RAISING FUNDS FOR THE URDD NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD AT DENBIGH

A small Committee has been formed under the Chairmanship of Mrs Meinir Jones Maesanod and they have organised two concerts at the Pavilion to raise funds

Click on the links below to show details of the two concerts

The first concert is by Alejandro Jones from the Welsh colony in Patagonia, South Argentina. This is his final gig of a Grand Tour of Wales and it is organised for September 14th at 7pm at the Rhewl Pavilion. He did spend some time in his youth working in Llysfasi and anyone who has heard him will confirm what a lovely tenor voice he possesses.

Alejandro and his family

The Second concert is by the Porthmyn Choir on Friday, September 21st at 7pm – the choir earned rave reviews following their performances at Ruthin’s Presbyterian Church and the Ruthin Flower Show; they look forward to singing on their own patch in the Pavilion

 

 Party in the Park

The Playing Field Committee would like to thank all the helpers and, of course, all the families who attended our Party in the Park on Saturday September 2nd  to raise money for the Playing Field and  Pavilion. Luckily the weather was clement  and the Committee was  satisfied that a good time was had by all.

SUMMER  LEAGUE KNOCKOUT SHIELD FINAL

Henllan beat Llanfair by 4 goals to nil at the Rhewl Playing Field; this victory earned them the double for the first time in their eighty six year history having already won the 2017 League championship. A crowd of over 600  enjoyed the performance of the outstanding Henllan team. A BBC sports News crew where there to record the event. The League vice Chairman – John Eryl Hughes, Glan Clywedog was there to welcome the BBC and later  presented the teams with their trophies.

BRENDA WINS THE GOLD MEDAL at World Transplant Games

Rhewl residents from the dim and distant past will be delighted with the news that Brenda Roberts has won another gold medal at a World Transplant Games this time in Spain to follow her success in Argentina at the last Games. Brenda qualified to take part  in these Games by having a liver transplant in 2012 – which saved her life.

Brenda was the daughter of Gomer and  Millie Roberts of Rhoslyn,  Bro Clwyd Rhewl and came from a sporting family with father Gomer, in his day, being the “Stanley Mathews” of the Summer League and  grand father Bob the Grange, Uncle Owen, Cousins Mark and Kevin being very able footballers and of course sister Wendy and Auntie Lynn who were excellent all-round sportswomen.

Brenda now lives in Ruthin and  is a keen member of Ruthin-Pwllglas Golf Club, and plays off a handicap of ten.

 OBITUARIES

Edwin Roberts

With sadness we report the death of Edwin Roberts (Ted Gables) who was brought up in Rhewl  and whose daughter Sharon, Son in law Wyn and grandaughter  Olivia live in the Ysgoldy across the road to Rhewl School. Ted was a very good footballer and played in the successful Rhewl F.C. team of the late 60’s and early 70’s.  He was instrumental in reforming the football team in 1966 when they rejoined the summer League after a break of 3 seasons.

Our condolences go out to his children and their partners – Chris and Julie, Dai and Jo, Sarah and Gareth, Sharon and Wyn and also his grandchildren – Ffion, Sion, Tom, Emily, Olivia and  the rest of his family.

The Funeral Service is to be held in St. Marcella’s Church Denbigh at 11a.m on Wednesday January 10th, 2018. Donations to the Marie Curie Cancer Care Fund.

 

William Hefin Hilditch Roberts

Very sad to report the death of Hefin – he was brought up in Llanynys, attended Rhewl School, Brynhyfryd School and the Cardiff College of Further Education. For many years he was the Senior Sports Master at the Winsford Verdin Grammar School where he met his wife-to-be Carol.

He was a stand-out character being well over 6 foot tall, a fine physique and a mop of ginger hair. Even though he lived in Cheshire most of his working life he was always glad to meet Welshmen to practice his native language.

He was an outstanding sportsman – Cross Country Champion, Excellent High Jumper, County Hammer Throwing Champion, Welsh Schools Hockey goalkeeper, A highly qualified Football Referee and in his youth  an outstanding goalkeeper who always wanted to play  Centre Forward as he did for the very successful Rhewl Football team of the late 60s and early 70s.

Our condolences go out to his brother Gareth and family and the family of his late sister Owena and of course his wife Carol and her family.

RIP

 

Piece from the Northwich Guardian about Hefin

TRIBUTES have poured in for one-of-a-kind Hefin Roberts – a well-known teacher, sportsman and referee.

Hefin, who lived in Moulton, died last week at the age of 73 after suffering a stroke, and the Guardian has been inundated with tributes to the larger-than-life character.

Hefin worked at Verdin Comprehensive School in Winsford as a biology and PE teacher from 1968, before becoming a special education teacher at Broadwalk in Salford, but was also well-known for his involvement in sport.

He played for Middlewich Athletic Football Club as a centre forward before joining Middlewich Cricket Club as a fast bowler.

Dave Parry, now chairman of Middlewich Cricket Club, knew Hefin as a teacher and a teammate and said despite Hefin not being seen at the club for some time, stories of his jokes and antics are still told on a regular basis.

Dave said: “He threw his heart and soul into everything he did and was so very popular with everybody. Everybody loved him and enjoyed his company.

“One of his tricks was to keep pouring shampoo onto your head in the shower without you knowing, when you’re trying to wash it off, and that was the kind of person he was – he had a great sense of humour.

“On behalf of the cricket club we extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends. He was an extremely popular member of the club and will be deeply missed by everybody here.”

Hefin was also a referee for amateur football around Cheshire and was the chairman of Cheshire Schools Football Association for 14 years, as well as being the CSFA Competitions Secretary responsible for collating scores in all cup competitions.

From 1985 until about 2010 he was also secretary of Mid Cheshire Schools FA, now known as Vale Royal Schools FA.

John Clark, Honorary Secretary of Cheshire Schools Football Association, said: “He was a tireless worker for schools’ football and took on a multitude of tasks including securing venues for finals, arranging referees, securing sponsorship, running raffles, attending county matches across the North of England, making speeches at finals, chairing meetings, helping in the changing rooms, organising post-match refreshments, and all this on a purely voluntary basis.

“He was a true unsung hero whose commitment was second to none and who was always passionate about schools’ football.

“He was absolutely, totally committed to schools’ football and loved his job. We used to run a competition against German teams and when they came over here, Hefin would open up his home in Moulton to the Germans.”

Many other tributes have been made to Hefin, with Middlewich High School teacher Keith Simpson describing him as a ‘larger than life character whose smile lit up a room’.

Mr Power, head teacher of Fallibroome Academy in Macclesfield said: “Hefin was always so helpful – we are sure that so many people will be grateful for everything he has done for schools’ football in Cheshire.”

Rhewl’s own Defibrillator

Definition – an apparatus used to control heart fibrillation by application of an electric current to the chest wall or heart.

Thanks to the efforts of Merfyn Parry, his mate Huw Williams and all the contributors to the fund to help acquire a defibrillator for Rhewl – the village now has one – it is located on the  kitchen wall of the Drovers  in the car park.

 Merfyn Parry handing the defibrillator to  Rob Strang of the Drovers

Possibly the following  description of the work done by First Responders in Wales will help understand how potentially live saving these devices are :-

When a patient faces a serious emergency, every second counts for them and a simple helping hand from a Community First Responder can make a vital difference to their lives.

First Responders in Wales are volunteers who donate their spare time to attend appropriate 999 calls and provide first hand emergency care to people in their own community.

When a 999 call is made, First Responders are alerted by WAST‘s three control centres and are sent to certain types of calls the same time as an ambulance so they can provide essential care until the vehicle reaches the scene.

The volunteers are trained by the Welsh Ambulance Service to administer basic first aid skills, oxygen therapy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of a defibrillator.

GRAND RE-OPENING

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Our Pavilion

The Party to celebrate the refurbishment of the Pavilion was a big success with over 200 guests enjoying the evening. More about the entertainment on the Porthmyn option of this website. The excellent food was provided by Jennifer Studley of Llanferres – a Rhewl girl. We hope that with the new facilities it will attract many people to hold functions to help us maintain  the building and surround.

The official opening took place on Friday November 4th  when Ian Hession and Mike Denman of the Playing Field Committee were able to officially thank the many benefactors who had helped fund the project as well as local Council dignitaries . The Committee also invited ex- Committee members and partners, wherever possible, to attend. The local tradesmen who helped to extend and refurbish the Pavilion were also thanked for their work and advice. Rhewl School pupils attended and provided some entertainment.

Rhewl Football Club were  thanked for their support from day one of the Playing Field existence; the club has worked hard to raise over £30,000 towards the Pavilion and Playing Field. The local Community Council were also thanked for their financial assistance over the years.

Llanynys Community residents were also thanked  for their generous donations  to the fund  to help buy the chairs, tables and blinds.

Rebecca Cutmore’s exciting Time


Last September Rebecca joined the YWAM – Next Wave to do her Discipleship Training School (DTS) She applied last minute and to her delight and surprise she got accepted. We had two weeks to prepare for her departure, which was a day before her 18th birthday! Her journey started at Birkenhead where the ship was docked and they set sail a month later. They went down to Falmouth to get four new sails then they sailed to France, Portugal, Spain, Gibraltar and then on to Malta. The journey wasn’t an easy one as they faced storms and up to 4m high waves. Fortunately Rebecca discovered she wasn’t sea sick and took to the sailing fairly quickly and effortlessly. Each person took their turn in helming the ship, on a 4hour watch and 12 hours off. Rebecca adapted to her new life on the sea and immediately fell in love with her floating home as she calls it. They spent Christmas in Malta where the lecture phase of the school came to an end. On boxing day they went to Greece on their outreach phase. She is at present in Malta

The Tall Ship

Rough Seas

Rebecca on board

Here are some of the things that Rebecca did­ in her own words

Feeding the homeless

So  I was a part of the group that went around giving food parcels to the homeless on New Year’s Eve. This man who was lying in a doorway under a thin blanket was very frightened of us at first and was hiding. But when we approached him with the food he came out from under his blanket. We handed him a parcel and said Happy New Year and he very gratefully accepted. After we had. walked away, we really felt we had to go back to him, so we did and gave him 3 more! He was so appreciative and bewildered! Seeing him tearing into the parcel not able to wait for his food made myday. We had been able to bless him in a practical way. We had a short conversation with him then left. It was great to bless and love people in a practical way like this.

Sunday School

On Sunday mornings a few of us help out with Sunday school in the church we are staying with!). We go to the little room upstairs (where the boys sleep!) And play games, draw pictures and have a lot of fun! The kids are adorable, and many of us have become fast friends!

Outreach/Evangelism

On a particular  Friday in Thessaloniki we made a board with a mirror and set it up in the middle of the city square. We asked people to take a look in the mirror, and ask themselves the question ‘Who are you?’ When we asked people what they thought Thessaloniki needed the last week, a common answer was that Thessaloniki needs people who know who they are. We wanted to ask this question to get people thinking about their identity.

Something else exiting we are doing here is supporting a new organisation that has just started! It is called Hope Spot. They run every Saturday to provide a free fun space for youth to hang out at and play games like ping pong, uno, jungle speed, scrabble etc! A team of 5 of us go each time to help out

The Porthmyn Choir being impressed with what Rebecca has done agreed to donate a £100 towards her costs of venturing on such a adventure. More  good news is that YWAM have offered her a permanent job on the ship she sailed on.
