Dream come true for young Welsh mascot at international game

IN a heartwarming display of sportsmanship and national pride, a young Welsh boy, Roman, aged 9, from Milford Haven, lived the dream of many as he took to the field as a mascot during the recent Wales game against Poland.
The match, which captivated audiences nationwide, saw young Roman not only taking part in the pre-game festivities but also receiving a hug and high-fives from none other than football icon Robert Lewandowski in the tunnel, moments that were eagerly captured on television screens across the country.
The proud parent, Ben Skudder, shared the unforgettable experience online, noting the sheer joy and excitement it brought to his son. “Dreams made,” Skudder remarked, encapsulating the magical experience that will undoubtedly remain a cherished memory for the family.
Adding to the patriotic fervor of the night, the Tenby Juniors took on the prestigious role of flag bearers, a testament to the involvement and enthusiasm of young sports enthusiasts in Wales. The sight of these young individuals, draped in the national colors, and participating so integrally in the proceedings, served as a poignant reminder of the unifying power of sport.
Roman, in a moment that tugged at the heartstrings of many, was also seen belting out the Welsh national anthem with a passion that far belied his years. This act of patriotic fervor, combined with the unique opportunity to interact with football stars like Lewandowski, highlighted a night of dreams come true not only for Roman but for all young fans watching.
Such moments serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration, reminding us of the profound impact sports can have in bringing communities together and encouraging the next generation.
For Roman and the Tenby Juniors, the night was more than just a game; it was an affirmation of their love for football and their country, a memory to be treasured for years to come.

Foreigner in My Body – Workshop and show

HOW we see ourselves isn’t always how others see us. Join movement artist Sara Hartel in a workshop that explores the tension between identity and perception here at the Torch Theatre this Wednesday followed by a work in progress show on Thursday with Foreigner in My Body.
The evening workshop will give you an opportunity to learn how to creatively use audio description in a safe, nurturing environment which gives you space to explore the role gender plays in how we move, and how others see the way we move, through the creation of a piece of movement.
The show itself, Foreigner in My Body, is a work in progress show exploring the transgender journey through the lens of crossing borders. It blends circus, physical theatre and storytelling with malicious audio description. A story of rebellion and trans joy. Think of the burlesque of airport security, the luggage carousel of emotional baggage and a plane crash on aerial silks.
The workshop will be held on Wednesday 12 February at 7pm and the show on Thursday 13 February at 7pm. Both the workshop and show are suitable for those 14+. Anyone who attends the workshop can go the performance for FREE too!
Tickets for Foreigner in My Body are priced at £5.00. Visit the website for further details on www.torchtheatre.co.uk or phone the Box Office on (01646) 695267.
