'Blackwood's sporting future looks bright'
The recent Blackwood Beach Party drew more than 5,500 visitors to the town. The event was funded by Blackwood Town Council and organised by Caerphilly County Borough Council. The success of the event can be measured in that it attracted 2,000 more visitors than the previous weekend. It resulted in the second busiest day of the year in the town. We all know that the ease and attractiveness of online shopping can have a negative impact on physical retail. Yet, the importance of our shared spaces is integral to our sense of community that. Blackwood's sporting future looks bright. I was delighted to see the South Wales Argus cover Blackwood Primary School's annual sports presentation. Ninety-seven pupils were recognised from years three to six who have represented the school in competitions throughout the academic year. It was great to see the school become champions of the entire South East Wales cricket finals organised by Cricket Wales. Let's hope that one day some of these talented youngsters may have the opportunity of playing regional representative cricket and, who knows, even for Wales' professional cricket team, Glamorgan. I was delighted to sponsor at the Senedd a celebration of Welsh creativity. Curated under the theme "Create It", TEDx Bute Street 2025 showcased an exceptional roster of individuals shaping the future of activism, arts, technology, and cultural discourse. The selection process, overseen by a distinguished judging panel - Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, Matthew Hyde, and Chris J Birch - was a rigorous journey through compelling stories and pioneering thought, ultimately culminating in an unmissable line up of Welsh visionaries. Ken Skates has announced that from September 2025 bus fares will be capped for £1 for 16 to 21 year olds, while the £1 cap will come in place in November for five to 15 year olds. Sixteen to 21-year-olds will need to apply for a free mytravelpass, if they don't currently have one, and are able to do so now. More information on how the scheme will work is available at mytravelpass - Caerphilly County Borough Council announced the official opening of a new dual use 3G all-weather pitch at Risca School and Leisure Centre, funded by the Welsh Government's Community Focused Schools capital grant programme. Situated on an education and community campus, the new facility will benefit pupils at Risca Community Comprehensive School during the day and serve the wider community during evenings and weekends.

Wales manager hikes Snowdon on her own at dawn to deliver historic announcement
Wales manager hikes Snowdon on her own at dawn to deliver historic announcement Wales boss Rhian Wilkinson just decided she was going to head up herself on that very morning. Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson climbed the mountain to deliver her press conference (Image: FAW ) Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson scaled Yr Wyddfa on her own ahead of the squad announcement for Euro 2025. With the European Championships just over two weeks away, Wilkinson announced her 23-player collective from Eryri National Park, and more specifically - the summit of the highest peak. The press, along with the FAW media team, Rhiannon Roberts and Olivia Clark took the train to the top, but Wales boss Wilkinson decided she would go one better and climb the mountain herself at the crack of dawn. For everyone else, it was a 7.30am departure from Llanberis train station, a one hour journey in total, ready for the announcement at 9am from Hafod Eryri - the epic viewpoint atop the mountain. For Wilkinson though, she was already there at 7.15am, book in hand and welcomed by a truly glorious north Walian morning - and it took her only 90 minutes. Having visited Eryri National Park on multiple occasions as a child, she has fond memories of the area, which reminds her of her late father. Her parents spent their honeymoon there and a ceremony was held at Yr Wyddfa following his passing. For Wales, the location of the announcement was a symbolisation of the recent ascent of Welsh women's football, making it to their first ever major tournament. Article continues below Wilkinson's solo journey may have presented an opportunity to truly reflect on the recent success of the team, shortly before the media storm began. However, with such a busy schedule, it was a welcome change of pace in the chaos, so she put on a political podcast and got moving. The Wales squad announcement was made in a unique way. (Image: FAW ) It was a stunning day in the national park. (Image: FAW ) "I actually debated whether I was going to listen to something," she began. "I feel ready. I'm excited, but not over-excited. I know I'll be nervous, I know the team will be nervous, but I'm not overwhelmed by it. "With this walk, I knew it was going to be special but I didn't realise how many people were going to be here. I think it's fantastic. "I just caught up on things because it's been a really heavy week. We had a training camp last week, this week. I had a Senedd event on Tuesday. On Monday we were finalising gameplans. "My days have been so long. It's just been nice, more than anything, to just walk on my own and not think about the the tournament. "Just listening to political podcasts and catching up on the news, because I've been out of it! The same stuff and unfortunately... Trump!" Article continues below Angharad James will skipper her country in Switzerland, and is one of four centurions named, alongside Jess Fishlock, Hayley Ladd and Sophie Ingle. Ingle makes her return after missing the entire season with a serious knee injury, which she sustained while playing for Chelsea in a pre-season friendly last September.
