Just trying the uniform on, ready for the London 2012 Olympics.

I am a volunteer member of the Press Operations team.

Carmarthen Town AFC is looking to put together a team of ground staff for the coming season.
The work involves the preparation, maintenance and repair of the football pitch for all matches involving the various teams representing Carmarthen Town.
In particular, grass cutting, divot repair/replacement, chain harrowing, pitch marking and grooming work will ensure that the best possible playing surface is available for the teams.
New recruits will work as a coordinated team with Richmond Parks current groundsman.
Anyone who is prepared to be part of the team should contact Jonathan Lewis on 0772646106 or Anthony Parnell on 07989448629.

The Welsh Poetry Competition 20 1 2 o rganisers have announced the winners of the 6 th international competition and the overall winner was Sally Spedding for h er poem She wears green .

The winning poem creates a mood and expresses emotion, it challenges and influences. She wears green: we all wear green. We recycle, save the planet, watch nature documentaries, fill the bird feeder every winter, yet we live in a nation where around 4 million scientific experiments are carried out on live animals annually, less than 3% of the population are vegetarian, and important wildlife habitat and green zones are destroyed with increasing regularity. This poem challenges us all. A prose poem, yes, but above all this is a very well written poem and a worthy winner. said John Evans, competition judge.

.

The winners were as follows:

1st Prize She wears green by Sally Spedding

2nd Prize Lambing Language by Glyn Edwards

3rd Prize Austerity by Morgan Rhys Powell

Anyone interested in furthering their education in Carmarthenshire should keep a look-out for a new booklet on community education courses.
It's out now in libraries and community centres in Carmarthenshire.
The booklet for the latest Learning Carmarthenshire community education courses has some smashing Tim Jones pictures of South Wales millionaire Kevin Green, who was the guest speaker at the recent education awards bash at Parc y Scarlets, Llanelli.
