24 Community A LEAFLET celebrating
Marloes’ rich heritage has been produced by the Coastlands Local History Group with support from PLANED (Pembrokeshire Local Action Network for Enterprise and Development). The launch of the leaflet coincided
with an exhibition on Marloes history held over the two days earlier this month, with over 150 people attending the exhibition. Speaking at the launch, group
Open Fishing Competition: Raising money for Wales Air Ambulance THE 15TH Wales Air
Ambulance Open Beach Fishing Competition, organised by members from Pembroke and District Angling Club and Osprey Sea Angling Club, was held on January 15 at Amroth beach, South Pembrokeshire. A great turnout in turn brought
with it great spirit, and the support was better than previous years, with 94 (cf91) anglers, including four junior boys, three junior girls and four ladies. In total, 23 anglers, including
two ladies, one junior boy and one junior girl, weighed in 24 sizeable flounders, with a few others
undersize and lots of rockling being caught. The winning angler who
managed to land two half decent sized flounder, for 755g, was Gwent SAC angler Zak Williams, all the way from Newport, netting him the first prize of £200. Second was Tony O’Neill from Saundersfoot, who managed to bag a brilliant sizeable flounder of 495g, netting him £75, as well as the pool for heaviest flounder of £94. There was a tie for third place
between two local people - John Nicholas from Tenby and David Elworthy from Pembroke Dock - who both had a flounder of 475g.
The pair’s competition, in which both anglers had to weigh in, was won by Zak and his partner Craig Maddock with three flounder for 1kg 210g. Second with two flounders for 905g were John and his partner, Alex Nicholas (Pembroke Dock), and third with two for 660g were visiting anglers Paul Gregory and Mel Botterfield. The ladies’ section was won by
International Angler Sally Owen, from Cardiff, with a flounder of 400g, and the junior section was won by Harvey Jones, who had one of 380g, beating Eden Nicholas (Alex’s daughter and first time fishing) into second place with one of 330g. James Lemon of Awesome
Fishing was thanked for one of the prizes for the junior section winner who took home - as well as the cash prize, sponsored by Shane Tucker - a free guided trip out on his boat, or on-shore bass fishing later this year; the second junior also got part of the cash kindly put up by Shane. However, the most important
result on the day was that the event, by the time all the money is in, will have raised over £600 for the Wales Air Ambulance, pushing the total raised over the 15 years the competition has been running close to £20,000. Congratulations are extended
to the anglers from the organising clubs, together with Mr Ian Wilkinson of the Temple Bar Inn who put his premises and valued support at this event’s disposal. Lastly, thanks were given to all the kind and generous sponsors of the event, including those already mentioned who donated cash, made collections, ran a quiz and donated prizes for the mega raffle which ensured continuation of the event’s great success. The next competition will be
held on Sunday, February 15, which will be the 10th RNLI Annual Fishing Open, in aid of the local lifeboat stations at Angle and Tenby.
Tiers Cross Young Farmers: Presenting a cheque to Emma, founder of the DPJ Foundation
TIERS CROSS YOUNG
FARMERS have held a number of fundraising events over the past few months. In December last year, they held
a Christmas bingo in the Welcome Traveller, Tiers Cross, with past and present members and family of the Young Farmers attending. Members then spent two cold
nights carol singing around the local houses of past and present members, raising a fantastic £1,000 from the two events that will now go towards the DPJ Foundation.
The DPJ Foundation is a new
charity based in Pembrokeshire which focuses on mental health awareness in agricultural areas throughout the county. Tiers Cross Young Farmers
chose the charity as they felt it was an appropriate choice with many members being involved in agriculture. Emma, who set up the foundation
after her husband committed suicide last year as a result of mental health problems, also spent an evening with the Young Farmers to tell them how the fundraising will help.
member Yvonne Evans said: “Marloes has many fascinating aspects to its past, which are not very well known. We wanted to spread the word about Marloes’ heritage and the working group have done extensive research over the past year. We are grateful to all those who contributed to the leaflet with specific information and to the local artists who kindly produced the drawings.” Kate Lindley, of PLANED, who
supported the group in their research and the production of the leaflet, said: “The Coastlands Local History Group’s work is an excellent example of local people showcasing their heritage through providing enjoyable and informative experience to visitors

Wales Air Ambulance Open a great success New leaflet celebrates Marloes’ history
and locals.” PLANED has assisted the
Coastlands group in the production of Dale and St Ishmaels heritage leaflets in the past and Marloes is a new addition to this collection. The leaflets will be distributed locally and a copy can be picked up from the village store and the Old Stables Heritage Centre, Dale, which is being open on Thursday mornings at present. Kate continued: “Leaflets are
seen as a more traditional means of interpreting local heritage and I am pleased to say that we will be taking the Coastlands group on a digital heritage journey over the next 18 months as PLANED has been successful in securing funding from the Arwain Sir Benfro LEADER programme for its Innovative Heritage project.” The Innovative Heritage project
will work with five communities, the Coastlands, Pembroke Dock, Saundersfoot, St Davids and St Dogmaels, to inspire new dimensions by providing a range of digital opportunities to the heritage groups as well as networking and progressing with the Echoes of the Past Ecomuseum work.
