WALES V NEW ZEALAND


By Ian Price2, 2009-11-08
Forever to be known as the match that was as flat as several miles of linoleum. Wales were worse than indifferent. The All Blacks were poor but it was nothing compared to the Taff. Fantastically inept they threw away a chance to beat the opposition for the first time in er 56 years. Reputations - such as they were - were ruined.

It's nineteen thirty five again.Or is it fifty three?It could be five past seven.Time's troublesome to me.To win again?It's not to late.The Blacks are back.But not too great.Let's hope its not a seventy eightRemember Andy Haden.

Red and Black


By Ian Price2, 2009-11-05
The All Blacks are here.1978 is in the air and hyperbole runneth high; the ghost of Andy Haden throws his misbegotten soul out of the lineout once again.But it is the nature of man is to forgive ( tempting Von Clauswitz's assertion that "To forget history is to be condemned to relive it.") and so we trudge to Cardiff in our droves in the hope eternal of a 'fair' game.Oceans of booze will be consumed before we reach Tonypandy and much merriment will ensue with the usual pessimistic murmurings that we haven't beaten them since 1953.The All Blacks are here.

Mike Tyson, Merthyr Tydfil & The Times


By Byn (Bynbrynman)Tavarn Ty Elise, 2009-11-03
From Times OnlineNovember 4, 2009Owen Slot, Chief Sports ReporterMike Tyson arrived through Heathrow yesterday... He then left for Merthyr Tydfil, not the most obvious of destinations,...Your CommentsByn Walters wrote:Why the flippant remark "...Merthyr Tydfil, not the most obvious of destinations"? Mike Tyson was a boxer, Merthyr was a boxing town; this is a sports page, so what could be more obvious than that? It wasn't only Johnny Owen he had in mind, he also admired Howard Winstone, featherweight world champion when that phrase meant something; there was Jimmy Wilde, who some say was the best pound for pound fighter in the history of the sport; world champion Ken Buchanan was trained there, so was contender Colin Jones; their manager, Eddie Thomas was European Champion, again, when it meant something; flatten out the hills and the story magnifies to include boxers of the calibre of Tommy Farr who took Joe Louis the distance; so don't be so flippant next time you mention Merthyr and boxing in the same articleNovember 3, 2009 10:37 PM GMT on community.timesonline.co.uk

" A Sense of Place" - A Photographic Competition

We are immensely proud and pleased to announce that for the second year running internationally renowned photographer Glyn Davies will be judging the Left Coast Eisteddfod Visual Image Competition . For more information about Glyn follow this LINK . For a selection of breathtaking images which Glyn recently uploaded to Americymru check out the slideshow below.

In defining the theme for this years competition our judge , Glyn Davies made the following comments regarding content and submissions:- "What is it about our environment, whether landscape or people, that makes it so particular to us, the artists? We could all photograph a tree on a hillside, a wave crashing over a rock or even a pretty person in the street, but what identifies them with YOUR locality ? As the judge, based in Wales, I am interested in seeing photographs which give me a better idea about the characteristics and atmosphere of the artists homeland. This does NOT mean that images have to be ordinary, they can be moody, dramatic and immaculately composed but I want them to show me that we are all living in amazing and DIFFERENT places. I want the artists to celebrate what is special about their own location and culture. This way, not only do we get to see amazing images, but we can all learn more about each other in the process." . Please take the time to read the rules carefully before entering . Any queries shoud be directed to americymru@gmail.com . There is a first prize of $150 for both categories the Visual Image Competition. The categories are outlined below:-

  • A Photographic Image - either from film or digital cameras which generally represents the subject without adding or subtracting elements. Please feel free to add text explaining why you thinks the image is important - " I do not believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, images can be too easily misinterpreted ." - Glyn Davies.

  • A Photographic Illustration - this is any image which has been substantially adjusted and manipulated by whatever means, digital or analogue, and which is generally non representational of a real person/place/event. The manipulation MUST be relevant to a theme or idea, manipulation for manipulation's sake will not be given serious consideration. The idea should be put in writing to accompany the image.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our contestants the very best of luck in the Visual Image Competition. Winners will be announced at the Left Coast Eisteddfod in October 2010.
