A cafe with a difference

Published

12 years ago

on

cafe with a differenceTHESE days a lot of things are wasted, people, skills and mountains of food.

Transition Fishguard has taken all of these and turned them into a vibrant central cafe. A derelict shop on the main A487 was provided by the Coop next door, and after heroic efforts to find the money and equipment the volunteers managed to pass the regulations with flying colours and open the kitchen and cafe in June last year.

It has been running successfully ever since. Although only open three days a week it saves an average of 100 kg of food each week and in addition has saved over 10 tons of carbon from the atmosphere.

For this is a cafe with a difference, it uses surplus produce and food, diverting them from going to waste. The cooks never know what their ingredients will be, so they have to get very creative and flexible.

A farmer could walk in with a sack of organic potatoes, or a delicatessen with a box of oriental spices and relishes, or a local gardener with an armful of rhubarb, or a housekeeper with the GOFs from BOGOFs – the Get one Free offers.

But now the cafe is under pressure from customers to expand its days of opening. For this it needs more volunteers, whether cooks, waiters, servers or washers up.

Volunteers range from top quality cooks with years of experience to people like Mim (pictured) who had his youth cut short by a horrific road accident in which he was blameless. He brings skills but his body takes a lot of effort to function effectively. Happily the cafe is the ideal place for all skills and speeds to be valued.

Anyone interested in joining the motley crew to sing, cook, wash up, sweep or tell jokes, should get in touch. Prepare to eat amazing food from our undiscovered talented cooks, using mystery recipes from ingredients that nearly got away.

Phone Chris Samra on 01348 831021 to join the fun and see the cafe hours grow.

Tenby lifeboats launched to two separate kayak incidents

Published

4 hours ago

on

July 13, 2026

By

RNLI crews were called to Pendine and Amroth within minutes of each other on a busy Sunday afternoon

BOTH of Tenby’s lifeboats were launched on Sunday afternoon following separate reports involving kayakers along the Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire coastline.

The all-weather lifeboat was requested shortly before 4.30pm on July 12 after RNLI lifeguards at Pendine raised concerns about a kayaker who had left the beach earlier in the afternoon but had not returned.

The kayak could no longer be seen from the shore, prompting Tenby’s volunteer crew to launch and make their way towards the area.

As the lifeboat arrived, the Coastguard received a call from the kayaker confirming they were safe and well at Morfa Bychan beach and did not require assistance.

The crew was stood down from the search but was immediately redirected to assist Tenby’s inshore lifeboat with a second incident off Amroth.

The inshore lifeboat had been launched after a member of the public dialled 999 and reported seeing a kayaker who appeared to be waving between Amroth and Monkstone.

A local fishing vessel, which had heard the Coastguard broadcast asking nearby boats to look out for the kayak, located the man before the lifeboats arrived.

The inshore lifeboat was soon alongside, where the kayaker confirmed he had been fishing and was not in difficulty.

Both the inshore and all-weather lifeboats were then stood down and returned safely to Tenby.

Dr Kate Roberts, Chief Executive of Cadw, said: “Summer is the perfect time for families to step outside and explore Wales’ incredible heritage, and our events programme makes those visits even more memorable.

“Whether it’s stepping into the shoes of medieval characters, discovering ancient traditions or simply spending time together in remarkable settings, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, with free child entry for adult members, it’s a fantastic way to make lasting memories over the school holidays.”

Letterston Fun Week raises more than £2,500 in memory of Mabli

Published

LETTERSTON came together for a packed week of entertainment, sport and community spirit, raising more than £2,500 in memory of local girl Mabli.

Letterston Fun Week featured a treasure hunt, bingo, pool, junior football, men’s and ladies’ darts, a quiz night and children’s disco, before concluding with a hugely successful Fun Day.

Organiser Tim Evans thanked the volunteers, performers, sponsors and residents who helped make the week possible, describing the support received at every event as “incredible”.

The Fun Day began with a chicken wing challenge, won by Shaun McVey of Letterston, before young singers Arthur, Mila, Etta and Nancie from Ysgol Ger y Llan took to the stage alongside Cassidy from Tonna.

They were followed by dancers from the Lowri Jones School of Dance, who performed in front of a packed field.

Live music came from Chrissy D and Steve Bartram, while children were entertained by Crazy Clayton.

As the evening continued, the Fishguard and Goodwick Rugby Club Choir delivered what organisers described as an outstanding performance.

Local band Roccanna then took to the stage, led by Letterston’s own Tristan Mansell, before headline act Forever Elton brought the celebrations to a close with a tribute to the music of Elton John.

Tim said: “This year has been a challenging one to organise, with plenty of obstacles along the way, but seeing the whole week come together so successfully made every bit of hard work worthwhile.

“To every volunteer who helped set up, sold raffle tickets and programmes, marshalled events, cleared away afterwards or simply stepped in wherever needed, I honestly could not be prouder.

“You worked your socks off to give Letterston an event to be proud of, and I cannot thank you enough.”

More than £2,500 has already been raised, with organisers expecting the final total to increase as the remaining proceeds are counted.

Fun Week is held each year in memory of Mabli, whose life continues to be celebrated by the Letterston community.

Paying tribute, Tim added: “Rob, Gwen and all the family, it is a privilege for us to organise this event each year and create a day where Mabli’s life can be celebrated by the whole community.

“We send you all our love and look forward to doing it all again next year.”

Organisers thanked everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, performed, sponsored or supported the events.

Letterston Fun Day will return on Saturday, July 17, 2027.
