleton Park. A selection of DJ's from all over the world will be providing entertainment for eleven non-stop hours from 12 noon.


'Rubbish'

Ceredigion Museum will be holding an exhibition on the history of rubbish and recycling from May 3rd to 19th July.

'Our grandparents used all sorts of things more than once and often made new things out of old. During war years people were encouraged to 'make do and mend. Some of these things are still done by many older people today.' Michael Freeman, the curator would like your help - 'In recent weeks there has been a call for all of us plastic bag. We would like to start a collection of plastic bags before they disappear. We would like to collect bags which have local logos or shop names on them. Please bring in good quality examples to the museum.'

Ceredigion Museum would also like to include old aluminium milk bottle tops in the display. These were collected for recycling until the 1980s and they would be very please to hear of any still lurking in drawers or garages.

For  more information contact Ceredigion Museum on 01970 633087
