Gamlins Law directors climbed North Africa's highest peak
Ron Davison, managing director of Gamlins Law, and fellow director Dafydd Roberts, scaled Mount Toubkal in Morocco's Atlas Mountains in aid of the firm's nominated charity partner St Kentigern Hospice.
Combined with Ron's running of the London Marathon in April, it means the pair have now raised almost £2,000 for St Asaph-based St Kentigern.

Ron and Dafydd were part of a 10-strong group that took on the climb to the 4,167m (13,671 ft) peak. Last year, they climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania raising more than £3,500 for Prostate Cancer UK and LawCare, the mental health charity for the legal sector.
Dafydd said: "The whole trip was a great experience from spending time with the local Berber community through to the final ascent itself which saw us reach the summit an hour or so after sunrise.

"We encountered lots of different weather during the trip from really warm to ice and snow as we approached the summit to torrential rain and hailstones when we were coming down the mountain. Coping with the high altitude also provided a challenge.
"Experiencing life with the Berber community, with their villages set in the mountainside, was also something we won't forget, including an evening eating with our guide's family in their home.
"It was also humbling to see how the communities are continuing to rebuild after a devastating earthquake caused so much destruction a couple of years ago.

"Either side of the climb, we were fortunate to spend time in Marrakesh, including a trip into the Sahara Desert. On our final night we even bumped into the chef Tom Kerridge who was in Marrakesh on holiday!"
Dafydd added: "We are delighted to raise further vital funds towards the work of St Kentigern Hospice. The team at the hospice made a video for us wishing us good luck and that certainly helped to spur us on.
"We've got further climbs planned in the UK for later this year and are already plotting another trip abroad, possibly to the Alps or Himalayas next year."

Ex-Rangers security man says club "shocked" as former Union Bears capo becomes gangland kingpin
The Rangers insider has revealed the respect Ross McGill was afforded by everyone within the club before his departure in 2021. An ex-Rangers security man says the club has been left stunned after former Union Bears capo Ross McGill was unmasked as the gangland kingpin orchestrating violent turf wars in Scotland. Dubai-based McGill, 31, gained notoriety after he launched a relentless campaign of terror against Edinburgh mob boss Mark Richardson and Glasgow's Daniel crime clan after he was ripped off in a £500k cocaine deal paid for with fake bank notes earlier this year. But the ex-Light Blues employee said McGill was so well-respected during his time as ultras boss that he enjoyed a privileged statu s where he "trusted more than staff" and given access to all areas - even restricted zones on match days. The man, who has asked not to be named over fears for his safety, told the Record: "Everyone at Rangers was completely shocked when it was revealed McGill is the man behind this gang war in Edinburgh and Glasgow. "We are talking about a guy who was given access to the stadium any time he wanted and was permitted into restricted zones on match days. "He was trusted by the club more than most of the security staff and was respected by the players, managers and directors. "Nobody could have had even the slightest idea about his life of crime. We were led to believe that he ran his own business. "But it did seem strange that he just walked away from the club after being such a central figure for a number of years." McGill joined the Union Bears aged 14 and helped out with setting up displays - but by the time he left in 2021 - he was the group's leader with thousands of ultras under his command. The ex-staff member went on to explain that McGill's relationship with the club was built on his tight grip on his leadership of the group. He continued: "I watched McGill lead the Union Bears and I have insight into his activities inside Ibrox. "They fell under his control and was he quick to resolve any incidents that occurred. "Since he left, the relationship between the group club has never been the same. They have been out of control since his departure." An underworld source told the Record McGill began to build a drugs empire after building up connections with other crooks while travelling across Scotland with the Union Bears. However, he was forced to flee the country after thousands of dealers were arrested following the Encrochat messaging service being cracked in 2020, exposing his crimes and leading to a warrant being issued for his arrest. He moved to Malaga and then went on to Dubai, where he built up new connections with global cartel bosses and found himself with access to massive quantities of cocaine. After he was ripped off by Richardson's crew in the cocaine deal earlier this year, McGill created a fearless new group, Tamo Junto (TMJ), to carry out a series of chilling attacks on his rivals using weapons and firebombs. Underworld contacts told the Record the hood leaned on his experience as Union Bears capo to command control of his violent army. One source said: "McGill is running TMJ in almost exactly the same way he used to run the Union Bears. "He has hundreds of crooks under his and doesn't know most of them personally. "It was the same at the Union Bears, he controlled the group from the top and pulled the strings while barking out orders. "He knows how to command loyalty and organise a large group of footsoldiers and knows how to strike fear into people. "People think he must be backed by someone bigger, but McGill is a lone wolf and used to running his own organisation. Scotland's gang war erupted in March with a series of firebombings as McGill initially went after homes and businesses linked to Edinburgh cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson. The following month the feud moved on to Glasgow as the TMJ gang went after Richardson's associates from the Daniel clan. Tamo Junto have claimed credit for the attacks in a series of unsettling video clips. Following a recent attack at a property in Tranent in East Lothian, McGill's gang boasted they have targeted more than 40 people in a wave of infernos and machete attacks in the past four months. Among the most shocking incidents, Richardson's crony David McMillan was targeted three times by the gang. His house at Pitcairn Grove was torched on April 17 while children were believed to be asleep inside the property. On May 8, thugs targeted the house and set a white SUV vehicle on fire outside the property. Two weeks later McMillan was set upon with machetes by four thugs outside his house but a security guard he had employed came to his rescue. Senior members of the Daniel clan were also targeted, including head of the family Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel. TMJ released footage of a firebombing attack at his home on John Marshall Drive in Bishopbriggs on April 14. His uncle Norman's house at the nearby Colston Road was torched on the same night. A property registered to Bonzo's mum, Annette, was targeted when bulletproof windows were smashed on April 19. The widow of Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll had her house in Drumchapel Road attacked on May 17. An underworld source told the Record that Kelly 'Bo' Green's youngest child was at home at the time of the incident. TMJ warned that their vendetta against the Daniel and Richardson gangs will continue "for many years to come" despite Police Scotland making 50 arrests so far in their Operation Portaledge probe into the gang war.

Airbnb owner forced to tear down 40ft-high ‘monstrous prison camp watchtower' after furious neighbours complained
The holiday let was purchased by a Sheffield-based property owner two years ago HOUSE THAT Airbnb owner forced to tear down 40ft-high 'monstrous prison camp watchtower' after furious neighbours complained Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN Airbnb owner has been ordered to tear down a massive 40ft-high "prison-camp watchtower" after furious neighbours complained. The "monstrous" structure was built at the £5,000-a-week holiday let in Rhos-on-Sea, North Wales, without planning permission. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A structure built in the garden of an Airbnb let has been likened to a 'prison-camp watchtower' by angry neighbours Credit: Nick Whitmore/Daily Post Wales 2 It was built without planning permission leaving locals fuming Credit: Nick Whitmore/Daily Post Wales And fuming locals nearby say the eyesore addition is disturbing their day-to-day lives in a seaside town. Planning permission for the towering "garden room" was turned down last year. And neighbours are celebrating after another bid has now also been rejected by officials who say the tower must be removed. Nearby neighbour Nick Whitmore, 35, who lives with his partner and three young children said their "dream home" had been marred by the platform and cabin. Nick said: "It's advertised on Airbnb year-round, bringing noise, light pollution, and worse. "The impact on my partner, our three children, and our neighbours is horrendous. "The structure dominates our house and garden, as well as our neighbours'. It looks into my daughter's bedroom. He added: "We are a local, hard-working family with three children under the age of 10. "My partner and I worked very, very hard to buy our dream home, just up the road from the children's school, various public parks, with a bedroom for each of our children, and a nice garden for them to enjoy. "This has now been taken away from us as we back onto a busy Airbnb and, since Jan 2024, a building site." Eyesore scaffolding forced me to flog pints for £2.70 - it's decimated my trade The holiday let was purchased by a Sheffield-based property owner in December 2023. Neighbours reported the structure to the council and JAM Domestic Properties Ltd submitted a planning application - which was refused. The owners had described the 'breathtaking' £700,000 four-bedroom property as 'the epitome of luxury'. Nick said: "We alerted Conwy council who asked the company to stop work. "They did, and submitted a retrospective planning application, which was refused in June 2024 after numerous neighbour objections. "With no appeal by the 16 December 2024 deadline, we thought the council would follow through and move to enforce their own refusal. "We assumed relief was near. Instead, two weeks ago, earlier in March 2025, the owner submitted a near-identical planning application. "We've now endured over 15 months of this situation, with Conwy sitting on their hands while local families and residents suffer daily." Families living next-door are furious at the13m high 'concrete plateau' giving clear views into their properties and blighting their lives. Work on the tower - which would provide panoramic views of the village and neighbouring Penrhyn Bay - began last year, only to be paused when a planning application was turned down. The holiday rental - called Gardd y Llys - is a contemporary property in one of the most upmarket residential areas of Rhos-on-Sea. 'OVERBEARING' Neighbours Stephen and Hazel Walburn also wrote a letter of objection to the council. "The cabin is 13m above our main living area and certainly feels to us to be out of character and overbearing," they wrote. "Its scale and appearance are unlike other garden buildings in the area. It fails to enhance the local environment, commanding attention not unlike a prison camp watchtower." They added: "It dominates the roofscape and is alien and incongruous." Conwy council said: "An enforcement notice has been served which requires the removal of the structure." The notice was served on 17 June and the developer has been given 10 weeks from that date to launch an appeal. The application by JAM Domestic Properties read: "Views from the raised platform into neighbouring properties were recognised as being available from the initial planning consent. "The proposed development is not considered to lead to an acceptable increase to this and is not considered to have a detrimental impact on privacy or residential amenity to neighbouring properties, and therefore would be acceptable on this basis." A Conwy Council spokeswoman previously said: "Planning permission was granted in 2016 for a smaller garden structure on this site. "In February 2024, it was brought to our attention that a larger outbuilding was being constructed. "Following an investigation by the planning enforcement officer, the owners agreed to cease work and to submit a planning application to regularise the work.

William Howard School finish top four at National Table Cricket finals
The Brampton-based school battled through three regional rounds to earn a trip to London, with pupils and staff setting off the day before their big event at the Home of Cricket. They progressed past the group stage to earn a fourth-place finish out of the 12 teams in action, and teacher Tracey Croucher was thrilled with a memorable day for her students. 'We have been doing it for about ten years, this is our fourth time coming to Lord's. It's a massive achievement to get here, it is about enjoying it and doing the best you can,' she said. 'These children have come along for extra practices after school. It has brought together children from different year groups, all with different needs.' Table cricket is a fully inclusive, adapted version of the game aimed at young people living with a wide range of learning and physical disabilities played on a table tennis table. Teams of six compete to avoid fielders and hit specific scoring zones while the ball is bowled using a ramp. The Lord's Taverners runs its national competition each year, with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) schools from across the country taking part. The sport provides opportunities for participants to benefit from all that sport can offer, something Croucher has seen first-hand. 'It means a lot to them,' she added. 'They relax when they come to practice, they get a feeling of achievement and success that they might not get elsewhere in sport. 'We've seen a massive difference in confidence. To be able to come here for them is amazing.' Pupils also met cricketing legends David Gower and Mike Gatting and were presented with their medals by current England bowler Reece Topley. It made the journey down from Cumbria all the more worth it, with many pupils visiting London for the first time. 'It was a very long journey,' said Croucher. 'We came down yesterday and got to London about three o'clock and went to Hyde Park. We had a lovely walk and a paddle. It was really nice to have everyone together as a team. 'When they found out they had qualified for the final, they were just over the moon and shouting 'We're going to London!' 'For quite a few of them, it's their first time in London so they were spotting the red buses, the black cabs and taking loads of photos.' For the first time in the competition's history, National Finals Day took place as part of Disability Cricket Day, the biggest ever one-off showcase of disability cricket hosted by the MCC, ECB and Lord's Taverners which saw all formats of disability cricket on display from grassroots to elite level. The day was brought to a close by the first ever international disability cricket fixture on the main ground at Lord's, the third of a seven-match Vitality IT20 Mixed disability series between England and India. 'I saw table cricket for the first time a few years ago now and coming to the final here at Lord's today, you are struck immediately by the competitiveness, the keenness and the camaraderie,' said Gower, who serves as president of the Lord's Taverners. 'Everyone's spirits are high and it's fantastic to see people getting everything they want from the game, who, as we know, wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity. Events like this are hugely important. 'The players are all so good, and they are all having immense fun. The atmosphere is just vibrant, and I love being a figurehead for Tavs, especially on days like today.' The Lord's Taverners impacts the lives of young people facing the challenges of inequality. The charity works across the UK and beyond to provide inclusive and impactful cricket programmes, empowering young people with disabilities and from disadvantaged communities – visit
