Motorcycle show success for HaverHub

Published

on

A SUCCESSFUL Pembrokeshire Vintage and Classic Motorcycle Club Show was held at HaverHub, Haverfordwest last Saturday (Apr 28). Over 70 bikes were exhibited and the town centre was a hive of activity with bikes and spectators alike.

The PVCMC were delighted with the response from Haverfordwest town and Gitti Coats from HaverHub said: “We are delighted with the turnout of motorcycles and spectators on such a wonderful sunny day. We are grateful for the PVCMC for their support of our premises.”

Now in its fifth year, the show, which was previously held successfully on Milford Haven Marina, took place at the old Post Office in Quay Street, Haverfordwest, between 10am and 4pm. West Wales Aqua Blasting were also in attendance to answer any questions regarding vapour, bead or sand blasting for the classic car or motorcyclist.

By providing refreshments, the RNLI Hakin Point Branch raised nearly £400, in aid of the RNLI and the local station in particular, Angle Lifeboat RNLI. Also a certificate of appreciation and thanks was presented, by the branch’s Committee Chairperson Pam Mott, to Mr and Mrs Peter Stock for their sterling fundraising work they have both done and continue to do.

The Pembrokeshire Vintage and Classic Motorcycle Club now have 160 members this year and the club is developing into a diverse array of motorcycles, heavily featuring vintage and classic bikes as witnessed on Saturday. They said how they were delighted to see so many young people amongst their membership.

Members enjoy a breakfast meet every week, with the next big event being the Saundersfoot Motorcycle Time Trial on June 9. The club have their own beer for the event from Caffle Brewery in Llawhaden. Chris Bannister is one of the members and the club are very happy that Chris organised their own label for the event. Competitions on the day included Furthest Travelled, Best Classic, Best Military, Best Vintage, Best Two Stroke and Best in Show.

The club thanked the Treasurer Glyn Garland for organising the event, as well as the helpers and marshalls, the ladies from the RNLI Hakin Point Branch, all the stall holders for their support once again and to Gitti and the team at HaverHub for the great venue.

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.
