Snowdonia Society's Conservation Volunteers are planning to bang the drum against plastic carrier bags and so
are arranging a couple of dates to coincide with National Volunteer week, 1-7 June.
Wednesday 4th June 2008 - 10 to 4 at Capel Curig Community Centre: With as many sewing machines as we can muster, as
much old fabric as we can
gather - by this I mean, unwanted curtains, bedding and upholstery fabric, or
clothes if they can be easily converted - we will be making up a variety
of fabric reusable shopping bags.

Interviews at Badminton following the dressage phase on Friday
First Melanie Wilder, a true amateur rider from Llandovery
Melanie
comments, "I am really thrilled with him because he can be very excitable and
tense in the dressage and he can often canter through most of his trot work.
Today though he was really relaxed, he made couple of mistakes but I am really
not worried about them I am just really pleased with him he didn't blow. He was
on the leg, really enjoying himself. Normally he just seems to rush through
like he wants to get the whole thing over and done with. I was so nervous about
getting out there, I haven't watched anybody I haven't been into the grandstand
- I just didn't know what it was going to be like when I walked out there, but
it was brilliant I really enjoyed it. It's a great atmosphere. I did expect him
to be nervous. He started off a little bit tense and he broke in his first
movement, but he got quite a lot of 8's and I am thrilled with his first 4*
test. To be getting lots of 8's and a good mark we got good marks at the end,
60.7 penalties, so I'm pleased."

The legacy of the small mixed farm
that was once the backbone of agriculture in Wales lives on in the smallholder
movement, said Dr Fred Slater, Director of the Royal Welsh Smallholder and
Garden Festival, which opens on May 17 for two days at Llanelwedd, Builth
Wells.
It is not in modern parlance a retro trend harking
back to the past but a way of life at the cutting edge of 21st
century living, he said in a message to visitors expected at the Festival which
last year attracted a record attendance of 25,558 people.

Stars from all corners of
the globe and the outer reaches of the galaxy will be travelling through space and
time to appear alongside Bryn Terfel at this year's Faenol Festival on August
22-25 this year.
Announcing
this year's line up, Bryn Terfel said: "This
year, our artists are truly out of this world! It's a superb line up of
glittering stars, absolute leaders in their field. Boyzone are sure to ignite
the Festival fire on Friday night, and the opera gala is going to be a real
powerhouse with stunning voices and of course the wonderful Welsh National
Opera Orchestra. Not sure where we'll park the Tardis, but John Barrowman and
Daniel Boys will be very welcome here and I'm sure that fans from all corners
of the globe or even the universe will be queuing up for tickets to see this
time lord perform. I'm looking forward to it immensely and I'm sure our audiences
will too."
