Milford Waterfront supporting Powerboat racing teams

Pembrokeshire Panther: In the water for the first time

AS WELL as being the new venue for the upcoming P1 Welsh Grand Prix of the Sea in July, Milford Waterfront is a keen supporter of two teams in the 2017 P1 SuperStock Championship.

The Pembrokeshire Panther, raced by the Milford Waterfront team unveiled their livery in Milford Haven on Friday (May 26).

This racing team is new for the 2017 season and replaces the Visit Wales boat in the P1 SuperStock UK line up. The Pembrokeshire Panther will be representing Milford Waterfront in all 4 races in the UK races. Experienced racers Andy Foster and Charles Morris will be the driver and navigator, respectively. They will be looking to give the boat’s home crowd something to cheer when the series travels to Milford Haven in round three of the 2017 season.

Coleman Racing is also representing Milford Waterfront this season and they are definitely a team to watch out for.  Pembrokeshire-born Powerboat P1 World Champions Sam and Daisy Coleman qualified with the quickest lap by a hundredth of a second and then went on to win both of the 45 minute heats and the 60 minute grand finale in Mumbai, India earlier this year.

Since then, the brother and sister team have been involved in testing their boat on the water in Milford Haven, and being ambassadors for the Welsh stage of the championship coming to Pembrokeshire for the first time. The reigning champions are set for an exciting season.

Coleman Racing: Testing at Milford Waterfront

“Plans for the spectator experience at Milford Waterfront are taking shape”, said Neil Jenkins, Destination Director for the Port of Milford Haven.

“Entry to the premium viewing area on Mackerel Quay where you will find big screen coverage, music and entertainment, exclusively-Welsh dining options and access to the P1 Race Village, is £10 for adults and FREE for children under 12.  It is definitely an event not to be missed.”

Ticketed areas are outside of Nelson Quay and therefore will not affect pedestrian access to any of the businesses at Milford Waterfront over the weekend. The porty much hope the event will result in an uplift in local trading and would encourage all businesses in the area to consider putting on something special to entice visitors into their shop.

Fire service delivers vital kit to Ukraine

Wales joins UK’s largest firefighting aid convoy

MID and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (MAWWFRS) has taken part in the UK’s largest ever convoy delivering vital firefighting equipment to Ukraine, joining 17 other Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) from across the country.

The convoy, coordinated by FIRE AID and supported by the UK Government, left the UK in early April. It travelled through France, Germany and Poland, delivering over 30 fire service vehicles and more than 15,000 items of equipment to support Ukrainian firefighters on the front line of the ongoing war.

Since the Russian invasion in 2022, UK fire services have donated 119 vehicles and over 200,000 pieces of equipment to Ukraine. Each participating service ensured local needs were met before donating surplus kit.

Watch Manager Rob Kershaw represented MAWWFRS on the convoy. He said:
“It’s been a privilege to be part of this convoy and to represent both FIRE AID and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
We received invaluable support and assistance from fire and police services across every country we passed through. Their help in coordinating, escorting, and hosting the convoy was outstanding.”

Chief Fire Officer Roger Thomas KFSM added:
“MAWWFRS is proud to support our colleagues in Ukraine by donating and delivering essential equipment.
The events in Ukraine have deeply affected the fire and rescue community, and this convoy is a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to helping those still working under extreme conditions.”

The donated equipment will support firefighters in Ukraine who continue to operate in war zones to save lives and protect property—often at great personal risk. Since the conflict began, 100 Ukrainian firefighters have been killed and 431 injured. A total of 411 fire stations and 1,700 firefighting vehicles have been destroyed.
