SOUNDS FANTASTIC
Rosie’s charity work rewarded
The opportunity for talented local musicians to play in front of a discerning audience was not lost on these talented youngsters. Narberth & Whitland Rotary’s annual concert for talented local young musicians was held in June at the magnificent setting of the Oak Hall at Rhos Y Gilwen mansion, Cilgerran, Pembrokeshire.
The event is to give the artistic youngsters an opportunity to perform in front of a paying audience in a magnificent setting and the audience were certainly very appreciative of the excellent performances given. Taking part were pianist Imogen Grimes, who was able to play on a Grand Piano, (a
Steinway at that) for the first time. Rhys Lewis of Haverfordwest, (Cello) accompanied by Seimon Morris. Vocalists Megan John and Jordan Dickin accompanied by Clive Raymond and Talfan Jenkins of Ysgol Preseli who once again excelled on the saxophone accompanied for the first time by Clive Raymond. Following the concert all performers were presented with a certificate and a token of appreciation from Rotary Club President David Haward who congratulated the performers on an enjoyable afternoon of musical entertain- ment.

Trip of a lifetime for Megan and Rhian
Year 13 pupil, Rosie Culger has been awarded the Pembroke Rotary Club Shield in recognition of her charitable work. Rosie is presently studying Biology and Health Social Care and is hoping to go to university to study Sociology. As part of her charitable work she works at a nursery in Hereford and is a volunteer at the Paul Sartori Foundation in Pembrokeshire. This summer she went to South Africa for three weeks to work at an animal sanctuary helping with rehabilitation of injured wild animals. For next year she has already volunteered to teach English in Fiji. President Robert MacLaren, Pembroke Rotary Club presents Rosie with the shield.
Two students from Cowbridge Comprehensive School were successful in competing for and finding places on the prestigious “Rotary Youth Exchange’’ programme which offers participants an opportunity to attend an international camp along with other students from across the world.
Megan Bailey joined a camp in Italy which focussed on Art and Nature and Rhian Crossman went to Romania where the focus was on
26
Culture, Nature and Industry. These are just two of the 77 camps in 26 countries from Canada to
Taiwan that send us invitations. Entry to the programme is open to suitable candidates aged 15 to 25.
“This camp was a trip of a lifetime which was only possible due to Rotary - I have had so many opportunities and experiences in Italy and have made friends for life,” said Megan.
