Free transport for P1 Welsh Grand Prix of the Sea spectators


P1 Powerboat Championship: Coming to Milford Haven
FREE TRANSPORT is being provided for the thousands of visitors expected to descend on Milford Haven for the P1 Welsh Grand Prix of the Sea on July 15-16.
Nine teams are currently competing in the P1 Superstock Championship series including two Pembrokeshire teams – Coleman Racing and Milford Waterfront.
There are four UK events, with Milford Waterfront claiming a victory last weekend in Greenock. Alongside the powerboat races, there will be a P1 AquaX series in which amateur and pro personal watercraft riders are invited to compete.
Although there will be no public event parking at Milford Waterfront, free buses will be provided over the weekend to ensure that visitors and local residents can travel with ease.
VIP ticket holders will be able to park at the Pill Social Centre and use the park and ride service to the race village, while premium ticket holders can park at Milford Haven School.
A shuttle bus will be operating around the town centre, Hakin and Hubberston throughout the weekend, enabling people to get on and off when and wherever they want.
In preparation for the P1 Welsh Grand Prix of the Sea, volunteers from Keep Wales Tidy will be carrying out litter picks around prime viewing areas on Thursday, July 13 and throughout the weekend to ensure the area is looking its best for attendees.
The event is also being broadcast to a global television audience so it is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the Milford Haven Waterway to tens of thousands of people.
Tickets are still available to book at www.milfordwaterfront.co.uk/p1
If any businesses or community organisations in the area are holding events over July 15-16, they can promote it on the Milford Waterfront website. Please email info@milfordwaterfront.co.uk with the details.

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.
