PROM EYESORE DEVELOPER IS BACK ON TRACK WITH WORK

Phase One to start in May with Asda, flood defences and highways connection By JUSTINE BAILEY

FOLLOWING months of delays a developer set to transform a promenade eyesore revealed this week that work will resume in May.

Since Rhyl Funfair was demolished in September, 2007, to make way for a multi-million pound housing and retail development, the area has lain empty and has been a target for vandals and arsonists. Residents of Rhyl have repeatedly complained about how unsightly the area looks. Since work came to a standstill last May, the Visitor has been inundated with calls and e-mails from concerned residents keen to know what was happening with the site, partic-

BACK ON TRACK: An artist’s impression of how the Ocean Plaza development in Rhyl will look. ularly as rumour was the developer had pulled out. But Manchester-based developer Modus Properties was actually forced to delay work last year as environmental conditions were thrashed out

for the £85m development, but now all this is sorted work on Phase One will get underway in May. This first phase includes the building of an Asda supermarket, flood defence works and a highways link. Further

developments at the site include 200 apartments, a hotel and pubs. The news comes the week after the former Downtown nightclub, which is to be demolished as part of the development, was torched by arsonists (see page 6). A Modus spokeswoman said: “We are hoping to start the phase one works in May and these units will be demolished then, but if someone from the council makes a very strong case for demolition now, we will consider it.” Cllr Mike Espley said he was pleased to hear the burnt building will be down in time for the summer, but said it would be nice if it was removed before the Easter holidaymakers arrive in the town. “While May is not too far off, it would be good if they could be down sooner as visitors start to arrive from Easter so really the sooner these buildings come down the better for Rhyl,” he said.

Beach regeneration

THE recent work to regenerate Prestatyn's Central Beach area has been boosted with news of a further injection of major Welsh Assembly Government investment. Denbighshire County Council Area Regeneration and Investment Team has been awarded £355,500 to fund the third phase of developments at Central Beach. Work will begin on site on January 19 for approximately 12 weeks, with KM Construction selected to carry out the works. The work will include the creation of improved and accessible pathways, new steps, walls, decorative fencing and handrails. The project will also create interesting design and lighting elements of the area for both residents and visitors, to enhance start of the Offa’s Dyke National Trail. Complementing this redevelopment work will be the installation of an iconic piece of public art. The sculpture design by Camm Design is called Dechrau a Diwedd (Beginning and End) and it alludes to Offa and the National Trail. This has been funded through a partnership project part funded by the Arts Council for Wales, Denbighshire County Council and Prestatyn Town Council. The Offa’s Dyke Centre is also undergoing an upgrade, with a new Interpretation and Information cafe planned to open in the spring. This facility will have information and exhibits relating to the Offa’s Dyke National Trail, the little tern colony, the local flora and fauna and renewable energy information in connection with the wind turbines out to sea. All the works are part of the Prestatyn Action Plan and are part of a planned improvement programme for the area. During 2008 the car park and the area adjacent to the arcade saw environmental improvements carried out, part funded by the Welsh Assembly Government.

Firefighters needed NORTH Wales Fire and Rescue Service has this week launched a recruitment campaign for wholetime firefighters. It was launched on Monday and aspiring firefighters are being asked to call 0300 123 80 90 to request an application pack. The lines will close on January 23. The closing date for applications is January 28. Llinos Gutierrez-Jones, Human Resources Manager for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, said: “We aim to achieve a workforce that’s representative of our communities, and to do this we’re particularly keen to encourage applications from women and people from black and minority ethnic groups.”

Hopes to avoid high school closure

POSSIBLE CLOSURE: The future of the Blesses Edward Jones sixth form is uncertain. Headteacher Catherine Britton (inset) has said she will move ‘heaven and earth’ to avoid the sixth form closure.

By JUSTINE BAILEY

CONTROVERSIAL plans to close two Rhyl sixth forms and replace them with a single new college are facing strong opposition.

Education Minister Jane Hutt has said she intends to approve the plans for Rhyl High School and Blessed Edward Jones High School in the same town. But the move is subject to both schools confirming that they are committed to a new partnership for the venture. One head teacher said she would “move heaven and earth” to avoid closure. The move to close the sixth forms and open a single institution follows a report carried out by education consultants last year which identified that the best option for improving post-16 education in Rhyl was to “give ownership” to Llandrillo

Opposition to plans for sixth form development College in Conwy. The new College Rhyl Sixth would be operated in conjunction with Llandrillo College, Ms Hutt said. She added that its main base would be a purpose-built centre attached to the current Llandrillo College building and would have a capacity for 300 students. She said: “This will be a flagship development for Wales which retains the strengths of the single centre option whilst also benefiting from the advantages of close working between the college and schools.” When the proposals to create a single sixth form were first raised by Denbighshire council there was strong opposition

from both schools. Out of 250 people who responded to a public consultation, 240 indicated they were opposed. The schools have until February 6 to give their response to Ms Hutt’s proposal, a council spokesman said. He added: “We have been notified of the minister’s stance on the post-16 issue in Rhyl. “Both governing bodies will now have to consider the proposals. “Once we know the official stance of the schools and how they are likely to respond, we will be issuing a statement.” Catherine Britton, head teacher of Blessed Edward Jones School, said: “I will move heaven and earth to avoid

this situation. “It’s my duty to preserve post16 faith-based education in Denbighshire and I will do this by partnering other faith providers both in and out of the county.” The school are said to have already agreed a Catholic partnership between St Richard Gwyn in Flintshire, and St Brigid’s in Denbighshire. Commenting on proposals for a new sixth form for Rhyl, Conservative Parliamentary candidate Matt Wright told the Visitor: “Our young people deserve the best chance they can get to advance their education, help our economy and regenerate Rhyl. Their aspirations must come first. Rhyl has the chance of a brand new sixth form facility on the Rhyl College site. It would be a great step forward for Rhyl and a positive new development the town can be proud of.”

Euro funds boost for tourism A DENBIGHSHIRE County Council led project is one of 24 European projects that have been successful in obtaining a share of a 39.5 million euro funding boost. The council is the lead partner of the Cantata2 project, which focuses on tourism development, connecting Small Medium Enterprises and exploring networks to exploit local potential and improve competitiveness. It also looks at identifying innovative ways of developing products, training and marketing and routes to markets. The total cost of the project is 2.2 million euros and it has been awarded 1.5 million euros of European Regional Development Fund monies, as part of the Atlantic Area Operational Programme 20072013. Previously, the Council led the Cantata project, a 1.9 million euro tourism development project which was a partnership between Denbighshire, County Clare (Ireland), Galicia (North West Spain), Poher (Brittany) and Montemor-o-Velho (Portugal). Cantata assisted local tourism groups and businesses to help themselves and each other through capacity building workshops to build local knowledge, local distinctiveness and pride in the local tourism asset.

Help to access support on mental health issues THE new year sees a new beginning for adult mental health service users and carers in Conwy and Denbighshire with the launch of their very own website. Easy to use and read, with the latest information on a variety of issues, the website has been created, designed and written by users and carers supported by staff at Unllais, the North Wales mental health development, information, and training agency. At the click of a mouse, the new inter-active facility enables service users and carers to log on to special forums. “This is a huge breakthrough in terms of user and carer

involvement,” said Ian Davies, Service User Board Member with the Conwy & Denbighshire Adult Mental Health and Social Care Partnership. “The new website is a great opportunity to raise the profile of positive mental health participation and make contact with people who are hard to reach or have difficulty accessing services.” Unllais information officer Peter Rodgers said: “Unllais hopes the new website will bring together service users and carers from across Conwy and Denbighshire to share experiences and influence the direction of mental health services in the region.”

Cost cuts pose threat to towns COST-CUTTING measures by Denbighshire County Council, which have been criticised by councillors and local politicians, were recommended on Monday. Further money-saving moves, including the closure of a village library, will be considered tomorrow (Thursday). It is feared the cashslashing exercises, which include ripping up flowerbeds, leaving grass uncut and reducing street cleaning will turn parts of the county into tumbleweed towns (see page 7). The cuts will save the county at least £691,000, but Rhyl Cllr Brian Blakeley fears they will “antagonise, alienate and abandon residents”. The proposals will now go before Denbighshire’s cabinet for further debate. Meanwhile tomorrow (Thursday) at a special meeting of the Lifelong Learning Scrutiny Committee further cost-cutting measures will be proposed. These include the closure of Rhuddlan library, withdrawal of the mobile library service in Rhyl, reduction in seasonal planting at Botanical Gardens, Rhyl, closure of Cae Ddol Paddling Pool and the closure of Rhuddlan One Stop shop. Denbighshire County Council is also proposing to remove its presence at the Denbigh and Flintshire Show and stopping early retirement payments.

Town council wants urgent review by county

Food for thought

By JUSTINE BAILEY

COUNCILLORS concerned that shoppers are being driven away from the tourist town they represent because of new parking regulations want an urgent review of the situation.

Since the new laws came in to force in Rhyl before Christmas, both shoppers and traders on Wellington Road have been up in arms. At a meeting of Rhyl Town Council on Wednesday Cllr Glyn Williams proposed the council write to Denbighshire urging officers to consider the matter again now, and not in six months time as they previously proposed. “Six months will take us to the middle of the summer, which is no good,” said Cllr Williams. “The county council have made a mistake here and the situation needs looking at again now, not in three months or six months. “I know of some disabled people who don’t shop in the town anymore because there is nowhere for them to park. There must be more provision for disabled people. “To see Rhyl so sparse at Christmas time was very sad indeed.” Cllr Geraldine Jones said

REVIEW NEEDED: Wellington Road traders Simon Cabb (Barnetts) and Barry Gorst (Bargain Corner) whose businesses have been badly hit by the new parking regulations.

Parking rules are killing town trade she herself has experienced problems when taking her elderly parents into town. Blue Badge holders are allowed to park on the loading bays, but only for 10 minutes and Cllr Jones said someone has to remain in the car during that time. “It is absolutely appalling given there are so few spaces,” she said. “It is a hor-

rendous situation.” Before Christmas several traders on Wellington Road told the Visitor of a fall in trade since the new regulations had been introduced and said they feared for the future of their businesses. They said as customers could no longer park outside their premises they were being forced to shop elsewhere.

Rhyl Town Council decided to write to Denbighshire raising their concerns and asking for the situation to be looked as a matter of urgency. They also requested the local authority reply by the town council’s next Finance and General Policy meeting, which will take place on February 4.

Carole Brand, LighterLife Counsellor for Rhyl comments: “The LighterLife Programme is the only national weightloss and weight-management plan that looks beyond food, to examine lifestyle and emotions in order to help clients to break the weight-loss / weight -gain cycle and make lasting changes.

Shoplifter jailed A WOMAN with over 100 convictions received another jail sentence after admitting further shoplifting offences to feed to her heroin addiction. Amanda Teese, 34, of Butterton Road, was jailed for four months by Llandudno magistrates on December 29 after pleading guilty to theft. On Monday at Prestatyn magistrates’ court she admitted taking £251 worth of beauty products from the InStore in Colwyn Bay’s Bay View shopping centre in April, 2008. That offence pre-dated those for which she had been jailed and so the bench gave her a three-month sentence to run concurrently. She also asked for three other cases to be considered.

CRAWLER LANE CALLS: Vale of Clwyd AM, Ann Jones, wants the A55 Rhuallt Hill to be made safer.

Rhuallt crawler lane is needed for A55 safety

By JUSTINE BAILEY

AN Assembly Member, concerned for the safety of drivers at an accident hot spot, has made fresh calls for urgent action to make the area less dangerous by creating a crawler lane.

Ann Jones, AM for the Vale of Clwyd, believes the improvements are crucial on the A55 Rhuallt Hill near St Asaph, which has been the scene of many accidents over the years. There is already a third lane on the uphill stretch, but it is not marked as a crawler lane. Also, there is a layby half way up from which lorries pull out slowly and unexpectedly. Welsh transport minister Ieuan Wyn Jones ruled out building a hard shoulder along the 80-mile carriageway on grounds of cost. This was

proved safety.” The Labour AM welcomed a pilot scheme, starting this month, in which highways officers will patrol troublespots on the A55 to help clear breakdowns and crashed vehicles. “It is clear the A55 has serious problems so solutions need to be implemented now,” she added. “Hard shoulders are few and far between along the A55, and there are particular issues about Rhuallt Hill.” She asked whether a crawler lane for HGVs could be designated on the hill and called for a full review of the A55, given that it is a trans-European network road. Mr Jones said the cost of a hard shoulder would be “hundreds of millions of pounds”, and not feasible in the foreseeable future. Politicians are seeking enhanced safety precautions despite Assembly Government claims that the safety record on the A55 is good compared to similar roads. Mr Jones has promised in the Senedd to return to the concerns about Rhuallt Hill. “I accept there are particular areas of that road that need to be looked at,” he said.

despite a plea by Joey Clark, the father of 10-year-old Chloe from Llandudno, who died in an accident after the family car broke down. “I have, on numerous occasions, called for this to be addressed as a matter of urgency by the minister for economy and transport, Ieuan Wyn Jones,” said Ms Jones. “I cannot accept public safety being stalled behind other business, as the risk is simply too great. “In a recent meeting with the minister I pushed for a crawler lane to be installed on the Rhuallt Hill which is a particularly dangerous area. “The minister agreed to consider a feasibility study which I am confident that, if carried out, will detail the need for im-

A MAN banned from ever approaching his former partner again went straight back to her home from court where the order was made. Ian Latter, 40, of Church Street in Rhyl, admitted his 20th breach of an indefinite restraining order and was jailed for six months. The judge, Mr Recorder Nic Parry, also activated a 30 week suspended prison sentence which he received last November for a previous breach. Simon Rogers, defending, said Latter intends to get his own accommodation. “He knows he has to abide by the restraining order or the prison sentences will simply get longer,” he said. Latter is not to approach Christine Platt or go within 100 metres of her home in Brig y Don, Prestatyn.

A new drill for dentists NEW regulations will require practitioners who provide any nonNHS dental treatment to register with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW), the healthcare watchdog. HIW will have the powers to inspect practices and act on any complaints. It means that dental practitioners providing private dental treatment in Wales will be inspected to the same standards applied to NHS funded services.

Youth custody for drug dealer A TEENAGER who dealt in drugs after he got into debt because of his own extensive cannabis habit has been sentenced to 12 months youth custody. Media, art and design student Richard Frank Griffiths, 18, of Pen y Ddol, Llanynys, near Ruthin, supplied cannabis, agreed to mind more than 1,000 Ecstasy tablets and also arranged a cocaine supply through someone else. Mold crown court heard that while most of Griffiths’s deals were small ones, he had supplied a nine bar of cannabis for £1,100 at one stage. Griffiths admitted possessing Ecstasy with intent to supply back to the original supplier, possessing a small amount of Ecstasy for his own use, supplying cannabis and being concerned in the supply of cocaine. Simon Mintz, defending, said Griffiths lived at home with his parents, helped at the local church and referees spoke of him as being pleasant, polite, hard-working and a much loved member of his family.

Rape conviction

A MAN convicted of raping a woman in her home has been told he faces a prison sentence measured in years. John Raymond Ward, 34, had been homeless in Rhyl and the victim had spoken to him in the street and advised him how he should get accommodation. When they met by chance a week later he told her he had got a bedsit and invited her to see it. They shared vodka there, but after a while the woman in her 40s decided to return to the flat she shared with her partner. He invited himself along, bought more vodka on the way, and attacked her in her flat. Ward, now of Water Street in Rhyl, told Mold crown court he remembered kissing her but then “the lights went out” and he recalled nothing else. The jury heard Ward had previous convictions including one of a sexually assaulting a 67-year-old woman. Ward was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at the end of the month.

OPTIMISTIC: Neil Rowlands, the new Chairman of Tourism Partnership North Wales, thinks 2009 will be a good year for tourism in Denbighshire.

Weak pound is good news for tourism THE weak pound could provide a big boost for tourism in Denbighshire in 2009. That is the view of Neil Rowlands, the newly-elected chairman of Tourism Partnership North Wales which is responsible for the strategic development of the region’s visitor economy. Mr Rowlands, who runs the four star Tre-Ysgawen Hall, on the outskirts of Llangefni, on Anglesey, believes the economic downturn can also provide opportunities for tourism operators. He said: “The relative weakness of Sterling against the euro is a mixed blessing but on the upside is the fact that, in a number of important respects, it is going to be good for tourism. “For one thing it means that it is going to be more expensive for UK people to go abroad on holiday. “At the same time, it’s going to make the UK a more attractive destination for European visitors because they will get more pounds for their euros.” A former Chairman of the Anglesey Tourism Association, Mr Rowlands was delighted to be elected to his new role leading Tourism Partnership.

Cllr Ian Gunning accompanied licensing officers around Rhyl and Prestatyn on New Year’s Eve to show support for Operation Mistletoe and in his capacity as chairman of licensing. He said almost every licensee he spoke to expressed concerns over the credit crunch. Like landlord of the Royal Victoria in Prestatyn, who before Christmas told the Visitor of his worries about the future for licensed premises in the county, Cllr Gunning stressed one of the major problems causing the rapid fall in trade at pubs is the low cost of supermarket beers and ciders. “Revellers did not come into town until mid-evening on New Year’s Eve, a common trend that not even the busiest night of the

“People are drinking cheap supermarket alcohol at home before they go out to the pubs and clubs. Some clubs do not open their doors until 9pm. The licensees in town are relying on nights such as New Year’s Eve to tide them over the historically bad January and February trade. “When I spoke to owners and licensees ‘pre loading’ of alcohol at home was an issue. “We really need to get to grips with this binge drinking problem and the only way is for supermarkets to be more responsible in their pricing of beer and spirits. “By increasing their prices we would draw a line under kids getting hold of such cheap booze and also reduce the enormous tide of alcohol-fuelled violence as

Milestone for church DECEMBER 28 saw the end of a 133-year period of worship in St Mary’s Church, Denbigh. During this time the fabric of the building has been largely unchanged. In order to meet changing needs, to provide a more appropriately sized and warmer space for worship and to construct areas for social activities the church will be closed for approximately six months. The congregation will worship in Eirianfa while the church is closed and it is hoped that on reopening St Mary’s will play an important role in Denbigh, offering facilities for worship and social outreach.

Scouting for leaders

THE Scouts have exciting plans to expand their presence in Denbigh. The Cub Scouts are the second age range of the Scouts, for 8 to 10½ year old boys and girls, following on from the Beaver Scouts section. Modern day Cub Scouts are very much into playing games, exploring the outdoors, camping, climbing and hiking. They have adventures whilst all the time making new friends and trying new things. The 1st Denbigh Cub Scout Pack has a sound base and premises, with the equipment to give Denbigh boys and girls new and exciting opportunities. But to do this they need more adult leaders with drive and enthusiasm and the ability to have a good time. ■ If you feel you have something to offer, just contact Mark on 01286 669642 or 07825 632500, or email mark.winson@scoutswales.org.uk

Dodged court order A MAN said to have paid no regard to a court order has been jailed for 11 weeks. Paul Anthony Walters, 59, of Wellington Road, Rhyl, first appeared in court on a charge of common assault and was given a community penalty. When he failed to comply he received a 12-week custodial sentence suspended for 12 months. He was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work, but Prestatyn magistrates heard he had completed just 10 hours and had failed to keep several appointments with the probation service. Andy Hutchinson, defending, said Walters accepted he had been at fault, but spent some time out of the area working for a local businessman. The magistrates activated 11 weeks of the suspended sentence giving him one week’s credit for the unpaid work carried out.

Second eyesore for seaside resort after blaze at Downtown By JUSTINE BAILEY

A SEASIDE resort now has a second eyesore on its once famous promenade after arsonists torched the town’s former favourite nightclub.

The Downtown Club on the West Parade in Rhyl is completely burnt out following the blaze at 12.46am last Tuesday morning. Two crews from Rhyl, one from Abergele and one using an aerial ladder fought over an hour to bring the fire under control. The blaze caused 20% fire damage to the ground floor and smoke damage to the rest of the building. North Wales Fire Service say the fire was started deliberately and North Wales Police have started an investigation. “While the Fire and Rescue Service are attending incidents like this, lifesaving resources are tied up, putting the lives of other people at risk,” said a spokesman for the service. “The perpetrators are destroying their own communities. “We would appeal to anyone who knows anything about this or a similar incident to contact their local police station or Crimestoppers.” The Downtown Club closed several years ago. The site will be part of the planned Ocean Plaza apartment, hotel and retail development on the seafront by developers Modus Properties. There have been months of speculation over whether the multi-million project had been scrapped, as the site has lain empty for much of 2008.

Courier in breach of court order A MEMBER of the Denbighshire Visitor’s delivery team appeared in court as a result of his keenness to get the paper to readers. Peter Fender was arrested when he called at his wife’s home to collect the papers for delivery because he had been ordered by a court to keep away. Fender, 60, was on bail on a charge of assaulting his wife Sandra and one of the conditions was he should not return to their home in Llys Eirlys, Rhyl, pending his trial on January 19. On January 7 police were called to the house when he turned up and he admitted breaching the order. Defence solicitor Alex Fitzgerald said Fender, who has been staying with his mother in Ffordd Pennant, Meliden, had inherited a Visitor delivery round from his daughter and had gone to his wife’s address to collect the papers. Magistrates at Prestatyn renewed the bail conditions pending his appearance on January 19.

Close encounter with UFO? By JUSTINE BAILEY

Bald move for charity TWO sisters are digging out their hats in preparation for a sponsored event they are taking part in at the end of the month. Kay Thorley, 25, of Regent Road, Rhyl, along with her sister Annika, of Holywell, are having their heads shaved to raise funds for cystic fibrosis charities. Annika’s daughter Ffion Davies, two, suffers from the condition and the women thought this would be a good way of doing something positive for the charities which provide so much help to sufferers. However in light of the recent cold spell, they are both stocking up on warm hats. The head shave will take place in Holywell on January 31. ■ Anyone wishing to sponsor them should call Kay on 07881830443.

Seaside venue forced to close due to lack of support and dwindling numbers

Last orders called at the old RAF club

ONLY two RAF Association clubs now remain in North Wales after a seaside venue called last orders for the final time last week. The demise of the RAFA Club in Rhyl leaves Llangollen and Wrexham the only branches in the region. In its 1970s heyday the Windsor Street bar had almost 1,000 people trying to get on the members’ list, which was limited to 400. “It’s such a shame, it’s a beautiful place,” said secretary Vernon Thomas. “The club has been here in Windsor Street since 1967, but there has been an RAF club in Rhyl since 1948. “It’s an institution in the town but sadly we had to let it go because of a lack of support and

By JUSTINE BAILEY

lack of members coming in. “Well, that and the fact our prices were being undercut by supermarkets and the huge rise in utility bills. Our electricity bill had gone up to £200 a week.” He added: “The association still has 400 members but a lot of them are elderly and don’t tend to come here. We had no chance of keeping it going. It’s a huge place and we just hope someone will come in and look after it.” Rhyl’s RAFA club has been home for many years to the Rhyl and District Chess Club, as well as the town’s folk club. Mr Thomas is devastated that the committee was unable to keep the venue going, as they had big plans for the future.

“I’ve just spoken to an 89-yearold lady who is upset that we’re closing because she had planned to have her 90th birthday party here. She was crying her eyes out,” he said. Lesley Owen, treasurer of Llangollen RAFA, in Canal Side Gardens, admitted times were hard for all ex-servicemen’s clubs, and was sad to see the closure of the Rhyl premises. “It’s a shame, but we’re still going OK,” she said. “We are ticking over but do need more people to join, to give us a boost. Obviously it’s very difficult, but it’s difficult for anyone working in the pub or club trade at the moment so we’d welcome the injection of new members.” The RAFA began in 1929, while the foundations of the present structure were laid in the early 1940s, so that when

demobilisation began in 1945 the Association was able to cope with the situation. Welfare officers, employment

officials and legal advisers were appointed both at national headquarters and at branch level.

Newsfile Drunken rage A MAN flew into a drunken rage when he believed his former girlfriend had a new man in her flat. Barry Phillip Turner, 36, of Brighton Road in Rhyl, went into a pizza shop, took a knife with a seven-inch blade, and went back out on the street threatening to kill him. Mold Crown Court was told he was seen kicking street furniture in a drunken rage and disposed of the knife in a car park before the police arrived. Turner admitted possessing a blade in public, theft of the knife and criminal damage following the incident on November 24. Judge Philip Hughes gave him an eightmonth prison sentence suspended for two years and placed him on supervision for a year. Turner was ordered to do 300 hours unpaid work in the community and for the next six months he must remain indoors between 8pm and 6am under a curfew order. Nicholas Williams, defending, said Turner did not brandish the knife towards anybody and he had the good sense to get rid of it. “He was angry and very upset, but he got rid of the knife before he did anything with it,” said Mr Williams.

Recycle water award

A PRESTATYN primary school has been awarded for its environmentally friendly efforts to save the use of water. A state-of-the-art harvesting system has been introduced at Ysgol Clawdd Offa, as part of the sustainability elements of the school’s design and a water recycling system from Hydro International has been installed to save the water. It is estimated that as much as 1,260,000 litres of water will be saved each year due to the installation of a rainwater harvesting system. The system recycles rainwater collected from almost 2,500 square metres of pitched roof, filters the water and pumps it into the school toilets, providing an estimated 90% of the flushing needs. Recycled rainwater for use in the school toilets is stored in a 150,000 litre tank. Any surplus water not stored for reuse in the school toilets is directed to a 240-cubic metre tank before it is discharged. This tank is located under the school playing field and it also provides a system for surface water from the school car park to run into the water drainage system, as well as for surface water from the school’s new access road and drop-off area. The school has been awarded with a certificate from Hydro International for its environmentally friendly efforts.

Stolen champagne PROLIFIC shoplifter David Archer told police he had carried the bottle of bubbly hidden down his trousers from his home 18 miles away. But it was still chilled, which confirmed he had stolen it from a cabinet at the M&S store at Llandudno. Archer, 53, of Crescent Road in Rhyl, was jailed for 28 days after he admitted the theft of the champagne and also another bottle discovered beneath the front seat of a police car. It was his 299th offence and his solicitor Alex Fitzgerald said it was estimated he had served the equivalent of two life sentences. He was now receiving help from the probation service to try to change his lifestyle. John Wylde, prosecuting, said Archer was spotted taking champagne from the store’s chill cabinet and putting it down his trousers. He told police he had travelled from Rhyl and put the bottle down his trousers because it was more comfortable. Court chairman David Davies told Archer: “It is a shame you are abusing the care that the agencies are trying to give you. Probation and other services are trying to do their best for you, finding you accommodation, but you have abused that by continuing to steal.”

UNCLAIMED: Station assistant Tracey Wright with two stolen bikes which have not been claimed.

OFFICERS and staff at Rhyl Police Station are keen to reunite a number of push bikes which have been handed in to the found property store. Although there are nearly 100 cycles reported stolen in Rhyl and surrounding areas each year, it is thought many more go unreported, many can be seen abandoned in bushes or on street corners. A substantial number of the recovered cycles are taken by officers to Rhyl Police Station, where they are recorded, stored and eventually sent off to auction after becoming unclaimed. Whilst at the station, officers look for identifying marks such as UV post-coded, Smart Water forensic marks or punched/engraving marks. Virtually all the bikes have no identification whatsoever and are stored until they are sold at auction. Most of the unclaimed bikes are in good condition, many are virtually new; officers are at a loss to understand why they have not been reported lost or stolen. Station assistant Tracey Wright said: “I have

worked for North Wales Police for 13 years and I have responsibility of all the found property that we have handed in to our station. “We hold two auctions a year and at each of these auctions, we send a minimum of 20 mountain bikes that have been unclaimed. The majority of the bikes are in good condition and I always strive to reunite the bikes with their owners. “Anyone who has lost a bike in the area over the last few months and hasn’t reported it to the police is advised to call into Rhyl Police Station and give details to the staff there; you might be lucky and be sent home on your bike!” Denbighshire Neighbourhood Watch have arranged for a number of UV cycle marking kits to be available at the front counters of the Police Stations throughout Denbighshire. ■ If you find a bike which you believe is abandoned, either take it to your local Police Station or give them a call on 0845 607 1001 (Welsh Language) or 0845 607 1002 (English Language).

Firefighters warn to stay warm but safe By JUSTINE BAILEY

FOLLOWING the recent cold spell in Denbighshire, North Wales Fire and Rescue Service has issued a timely warning to residents to stay warm but safe this winter.

Richard Fairhead, senior fire safety manager said: “As it gets colder it’s inevitable that we all spend more time indoors staying as cosy as possible. You might take additional measures to keep warm such as heaters, open fires and wood burning stoves but these may bring an increased risk of fire into the home. By following some simple rules you can ensure you stay safe and warm. “North Wales Fire and Rescue Service are here to help and

Rescue service issues advice for winter months

offer advice. If you are in any doubt over any fire safety issues, please do get in touch. We all want to be warm in winter, but we must avoid tragedy.” North Wales Fire and Rescue Service gives the following advice to help you reduce your fire risk this winter: ■ Always use a fire guard to protect an open fire against flying sparks and hot embers and make sure embers are under control and properly put out before you go out or go to bed. ■ Keep portable heaters away from curtains and furniture and never use them for drying clothes. Always unplug electric

heaters when you go out and go to bed. ■ Ensure that wood burning stoves are in good order with all doors and guards closing correctly. When fitting a new stove it is imperative that a qualified installer carries out the work. Make sure that chimneys are regularly swept to avoid the build up of carbon deposits within that can easily ignite and create problems in the future. Electric blankets can help you keep warm during the cold nights, but fires can be devastating with 440 injuries resulting from every 1000 fires started by an electric blanket.

Therefore, there are fire safety issues to consider: ■ Never use hot water bottles in the same bed as an electric blanket, even if the blanket is switched off. ■ Unplug blankets before you get into bed, unless they have a thermostat control for safe allnight use. ■ Don't leave electric blankets folded as this damages the internal wiring. Store them flat or rolled up instead. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service offer free home fire safety checks for all residents in the region. During a check, a member of the Service will visit your home, give fire safety hints and tips and help you to formulate a fire escape plan. ■ To register, visit www.nwalesfireservice.org.uk, e-mail cfs@nwales-fireservice.org.uk or call freephone 0800 169 1234.

OUT IN THE COLD: Headteacher of Ysgol Rhewl, near Ruthin, Tania Armstrong-Owen brands thieves who stole an oil tank from the school, callous.

Oil theft closes school A RUTHIN school was forced to close for several days last week after callous thieves stole its oil tank leaving staff and pupils without heating in a week of sub-zero temperatures. Thieves targeted the oil tank located outside Ysgol Rhewl near Ruthin sometime over the Christmas and New Year period and the lack of oil was detected when the school reopened for training purposes last Monday. It is estimated that the tank was three quarters full. As a result of the theft, the school was forced to close its doors to pupils returning after the festive break. Headteacher Tania Armstrong-Owen said: “I cannot believe how callous these people are. The oil is essential to heat up the school and what makes this crime even worse is the fact that we are experiencing the coldest snap of the winter so far and the thieves have shown a blatant disregard for the pupils and staff’s health and well-being. “As a result of the thieves’ actions we have been forced to close the school for several days and there will inevitably be a cost to the school to replace the oil. “We would ask anyone with any information about those responsible to contact the police direct.” ■ North Wales Police can be contacted on 0845 607 1001 (Welsh language line) or 0845 607 1002 (English language line) or contact your local police station.

If the fire had broken out a weekend. few hours later, while the family were Firefighters from Ruthin and Corwen were called to the property at 5.42pm on Saturday, January 10, and had to force entry into the house as the occupants were not at home. Crews used one hose reel and two sets of breathing apparatus to tackle the fire in the kitchen of the property where it is believed the fire was caused by clothes being left to dry on a wood burner. The fire caused 100% fire damage to the clothing involved, 10% fire damage to the kitchen and 20% smoke damage to the house. The next door neighbours were alerted when they heard the smoke detector’s alarm sounding through the wall, and contacted the fire and rescue service.

I cannot overemphasise the importance of having working smoke detectors fitted in your home. “The fire appears to have been caused by clothing being left to dry on the Rayburn. With the cold and damp weather at the moment, people may be tempted to use heating devices to try and dry their washing – but as we have seen here, this can be extremely dangerous. “Please do not place clothing to dry on portable or storage heaters, draped over guards on gas or open fires or on Rayburns – it is very easy for the radiated heat from theses devices to cause the clothes to go on fire, or for material to block essential venting areas and cause them to malfunction. “North Wales Fire and Rescue Service

Chief of learning DENBIGHSHIRE County Council have appointed a new Corporate Director for Lifelong Learning. Hywyn Williams, who is originally from Aberdaron but now lives in Ruthin, is currently Chief Learning and Achievement Officer at Wrexham County Borough Council. His previous roles include being the Head of School Improvement and Inclusion at Wrexham County Borough Council, Deputy and Acting Headteacher at Ysgol Morgan Llwyd, Wrexham and a teacher at Ysgol Dyffryn Conwy, Llanrwst and Ysgol y Creuddyn, Llandudno. Leader of Denbighshire, Councillor Hugh Evans, who is also the Cabinet lead member for Education, said: “We are delighted that Hywyn will be joining us in Denbighshire. He has a wealth of experience in education and will be a great asset to the council as we continue our journey of improvement and implementing the action plan produced following the Estyn inspection. “We also look forward to welcoming him to the Corporate Executive team to work in all areas of work relating to the Lifelong Learning directorate.”

Formula One success predicted for Hywel A RISING young racing By JUSTINE BAILEY driver has been tipped for the top by the man who racer Antonio Pizzonia and Le guided Lewis Hamilton to Mans 24 Hours winner Guy his first racing successes. Smith. John Booth, of Sheffieldbased Manor Motorsport, reckons 23-year-old Hywel Lloyd from Corwen can go all the way – and that means to the glamorous world of Formula One. And he should know – Manor, the most successful team in Formula Renault, is one of the premier nurseries of F1 talent and Booth is one of the most respected figures in British motorsport. His school numbers among its old boys modern-day motor racing greats like world champion Lewis Hamilton and his predecessor, 2007 champ Kimi Raikkonen as well as former F1

Recently-crowned F1 champ Hamilton was the Formula Renault UK champion in 2003 driving for Manor. Booth took a look at Lloyd recently over two days at South Wales circuit Pembrey and was so impressed he asked him to do some work for Manor and also took him over to Valencia just before Christmas for some warm weather testing. He said: “We were so impressed with Hywel that we have asked him back to do some R and D for us for next season. “I don’t think next season’s Formula Three International Class will be too much of a

problem for him. “I think he has the potential to go all the way.” The four days Lloyd and his CF Racing team spent at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia will have cemented that impression, according to Lloyd’s father and team manager Harry who said: “We’re really grateful to Manor for giving us the chance to go over to Spain. “It went very well for us but there was no sightseeing – just hard work with Hywel doing about 900 miles round the circuit. “We were working from 6.30 in the morning to 10 at night and what impressed everyone was Hywel’s fitness – I didn’t think he would last four days. John Booth agreed and said: “Hywel is an intelligent lad and

circuit and hopefully the work we’ve done will stand us in good stead for next season.” ■ For details on Hywel and CF Racing, visit his brand new website www.hywellloyd.com

A MOTORBIKE erupted into a ball of flames in Rhyl last Tuesday. Smoke billowed from the burning vehicle after its carburettor backfired just after 11.45am in Westbourne Avenue, Rhyl. The machine was destroyed. Firefighters took just 10 minutes to control the blaze. Fire crews from Rhyl used a hose reel jet while the Highways Agency helped manage traffic in the area to keep the public safe. A North Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: “The fire was caused by a backfire in the carburettor.”

Greener resolution

DENBIGHSHIRE County Council is encouraging the county’s residents to make a resolution to reduce, reuse and recycle in 2009. Homes across the county are recycling at a record level – 33% of all household waste is now being either recycled or composted, but with landfill taxes and other costs increasing, Denbighshire is calling on all residents to go greener over the next 12 months. The post-Christmas period is an excellent time to look at things with a fresh, greener perspective. Don’t just throw away any unwanted gifts. Charity shops will take good quality unwanted goods or perhaps family or friends could make use of them. Another good option is to try the Freecycle network. Freecycle groups match people who have things they want to dispose of with people who can use them.

Safe theft trial A FATHER and son accused of stealing a safe from a Rhyl store must face trial at Mold crown court. Brian Shatwell, 48, of Rhydwen Drive, and his son Karl, 25, of the same address, appeared before Prestatyn magistrates charged with stealing the safe containing £2,000 from the Milletts shop in High Street on December 22. Both denied the offence and the magistrates declined jurisdiction on the grounds that their powers of sentencing were insufficient. The cases were adjourned until March 4 for committal proceedings. Prosecutor Justin Espie told the court that two other men believed to have been involved in the raid had been identified but were still being sought.

Make friends and have fun exercising

Keep fit the nordic way By JUSTINE BAILEY

THE latest outdoor fitness craze has come to Denbighshire! – Denbighshire Countryside Services are now offering free taster sessions for nordic walking.

Nordic walking was originally a summer training method for crosscountry skiers in the 1930s. The use of poles ensures a complete body workout, burning up to 20% more calories than walking. It is one of the fastest-growing recreational fitness activities across the world, with participants in nearly 40 countries. Katrina Day, Let’s Walk Denbighshire Coordinator said, “Nordic walking is a fun way to get fit! It is suitable for all age groups, including those with some mobility problems. Although walking is a great way to exercise, nordic walking allows you to achieve more with the use of walking poles, strengthening your muscles and burning even more calories.” Research has proven that nordic walking improves upper body strength and uses 90% of your body

FACTS ABOUT NORDIC WALKING ■ Exercises 90% of your muscles. ■ Burns 20% more calories than ordinary walking at the same speed. ■ A higher heart rate is achieved compared to ordinary walking. ■ Exercise more with less effort. ■ Reduces the load on your knees and other joints. ■ Can reduce tension in the neck and shoulder muscles. ■ Can reduce back pain and improve spinal mobility. ■ Strengthens the bones of the lower and upper body, combating the effect of osteoporosis. muscle mass (running uses 70% and swimming only 35%). It burns body fat and tones arms, chest, back, shoulders, abdomen, hips, bottom and thighs. So if you’re pinching an inch or two after the recent festivities and want to get some fresh air, meet new people and have a go at a new and different leisure activity in Denbighshire, contact Katrina Day or Toni Proffitt on 01745 356197 for more details. justine.bailey@northwalesnews.co.uk

A RHUDDLAN man who admitted breaching an AntiSocial Behaviour Order for the third time has been returned to prison. Magistrates in Prestatyn heard that Nicholas Barrett, 22, of Cwybr Cottages, was made subject of a two-year ASBO in March 2007, and had already served one prison sentence for breaching it. Prosecutor Justin Espie said that on January 4 police officers found Barrett drunk in Isfryn Road, Meliden, when one of the terms of the ASBO was that he should not be found drunk in a public area. Barrett was jailed for eight weeks and also ordered to serve 34 days of his unexpired sentence, the periods to run consecutively.

Climate issues in class CLIMATE change and green issues were on the timetable for students at Ysgol Brynhyfryd, Ruthin at a recent event attended by Denbighshire County Council. Students learnt about the different international policies applied worldwide and in the United Kingdom to curb Carbon Dioxide emissions and the earth’s environmental decay in recent years. The presentation also focused on the policies undertaken by Denbighshire County Council to reduce climate change and the need to apply effective and sustainable environmental policies. Students later raised questions about green issues and expressed their concern for the increasing climate change threat and the solutions that might be taken to prevent the situation from escalating.

Cold closes town library PRESTATYN Library was closed last Wednesday due to problems with heating in the building. Denbighshire County Council would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

A closer look at life in Africa By JUSTINE BAILEY

N award-winning documentary photographer will launch a series of exhibitions at venues throughout Denbighshire this month.

Paul Kelly, who completed his studies in Newport and Cardiff, is showing off his work at Rhuddlan Library, Rhyl Arts Centre and Denbigh Library. His exhibition at Rhuddlan, launched on Saturday, January 10 will run until February 21, and is from a body of photographic work he produced whilst travelling in West Africa. Titled The final stages of the world’s oldest disease, the exhibition is made up of a collection of images taken from one of the last leprosariums in West Africa. With commitment and assistance from international drug companies, and crossnational governmental bodies, the World Health Organisation (WHO) expects this curable, pre-biblical disease, leprosy, to be eradicated by 2010. One six-month course of universally-free treatment will cure, but not reverse, the effects of leprosy. Paul’s exhibitions at Denbigh No Negative – Just Positive, opening January 17, and Rhyl (One Goal) are also from a body of photographic work he produced while travelling in West Africa.

FAREWELL: Hot Chocolate singer Errol Brown will be coming to Rhyl next month during his last ever tour.

FORTY years after the formation of the legendary group Hot Chocolate, frontman and writer of the hit songs, Errol Brown, will embark upon his farewell tour performing 21 UK dates in February – one of them being at Rhyl’s Pavilion Theatre. Brown, who received an MBE for services to music in 2003, has not performed in the UK for four years. The singer, whose hit It Started with a Kiss was voted one of the top 20 love songs of all time, said: “I’m doing this for my very loyal fans as I have been touched by their dedication all of my career. As a thank you I will be performing all the hits, including You Sexy Thing, which reignited Brown’s popularity following its use in the hit movie The Full Monty, Everyone’s a Winner, So You Win Again and of course, It Started With a Kiss. Errol Brown’s career was launched in 1969 when John Lennon heard his reggae version of Give Peace a Chance, loved it and released it on Apple Records. This event marked the creation of Hot Chocolate, with whom he sang until 1985. Hot Chocolate achieved more than 30 hit singles, including 14 top 10s. Brown left the band in 1985 and has since embarked on several successful solo tours of the UK. He was also won an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contributions to British Music in 2004. Brown will be in Rhyl on February 1. Tickets, £22.50 no concessions, are available from the box office on 01745 330000, or www.pavilion-theatre-rhyl.co.uk

David Toyne was the speaker who really wetted members’ appetites and keenness in choosing this year’s vegetables. There were many tips to help, from using wattle screens as protection but allowing ventilation, and emphasising the need for plenty of fertiliser on the soil. Many gardens do not get enough water, which needs to be to a depth of six inches. Bill Rutterford took the chair. The competition was a garden limerick and was won by Jean Hardman with Martin James second and Janet James third.

■ BOXING: JOSH Taylor has been a committed boxer at Denbigh ABC for over two years in which time he has shaped up well – so there was much interest in his recent debut contest. Some boxers are great in the gym but go to pieces under the pressure of a bout – not Taylor. The Denbigh prospect won a unanimous decision over Kyle Wilson of St John’s ABC, Manchester, on Llay ABC’s show at the British Legion. Boxers who travel all the way from Manchester do not just come to see the scenery, so the Vale of Clwyd camp knew Wilson would be tough. In the first round the Mancunian charged out punching with both hands but Taylor stood his ground, kept his boxing together and won the session. The second round was tougher as Wilson set out to grind Taylor down by volume of punches and strength. But the Welshman performed like a experienced boxer, making it hard to believe it was his first contest. He refused to be drawn into a slugfest, weathered the storm and probably shared the round. Everything depended on the third and Taylor came into his own and outboxed Wilson who had expended a lot of energy in the previous two. Towards the end of the round Taylor was so in command Wilson did well to last the distance. Taylor claimed a deserved verdict and earned the nickname of The Tiger. “He showed courage, discipline, strength and maturity beyond his years and could have a real future in this, the hardest of all sports, boxing,” said Denbigh coach Sparrow Harrison. ■ ATHLETICS: THREE local talents all scooped medals in the North Wales Indoor Athletic Championships at Deeside on Saturday. In the under-20 women’s 60m, Hannah Pendlebury of Rhyl picked up gold in a time of 7.80 and in the U20 men over the same distance, Jack Gronow of St Asaph also took gold in 7.40. Jack McDonald of Rhyl claimed silvers in the 60m hurdles (9.60) and long jump (5.46m), both personal bests, in the under-17 men section. All three athletes will now compete at the Welsh Championships in Cardiff next month. ■ HOCKEY: RHYL Ladies firsts hockey team produced their best performance of the season in a 5-1 victory over Northop Hall, Jess Haywood netting a hat-trick, Hannah Bateman and Lucy Edwards one apiece. Bottom of North Wales Division Three Rhyl 2nds secured a superb 3-3 draw with table toppers Porthmadog, Danielle Frost bagging a brace and Anna

Dylan gears up for a vital year in the saddle A WELSH rider with real promise finished in the top 10 of the best under-14 cyclo-cross riders in the UK at the weekend at the British Championships at Peel Park, Bradford. St Asaph’s Dylan Kerfoot-Robson (Rhos-OnSea CC) is only 12 years of age and so has another year to go in this category, a crucial one for entry to the Olympic pathway in all disciplines of cycle sport.

His eighth place in frosty conditions in Yorkshire, as well as his other successes on the track and road, bode well for 2009 and beyond. His brother Sol, a frequent winner this winter, was also in action. Determined to ride in the U10s event despite picking up the winter vomiting sickness that seems to be so common at the moment, finished in the middle of the large

field of riders. The pair’s last event of the season is the British Schools Championships in a couple of weeks. The recent first joint event of Rhyl CC/VC Melyd’s new time-trial season, the New Year’s Day nine-mile at Denbigh, saw the latter club’s Alan Overson win with a scorching time of 23 minutes 57 seconds in freezing conditions.

ONE of a cricket club’s leading figureheads has decided to step down.

Mark Thomas has resigned as president of Prestatyn CC and will be replaced by Keith Robson, executive manager of Presthaven Sands holiday park. Mr Thomas and his family have been generous sponsors of the club for over 15 years and the departing president’s son Danny is a leading batsman for the first team. News of the change was revealed at the club’s annual meeting and in a letter Mark Thomas said: “I feel personally I have gone as far as I can and feel the club now needs a new direction that I am unable to commit to. “Over the last few years I have watched the club grow, not only on the field but also off it, resulting in us playing in the Liverpool Competition Premier Division. “This has been a marvellous achievement by all concerned and long may it continue, but I must voice my concerns regarding Prestatyn Cricket Club. “I feel that apart from a handful of people, there is not enough commitment from existing members. To take the club forward there has to be a joint effort from the management team and club members.” Club chairman Haydn Owen commented on a 2008 season which saw Prestatyn play at the highest level in its 108-year history. “We did very well to finish a creditable ninth in the Premier Division,” he said. “The quality of opposition pushed many of our players to another level of cricket with some outstanding performances putting Prestatyn CC firmly on the cricketing map. “At the start of the season we would have settled for ninth, however with a bit more belief, luck and most of all experience of playing cricket at that level, finishing a couple of places higher would have been a fairer reflection on our season. “My only concern is we finished bottom of the fair play league which we will address.”

STEPPING DOWN: Mark Thomas (right) with former chairman Tony Young and inset Prestatyn CC’s latest president Keith Robson. ZZTM220406Spons-1.jpg

New man at the top for ambitious club Mr Owen praised improvements already carried out at Beach Close but also spoke of the need to further upgrade facilities at the ground with vice-chair Tony Young working tirelessly to secure grant aid to refurbish the clubhouse. “The accounts for the year show that without generous sponsorship the club could not survive playing in the

Premier League. “Running a club the size of Prestatyn is difficult. We are a small fish in a big pool and last season we were fighting above our weight. “The club not only needs financial support, but it also needs more hands on decks to do the considerable amount of work off the field essential to the smooth running of the club.

“We need to recruit new members especially those from the business community, whose expertise we can use to ensure financial stability.” ■ Winter nets for juniors: Commence Sunday, January 25, at Y Morfa Leisure Centre, Kinmel Bay. Ages five to 13, 9am-10.30am; under-15s and senior players, 10.30am to 12.30pm.

39 ■ RUNNING: THERE will be a three-line whip for members of Prestatyn Running Club on Saturday as their men’s team fight for an immediate return to division one of the Grand Prix Express North Wales Cross-Country League. Members have shown terrific team spirit in recent months in crosscountry and road competitions and it is hoped another solid performance at Wrexham this weekend will help clinch promotion. With just two races left they currently lie second but face tough competition from Bangor University, who lead by only seven points. Prestatyn’s ladies, meanwhile, are comfortably placed in mid-table of division two, but could be down in numbers this Saturday because some regulars are taking part in Sunday’s Four Villages Half-Marathon. Gordon Jones, who has led the team home on road and country recently, has, not surprisingly, extended his lead at the top of the club’s Grand Prix. Current placings: Gordon Jones 182 points from 12 races, George Nicholls 161/17, Glenda Davies 149/12, Jo McDonough 124/11, George Nixon 122/10, Matt Sims 117/12, Brenda Tiedtke 108/9, Paul Brandrick 85/12, Steve Hatfield 84/12, Des Davies 82/12, Chris Kelly 70/7, Gill Brandrick 67/9, Eleri Goddard 64/9, Tracy Colligan 60/7, Arwel Jones 60/10, Martin Cortvriend 57/6, Gareth Hughes 55/7, Helen Baxandall 55/9, Dean Longley 41/7, Gareth Brandrick 39/6, Gareth Bailey 39/7, Dave Henley 30/6, David A Jones 30/6. Remaining races in the Grand Prix are the cross-country fixtures in Wrexham and Oswestry, the Borders League fixtures at Ellesmere Port and Deeside, Twin Piers 10k and Village Bakery halfmarathon. ■ FOOTBALL: LLANDYRNOG United manager Neil Davies has signed striker Sion T Roberts from Cymru Alliance neighbours Ruthin Town. Bottom side United hope Roberts will add strength and pace to the attack and grab a few goals in the process. The new signing scored against Llandyrnog for Ruthin in the Boxing Day fixture so he knows how to find the net at Cae Nant. Roberts could make his debut in Saturday’s clash at title-chasing Holyhead Hotspur.

Town look to strengthen WPL squad

Champion Webster slips up but the Ted the Count bites back

PRESTATYN TOWN FC NEWS SEEKING to strengthen his squad in a determined quest to preserve the club’s Welsh Premier status, Prestatyn Town manager Neil Gibson has been in talks with two former Rhyl stars this week. Striker Andy Moran and left-sided defender/midfielder Stuart Graves were both transfer targets for the Seasiders as the Visitor went to press. Moran, 29, is the Lilywhites’ all-time record marksman in the WPL with 99 goals, but since leaving Belle Vue 12 months ago has struggled to make an impact for Colwyn Bay and Fleetwood Town, who have just released him. Versatile Graves, 28, played in 162 WPL matches for Rhyl between 2000-08 before joining Bradford Park Avenue. He has also worn the colours of TNS, Southport, Poulton Vics and Tranmere Rovers. “I know them both from my days with them at Tranmere,” said Gibson on Monday night. “I’ve talked with them, but know they have both received several other offers so it’s a case of waiting.” Gibson was also due to watch a very promising central midfielder in action for Wrexham youth this week with a view to bringing him to Bastion Road. Meanwhile, Town will be itching for a return to combat this Friday night when they are due to visit lowly NEWI Cefn Druids (kick-off 7.30pm). This is the sort of fixture the Seasiders will be targeting to gain their first away league victory of the campaign, but Gibson is aware Druids can be very effective on their day. “They’ve changed the way they play and recently had a very good result (4-3 win) at Rhyl, but in our two games against them in the last couple of seasons we’ve done well,” he said. “We go there confident of getting a result.” Player manager Gibson is expected to be available following a bout of flu, but the game will probably come too soon for injury victims Ross Hannen, Jon FisherCooke and Steve Hoult. Goalkeeper Jon Dunt will serve a onematch suspension following his red card at Rhyl on December 27 meaning regular reserves custodian Ben Rowley gets his chance. ■ Prestatyn’s home game against TNS last Friday was all set to go ahead before a sudden drastic drop in temperatures made the ground rock-hard, leaving referee Kevin Parry with no option but to rule a late postponement. TWIN TARGETS: Prestatyn Town boss Neil Gibson has been attempting to sign former Lilywhites heroes Andy Moran and Stuart Graves (seen here celebrating a goal in their Rhyl days) this week. zz060206cefndruids-2.jpg

KING COUNT: Ted Hankey.

THE darting pride of Denbighshire lost his world title last week, but there was still a strong local connection when the 2009 BDO champion was crowned on Sunday. Denbigh’s Mark Webster, the 2008 tournament winner at the Lakeside, was hammered 4-0 by 2001 titlist John Walton in the second round of this year’s competition last Wednesday. But Webster’s successor to the throne Ted “The Count” Hankey, 7-6 conqueror of Tony O’Shea in Sunday’s epic final, is a former resident of Rhyl. Now based in Telford, Hankey was living in the North Wales resort when he last lifted the world crown in 2000 and used to

play his darts for the Royal Victoria in Prestatyn. A troubled and out-of-form Hankey nearly packed in the game last year after an inglorious exit at the Lakeside, but helped by fellow pros he pulled himself together and the end result was the BDO title. For Webster, meanwhile, it was only disappointment. The Denbigh plumber’s form has dipped in the 12 months since he achieved Frimley Green glory and he was well beaten by an inspired Walton. “It just did not happen,” said Webster after the match. “I thought I could make it 1-1 but knew after the second set that it was not going to happen tonight.”

NOT THIS YEAR: Mark Webster.

NEW FACES IN TO BOLSTER TITLE BID By DAVE JONES

NO stone will be left unturned as Rhyl bid to build a squad equipped to win the 2008/09 Welsh Premier League title, says the club’s director of football.

Jamie Digwood promised Belle Vue will be a hive of activity during the January transfer window with two new faces already added and others to follow. The Lilywhites have already brought in a number of top class ex-Football League pros this term and the reward has been leadership of the WPL going into 2009 – but the club will not rest on its laurels. “We have been working 24:7 on new signings; we will have more players coming in over the next few days and also throughout the window,” said Digwood. “We are only looking at players who will improve the squad and we are scouring Wales, England and overseas. “We are striving to improve the club on and off the pitch. Joe Furnival (secretary), Dave Milner (MD), Allan Bickerstaff (senior coach) and myself are in discussions every hour, as we all have one clear aim this season and that is the Welsh Premier League title. “The players are working hard and the atmosphere at the club is better than I have ever known it. We have some top class players here and any additions are under no illusions that joining a club like Rhyl will only mean they will be fighting to get into an already successful team.” Following the capture of left-sided specialist Luke Holden from Bradford Park Avenue, the Lilies have brought in goalkeeper Michael Jones on a season-long loan from Northwich Vic-

Jones, 21, spent four seasons at Wrexham but made only nine first team appearances for the Racecourse club before being released in May 2008 and joining Vics. It is believed the transfer of midfielder Luke Sherbon from Aberystwyth Town is also imminent and another major signing for the Lilywhites could be announced this week.

Online for latest news. Having not played since December 27 due to frozen grounds, Rhyl will be hoping to return to action this Saturday at home to Porthmadog (2.30pm). The clubs have met 19 times since the WPL’s inception and the Lilywhites lead by 10 wins to six with three draws. Rhyl have won the last five meetings between the teams at Belle Vue. Bickerstaff, a former assistant manager at Porthmadog, will be keen to see his side maintain top spot, but the

Lilies will need to be wary of a Traeth team much improved this season and boasting in Marc Lloyd Williams still one of the deadliest finishers around at this level. ■ The Rhyl v Llanrug United North Wales Coast Challenge Cup tie, which was postponed last week, now takes place next Tuesday, January 20, at 7.30pm. Also rearranged is the Prestatyn Town v Rhyl Welsh Premier clash, which will now be staged on Easter Monday, April 13, at 2.30pm.
