Roman romp heading to Carmarthen


By Robert Lloyd, 2012-07-18

Just Good Friends, Carmarthen's theatre company, will present the Roman romp 'A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To The Forum' at St Peter's Civic Hall, Carmarthen, from 25th to 27th July at 7.30pm.
This musical comedy is linked with the name of Frankie Howerd who played the main role of Pseudolus the slave at a National Theatre production.
Swansea's own Desmond Barrit also played the role and he has sent the company good luck messages from the cast of Wicked, in which he is currently performing in the West End.
Featuring as Pseudolus in the Carmarthen production is Chris Potter, a Llanelli deputy head, who two years ago won an award from NODA for the best performance in Wales and Ireland for Dafydd in A Chorus of Disapproval.
Rehearsals are a "hoot" and audiences are guaranteed an evening of laughter and tapping feet.
Tickets are available from Sian Morris, Director at 01267 237386

Bridgend shop staff join in the charity fun


By Robert Lloyd, 2012-07-17


Staff at the Jenkins Bakery shop at 9 The Rhiw Shopping Centre in Bridgend helped to launch the company's summer campaign to raise money for Cancer Research.
The 'Pink Week' campaign is running all week at Jenkins Bakery shops throughout South Wales.
"We hope to raise more than 2,000," said area manager Fiona Snook.
For every chocolate dip sold at Jenkins bakery shops, 5p will be donated to charity.
Fiona added: "We have supported the charity for the last two years and on both occasions have raised 1,850, through customer donations collected in the shops and also by donating 5p for every chocolate dip that we sell.
"It would be great if we could reach 2,000 this year and Im sure everyone on the Jenkins Bakery team will make an effort by decorating their shops and window displays pink to draw attention to customers to help support such a good cause.
"The shop managers have Cancer Research UK pink T-shirts to wear and staff will be wearing pink T-shirts during the fund-raising week."
