The first printing of Bleddyn sold out super quickly.

We were blown away by the interest in the story of 15 heroes 70 years ago.

If you missed out the first time round, dont worry we have copies of the second print run available.

A remarkable story but was 'football' (i.e. soccer) ever one of the sports played by Newport Athletic Club? In the 19th century and even beyond, 'Newport Football Club' invariably meant the rugby club.

You probably haven’t heard much about Jeff Aston from Cardiff…

At almost 80 - he’s 1 of only 6 people alive today who have run every single London Marathon - known as an “ever present”.

I feel like he should have more coverage because he’s an absolute legend 🙌🏻

We were hugely saddened to hear the news of the death of Professor Chris Williams. This wonderful tribute has been written by his friend and colleague, Professor Dai Smith FLSW.

Cool to see David Allen and Sal Carter on Antiques Roadshow tonight with some of the club’s collection.

A proper public display facility is absolutely crucial in any development of the Arms Park, the history is incredible.

Springtime beneath Wenlock Edge - this is Harley, one of the so-called Thankful Villages, which saw all its men return home from WW1. It is the only Thankful Village in  , and the names of all 20 men who went to war and came back again are recorded in St Mary’s Church.

What a day. Quins beat Fairwater RFC at Llandaff RFC 16-12.

That was the semi-final so we’re off to the Principality Stadium on the 6th of April for the WRU Community Div 3 cup final.

Kick off at 330.

And well done to Quins Girls Rugby for their finals today. Won 1 Lost 1
