SENEDD Member, Paul Davies, has taken part in Haverfordwest County AFC’s walk for the Prostate United Challenge.

Mr Davies, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022, walked just over 3km with first team player and Haverfordwest County Academy Technical Lead, Dan Hawkins and they talked about importance of the Prostate United Challenge.

The Prostate United Challenge encourages football clubs and fans to walk, run or cycle every day in October in an effort to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK.

Mr Davies said: “I’m grateful to Haverfordwest County for inviting me to join the Prostate United Challenge walk. It’s a cause that’s close to my heart and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to take part.

“1 in 8 men get prostate cancer and I’m one of them. Initiatives like the Prostate United Challenge are a great way of showing support for those living with prostate cancer and help raise much-needed funds for Prostate Cancer UK.

“It was also great to see the progress being made on the 3G pitch, which is currently being constructed and I look forward to home games returning to the Ogi Bridge Meadow Stadium soon.”

JOIN PEMBROKE & Monkton Local History Society on Saturday November 2nd in Pembroke Town Hall for a fascinating talk by distinguished Tudor author Nathen Amin, who will be introducing his latest book ‘Son of Prophesy: the Rise of Henry Tudor’.

Born in Pembroke Castle, Henry VII has a special interest here, his statue standing proud on Pembroke Mill Bridge. Good news also, that work on the proposed Henry Tudor Centre has now recommenced and will hopefully become a reality in the spring of 2026.

It is fitting, and long overdue, that Pembroke should have a Centre dedicated to Henry Tudor. As England’s most celebrated royal dynasty, it’s often overlooked that the Tudors have their origins in rural Wales, far from the urban centres of English power where they dared to become great.  When Henry Tudor won the English crown by defeating Richard III in battle, he was a stranger to the people he now ruled, an ‘unknown Welshman’ in the words of his defeated foe. In his native Wales, however, Henry had long been championed as the Son of Prophecy, a foretold national messiah who would free his oppressed people from their lengthy misery. How had this remarkable situation come about?

In this lucid and riveting account, Nathen Amin deftly explores how this redoubtable Welsh family thrived during lean years of political chaos, national instability, and inter-generational bloodshed to leave behind a complex legacy that changed the face of England and Wales forever. It is a passionately told tale of treachery, cunning, love, and heartbreak. From Penmynydd to Bosworth, this is the enthralling, action-packed story of the Tudors, but not as you know it.

Nathen Amin is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and an experienced public speaker, having presented talks on the Beauforts, Wars of the Roses, and Henry VII, for more than fifty societies and book festivals.  He has also featured on British, Australian and German radio and television, as well as in print and online media across the UK. There will be an opportunity for book signing following the talk.

Doors open at 10am for coffee and an opportunity to visit the Museum and Council Chamber, which are situated on the first floor of the Town Hall – a lift is available for disabled access. Everyone is welcome to attend  (you do not have to be a member) and entry is free.

IN a scene straight out of a soap opera, a quiet corner of Milford Haven has been rocked by scandal, handwritten letters, and nocturnal “banging” this week.

It all began in Observatory Avenue, Milford Haven, where an anonymous resident, who we’ll call Mrs X, received a cryptic letter accusing them of some rather, ahem, lively nighttime activities. However, there’s a twist in this juicy tale – the accused insists they live alone with only their dog for company!

“I was shocked! Allegations of late-night banging and… er… ‘activities’? That’s simply not true,” stated the bewildered resident on Milford Haven Community Watch’s Facebook page, where drama often unfolds with more twists than a daytime TV special.

The online sleuths of the group wasted no time in jumping into action. First up was local resident Sophi Forrest, who took on the role of unofficial detective. “Allegations of what?” she inquired, sparking a flurry of responses. It soon emerged that the accusations centred around suspicious night-time noises of an ahem “adult” nature.

“I live alone with my dog, and I’m always as quiet as a mouse,” our anonymous friend insisted. “It’s really upsetting me!” Another twist? “I don’t even have a headboard on my bed!” The plot thickens.

But Sophi, ever the pragmatist, had a sensible suggestion: “Do any of your neighbours have a Ring doorbell?” Not quite Sherlock Holmes, but it’s a modern take on the classic ‘whodunnit’ approach. Unfortunately, the trail soon ran cold, and the resident confessed to being too anxious to knock on doors and resolve the matter face-to-face. Anxiety, after all, is no friend to a midnight sleuth.

Not one to miss a chance for humour, another resident, Mike Stannett, chimed in with some sage advice: “Just turn ur TV down when ur watching it,” complete with a cheeky wink. Apparently, in Observatory Avenue, the line between Netflix and “chill” may have gotten a little too blurred for some.

But the mystery persists. With no clear evidence of late-night shenanigans and an empty bed frame to back it up, the origin of the hand-delivered note remains a riddle. Was it a prank? A case of mistaken identity? Or is there a mischievous phantom bed-banger haunting Observatory Avenue?

As the speculation continues, the resident remains resolute. “I’m always quiet and think of my neighbours,” they insisted, determined to clear their name from this scandalous saga.

If anything, Milford Haven has proven that even the quietest corners of town can deliver drama worthy of the front page. Meanwhile, locals are left scratching their heads (and perhaps double-checking their headboards) as the case of the midnight mystery unfolds.
