-Hello and welcome

-to Wednesday's Heno.

-We continue our seaside series

-at Pembrokeshire this evening.

-I sailed in to Newport,

-Pembrokeshire earlier...

-..but I'm now at the golf club

-that overlooks the bay.

-I'll be chatting to local characters

-and the local singer, Lowri Evans.

-The buggy is ready

-but are you ready?

-Off we go!

-Welcome to Llanelli.

-Thanks for joining us

-for our mid-week edition.

-It's Wednesday night,

-but there's no Fancy a Fortune?

-The wheel will be back on the

-first Wednesday of September.

-During the hour, we count down

-to Saturday's National Dog Day.

-A special exhibition celebrates one

-of our best writers, Waldo Williams.

-We'll meet Hanna Jones who's in the

-final of Miss Natural Beauty Wales.

-And we welcome the international

-hockey player, Ioan Wall to Heno.

-He's back from Scotland where Wales

-competed in the Euro Championships.

-Our first guest is the Chair winner

-at the Anglesey National Eisteddfod.

-It's the Chief Bard,

-Osian Rhys Jones.

-Congratulations

-on winning the Chair.

-You are the Chief Bard -

-how does the title sound?

-It was an amazing experience to win

-the Eisteddfod Chair on Anglesey.

-I didn't know what to expect.

-It was very bizarre to be the person

-standing in the Pavillion.

-I've had a great response.

-People have sent messages via text,

-Twitter and Facebook.

-I've had hundreds of messages.

-I haven't been able to reply

-to them all.

-It was an important year

-for the Eisteddfod...

-..as they marked the centenary

-of the Black Chair.

-The subject for this year's Chair

-competition was hero or heroine.

-The subject was the same

-as it was 100 years ago...

-..when Hedd Wyn

-won the Eisteddfod Chair.

-I didn't think about

-competing for the Chair...

-..but I got the idea

-during the winter.

-I thought about the Great War

-and Hedd Wyn's death.

-I'd heard that more young people die

-because of suicide...

-..as opposed to war in these days.

-It's a sign of our times.

-I wanted to think of the way Hedd

-Wyn would have thought about this.

-This was the subject of my poem.

-I left the poem open-ended.

-I didn't know

-how I was going to finish.

-I left the decision of the end

-to the character in the poem.

-I'm glad the judges agreed.

-The Chair was beautiful as well.

-It's the best Chair that has

-ever graced the Eisteddfod stage.

-I have to say that...

-..because the Chair was made

-by my friend, Rhodri Owen.

-When I heard that Rhodri

-was making the Chair...

-..I knew it was a sign.

-I kept teasing him

-that I would win the Chair...

-..but I never expected to win it.

-I live in a terraced house

-in Cardiff.

-I don't know

-where I'm going to put the Chair.

-People are welcome

-to come to my home and see it.

-Please make an appointment first!

-Thank you, Osian.

-Let's return to Yvonne

-at Newport, Pembrokeshire.

-She's at the local golf club.

-The sun is shining at the moment.

-There's a cold wind!

-I'm joined by some of the locals.

-This is one of the best views

-of Wales.

-I'm joined by Irwyn Wilcox

-who is the captain of the golf club.

-Have you got the best players at the

-club?

-I'm not one of them.

-My father told me

-to look like a golfer...

-..even if you can't play!

-I'm the captain in the new season.

-What kind of season do you expect?

-We hope to welcome friends,

-old and new.

-We welcome everyone to

-Newport, Pembrokeshire!

-The views are always incredible

-even if the game isn't the best!

-I hope to continue the fine work

-of the past.

-Earlier, I met with Richard Vaughan

-who works in the area.

-This is paradise, Richard,

-on the Parrog Beach...

-..and you work for the

-Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

-You must be in your seventh heaven

-to be working here.

-Yes, I'm very lucky

-because this is my office!

-There's a lot of visitors here but

-it was very different in the past.

-It was busy with workers as well as

-visitors but not on today's scale.

-We can see some boats and this was

-a place for building boats...

-..as well as importing

-and exporting goods.

-They imported a lot of coal and

-exported wool and sold everything.

-This particular spot is very

-historical so tell me more.

-We're close to a former lime kiln.

-The area was awash with these kilns

-as lime was scattered over the land.

-What about this little cottage?

-It's the cottage of the person

-who tended to the kiln.

-It's summer and you get a lot

-of visitors to this beach.

-Yes, and it's heaving today!

-The autumn is the best time for me

-as it's nice and quiet!

-You have the beach to yourself.

-You have the beach to yourself.

-

-Yes, myself and a few others.

-Does Parrog Beach differ

-to Newport, Pembrokeshire?

-They were separate

-but it's now part of the town...

-..but locals consider Parrog

-to be another site in the area.

-How does the Pembrokeshire

-Coast National Park differ...

-..from all the other national parks

-in Britain?

-In the 1960s and 1970s,

-when the coastal path opened...

-..it was very unique to Wales

-and one of the first coastal paths.

-There's the coast

-but also the Preseli Mountains.

-Yes, as Carningli Mountain

-is nearby.

-You could be by the sea and in

-the mountains 30 minutes later!

-What are your duties

-from day to day?

-I do a bit of everything

-and work with people of all ages...

-..to entice them to the park

-to enjoy and respect the area.

-It sounds perfect

-and a job you thoroughly enjoy.

-Which is your boat?

-Which is your boat?

-

-It's the third from the back.

-Mine is the one with hole

-so we won't get very far!

-Thank you for chatting with me,

-Richard.

-Thanks to Richard

-for his company earlier today.

-I'm joined by Irwyn's sons.

-I'm Owain.

-I'm Gethin.

-Do you play better than your Dad?

-We're better than Dad at golf.

-The youngsters have been successful.

-Yes, and we have Ffion Evans

-and Carys...

-..who have represented Wales.

-We're very proud of them.

-Back to you in the studio.

-Thank you, Yvonne.

-It's lovely there!

-After the break, we catch up with

-the hockey international, Ioan Wall.

-And we celebrate our furry

-friends on National Dog Day.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Many dog owners will be aware that

-this Saturday is National Dog Day.

-It's the perfect excuse to spoil

-your four-legged friend!

-But there is another side

-to National Dog Day.

-It also raises awareness of

-mistreated and homeless dogs.

-We visited Llys Nini RSPCA Centre in

-Swansea to hear more about the day.

-My name is Elanor and I've been

-working here for 18 months.

-Originally, Llys Nini was a animal

-centre in Singleton, Swansea.

-They moved to this location

-in 1999...

-..with the aim to rehome cats, dogs,

-birds, mice and other small animals.

-at the centre.

-Most of the animals are here as the

-owners couldn't care for them.

-Some dogs came to the centre

-as they had been abused.

-Last year,

-the centre saved 350 dogs.

-We'll celebrate National Dog Day

-on the Sunday...

-..with a Putts for Mutts Charity

-Golf and Free Family Fun Day.

-We hope to raise a lot of funds

-for the charity and for the dogs.

-Enjoy National Dog Day.

-I started playing for Swansea

-when I was eleven...

-..and joined the Under 16s team...

-..before going to play

-for the Welsh national team.

-Did you play hockey at Ysgol y Gwyr?

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's time to celebrate

-one of Wales' best writers.

-Fishguard was the home to the late,

-Waldo Williams.

-Ahead of the annual lecture by

-the Cymdeithas Waldo Society...

-..which is held on his birthday,

-a special exhibition has opened...

-..to showcase the work

-of local artists.

-"One fleeting moment

-as the sun is setting

-"One gentle moment

-as the night falls fast

-"To bring to mind

-the things that are forgotten

-"Now scattered

-in the dust of ages past."

-famous poem, Cofio or Remembering...

-..strikes a chord with all those

-who studied his work at school.

-A special exhibition in Fishguard...

-..enables us to remember this man's

-contribution to Welsh literature.

-The society

-was established seven years ago.

-We host activities based on Waldo

-both locally and across Wales.

-This year, we mark the relationship

-between DJ Williams and Waldo.

-Un Funud Fwyn or One Fleeting Moment

-is the title from the poem, Cofio.

-It's interesting how these artists

-have interpreted that title.

-There's black and white photographs

-and etchings of Waldo's poems.

-Wynne Melville Jones' painting

-is truly growing on me.

-Beneath it lies an early piece

-by Aneurin Jones of three friends...

-..namely Niclas y Glais on the left,

-DJ Williams in the centre and Waldo.

-..but Waldo is slightly separated

-from the other two.

-"Like river songs, many

-will be concealed under the trees

-"At little estuaries,

-the poets and I met

-"They sang

-where the mesh of rushes flowed."

-I started experimenting

-with wood from an old fence post.

-The marks were made by nature and

-they suited Waldo's work perfectly.

-There's an original piece

-by Tim Fudge from Scotland.

-Meirion Jones painted Waldo stooping

-within dreamlike surroundings.

-The centrepiece of the exhibition

-is a bust of Waldo...

-..commissioned by the society

-and created by John Meirion Morris.

-The main aim of the exhibition is

-to celebrate Waldo's life and work.

-He's linked to many places

-in the county in his life and work.

-Waldo was a teacher, a politician,

-a candidate for Plaid Cymru...

-..and all of his experiences

-inspired his wonderful poetry.

-He was a taskmaster

-at Ysgol Cas-mael school.

-Visitors can sit at his desk

-and think of Waldo sitting there.

-They can also read the letters

-to his friend, DJ Williams.

-The letters are interesting and

-you get to know Waldo's personality.

-He was a gentle but humorous man.

-His contribution is important.

-Waldo was a simple man,

-with a fantastic ability for poetry.

-Pop over to the exhibition

-if you're in Fishguard.

-Did you study Waldo's work?

-I studied the work of Waldo Williams

-in the Sixth Form.

-Cofio and Mewn Dau Gae

-are inspirational poems.

-They have so much to offer.

-I'm not surprised that his work

-inspires artists.

-Waldo Williams was a unique person.

-Who has joined you now, Yvonne?

-I'm now joined by members

-of the Dhogie Band.

-Lowri Evans

-is performing for us later.

-John used to teach Lowri.

-Yes, it was many years ago.

-He was a legend in the area.

-You taught French.

-We might write a song together.

-The Dhohie Band

-is celebrating 50 years.

-Yes, it's 50 years

-since the band was formed.

-We didn't have a lot of equipment.

-We were still in the Sixth Form

-at the time.

-You're the original members

-of the band.

-Do you have any highlights?

-The one that springs to mind

-was last Saturday...

-..when we celebrated

-our 50th anniversary.

-It was a great night.

-We got to see a lot of old friends.

-We got to see a lot of old friends.

-Many people have played in the band.

-You have anew CD

-to celebrate 50 years.

-It's our seventh album.

-All the songs have been written

-by members of the band.

-on the Carningli Mountain.

-My first hit was about the song.

-It's a great place.

-There's no place better

-than Newport, Pembrokeshire.

-You have been gigging

-over the summer.

-I've had a busy summer.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-We enjoy hearing from our viewers

-and Hanna Jones has been in touch.

-She's a teen finalist

-in Miss Natural Beauty Wales.

-Hanna thought she'd never have the

-confidence to enter such an event.

-Elin spoke to Hanna

-at Galeri, Caernarfon.

-Congratulations on reaching

-the final of this beauty pageant.

-It's been a difficult journey...

-..as you've suffered with

-your confidence in recent years.

-Yes, as I was bullied at school

-up until May of this year.

-It was a difficult time...

-..but I started kickboxing

-and it boosted my confidence.

-These days, I don't care if people

-like me or not as it's their issue.

-People don't think it's bullying

-when you say things on Snapchat...

-..but it's still a form of bullying.

-I wouldn't want anyone to go

-through it as they were very cruel.

-If I was older with children, I'd

-want them to tell me about it...

-..but I know it isn't that easy

-to tell your parents about it.

-Talk to someone your age before you

-tell a parent or person you trust.

-Why did you decide

-to enter this beauty pageant?

-My sister, Nia works

-in a beauty salon in Porthmadog.

-She entered me in the first round

-and then told me I was in the final.

-I didn't understand it but she

-explained it and I was so happy.

-Wearing make-up and being glamorous

-isn't part of this pageant.

-so is only for those aged 14 to 16.

-In the finals,

-I don't have to wear a long dress.

-Thankfully, I won't have to wear

-heels as I can't walk in them!

-On 25 August, I've got a charity

-night at The Goat in Penygroes...

-..to raise money

-for Cancer Research Wales.

-It's important to my family

-as we've lost relatives to cancer.

-You'll stand on the stage in the

-pageant with confidence and beauty.

-It's going to be

-an amazing experience.

-Yes, and the pageant has changed

-the way I think about life.

-In the past, I could never do

-this but I'm confident now.

-I've come a long way and

-think I've come out of my shell now.

-Good luck in the final in May and

-for everything else in your life.

-Thank you and you're an inspiration

-to a lot of people.

-Good luck to Hanna.

-Don't forget about the evening

-at The Goat in Penygroes.

-Gwilym Rhys Bowen is performing and

-radio DJ, Kev Bach hosts an auction.

-Go and show your support

-and it's set to be a great night.

-And don't forget about our

-summer photography competition.

-Here are just a few of your entries.

-Email your photographs

-for the very last time this evening.

-Thanks to everyone in Newport,

-Pembrokeshire for the welcome.

-Let's enjoy the dulcet tones of

-Lowri Evans with her song, Neithiwr.

-# Last night, you promised me

-the moon and the stars

-# And after a night of dancing

-# You told me

-# That this was the last time

-the boat would sail

-# And this time

-# We would marry

-# Last night, you promised me

-the moon and the stars

-# But when I woke up this morning

-# I saw your writing

-# On the piece of paper next to me

-# Saying that, this time

-# You wouldn't be coming back for me

-# I'm standing alone by the sea

-# Knowing that my love

-will never come back

-# And now I'll have to start seeing

-# That in nine month's time

-# I'll have to pay the price

-# Last night,

-your son came to this world

-# And when he looked up at me

-# I saw his father in him

-# Smiling softly at me

-# But this time, I won't

-# Let the sea come between us

-# Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

-# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

-# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

-# Ooh-ooh-ooh #
