Haverfordwest court

A 19-YEAR-OLD man who failed to comply with the requirements of his youth rehabilitation order was dealt with at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Monday. Daniel Thomas Fairlie of The Maudlins, Tenby admitted the breach to the court. Probation officer, Julie Norman said: “Fairlie was given a community order at the youth court after being sentenced for supply of cannabis.

Problems started to arise in August where he began missing appointments and said it was due to working long hours in his new job at a hotel. He attended probation with his father afterwards and it became apparent he had said he was working when he wasn’t. He has completed all 120 hours of his unpaid work and the order is due to end in December.”

Defence solicitor, Jamie Subbiani said: “He was offered a job so he signed off from benefits. On his first day, he arrived and there was another employee there who was known to him who had issues working with him, and was saying ‘I’m not working here if he’s working here’, so Fairlie was asked to leave. The breach is his fault and he should have attended. Alcohol was an issue in the past but it now is not. He hasn’t had a drink since christmas last year.” Magistrates said: “You’ve done 120 hours already, which is good progress”, and imposed an extra 20 hours of unpaid work, but let the order continue.

THE TOWERING figure of Chewbacca made a grand first time entry to Pembrokeshire on Bank Holiday Monday, starring in the second Falcon Fun Day at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre.

The famous Star Wars character joined other re-enactors, including Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and Luke Skywalker, posing for countless photographs with the many hundreds of visitors who flocked to the centre in bright sunshine.

Starring inside the centre was R2-D2, the legendary droid from the Star Wars films. Re-enactors, from the 501st UK Garrison costuming group, travelled from across Wales and as far away as Milton Keynes to join in an event which is already becoming a firm favourite for Star Wars fans of all ages from a very wide area.
The Heritage Centre features a permanent exhibition telling the story of how the ‘Millennium Falcon’ spaceship was built in secret in a former RAF hangar in the 1970s for the Star Wars film ‘The Empire Strikes Back’.

Mark Williams, leader of the Falcon project, said: “The lightsaber training proved very popular all day and the virtual reality experience was a huge success. We are grateful to all the visitors for their support and patience as there were, at times, long queues. We shall be back again next year.”
