Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
In November 2005 whilst home recovering from an operation I decided to try and design a web page for White Springs Fisheries in Pontarddulais I added an info page on the fishery website page, but as I got more and more involved in community projects, I decided to start this blog in order to keep my community activities and involvement seperate to the fishing. You can email me with comments at slloydjanes@aol.com
Info about me
I am involved in the Llanelli CAB
I am the current secretary of the Hendy Pool and Parks Committee
I am also a member of the Pontarddulais and Hendy District Carnival Committee. Which will be celebrating its 40th year this year.
I have been a member of USDAW since 1989 and I am the Llanelli Usdaw Union Branch Secretary, I have done a lot of campaigning with Usdaw and I often appear in the quarterly magazine that gets published and sent to Usdaw Members, here's just one example
I have also been Hendy community councillor on Llanedi Community Council since 2004 and as a councillor, I also represent the council as a member of the Hendy School Govenoring Body.
The contents of this site is written and published by Stephen Lloyd-Janes of Iscoed Road Hendy who will be a Labour and Co-op candidate for the local County Council elections on May 1st 2008
Today I went to strim around the edge of my lawn and I suddenly realised i had left my strimmer up Amandas.
I've also got a megga busy week again this week and i've just sent my appologies to two organisations and meetings, as i can't attend, due to other engagements and meetings. One of the meetings is for the Llanelli Citizen's Asvice and the other was with the consultants for the pool.
On top of several meetings that i can attend, we've also got 1,000 leaflets to distribute this week to every household in the village, which we were starting tommorrow.
The above photo was taken during the Air Ambulance fund raising event held at the Red Lion and features on the front page of the news letter being delivered, there's also details about other events and community meetings taking place over the next few weeks, and our survey's that we've commissioned are inside the news letter.
One of these surveys is collecting info about residents concerns around the post code row, the other is being conducted by the Scouts and is aimed at youth facilities, this second survey is really important, as the Scouts have won lottery funding as its their 100th year, and if there is a favourable response to this survey and it shows the need, the scouting movement might choose pontarddulais and hendy as one of their target areas to spend some of their grant to improve faclities in the community.
The Scouts will also have a second survey, that the schools will be helping to complete with yougsters views, the results of these surveys will also be shared with the hendy pool feasibility and business study
So please complete and return to one of your local post offices
Just spoke to Amanda as i was working on this entry and she said she would fetch my strimmer with her on Sunday, so i wouldn't be able to have an exuse, of not mowing my lawn. There's no piece for the wicked
Who knows if i win the lottery tonight maybe i will then afford to employ a gardener or better still give up work
