The ladies of Cosheston WI provided a delicious selection of cakes to accompany tea or coffee, making a profit of £490 which was entirely donated by them to Breast Cancer Care Charity. Music was provided by “One Voice Choir”, who performed a selection of songs from around the world, and later the delightful solo voice of young Lucy Jones. An energetic rounders tournament was enjoyed by mixed-age teams, and children found many other amusements like face-painting, colouring tables, boules and juggling equipment. An hour of classical excerpts was provided by “Penfro Minstrels” strings ensemble. The energy levels were raised again by Amber Rich leading a Zumba session and by “Arts Care” who provided a Street Dance workshop. Food was available like ice cream (kindly donated by Upton Farm), made-to-order pizzas and burgers and bacon rolls. Russ and Mel from The Brewery Inn, Cosheston providing the accompanying bar. “The Review” band then took to the stage to complete the evening in style.

A POPULAR Tenby road race has raised more than £20,000 for Paul Sartori Hospice at Home.

Runners and sponsors taking part in last year’s Tenby 10k raised £20,559.07 for the Pembrokeshire charity, which provides hospice care to people in their own homes.

The race, organised by Waterfront Community Runners, took place in October 2025 and was well supported by locals and visitors, who lined the route through the town to cheer on competitors.

Laura Hugman, Chief Executive of Paul Sartori, has now received the cheque, presented by a selection of those who took part in the event.

This year’s Tenby 10k will take place on Sunday, October 25, 2026, on a closed-road, two-lap course through the centre of Tenby.

More than 400 runners have already signed up, with entries now past 40 per cent capacity and organisers expecting the event to sell out again.

Anyone wishing to take part can enter at www.waterfrontcommunityrunners.co.uk.

All proceeds from this year’s race will again be donated to the Paul Sartori Foundation.
