Concerns tonight that it was a ..of public money to save

..to re-build the Pontrhydfendigaid Pafiliwn.

A lot of decision were made by people who thought...

..this and that would happen.

Unfortunately none of those things came to fruition.

The cost of vaccinating badgers.

Farmers and charities could have to contribute.

A year after the Olympics, a European athletics champion...

..is disappointed with the lack of legacy.

They were using those words every day...

..but I don't think there's a legacy.

Experts on European grants have told Newyddion 9...

..that plans to re-build Pontrhydfendigaid Pavilion...

..shouldn't have been given nearly �3 million in public funding.

The company that used to run the pavilion, Pafiliwn Cyf...

..went into administration in April due to heavy debts.

Through the Freedom of Information Act, Newyddion 9 has seen...

..a business plan for Pafiliwn Cyf.

According to an expert on grants, there are failings in the plan...

..that was presented to the government in 2004.

But Pafiliwn Cyf's business consultant insists...

..that the venture will be successful.

At one time,

At one time, the Pavilion at attracted fans of Welsh music from

all over the country. Young people flocked to see stars like Edward H

Dafis. It was originally a gift from Sir David James. He was a local man

who made a fortune in London. But the building interior rated, and

when a fire broke out in 2002, a group of local people tried to build

a new Pavilion. A new company was formed, Pafiliwn Cyf, in order to

apply for grants. At the company went into administration in April.

BBC Wales has seen the business plan that was presented to the Welsh

European Funding Office. The document contains figures on the

profits expected from the venture and work on possible markets for the

villain. In one statement, the author said he is convinced there is

a market for a Pavilion in Ceredigion. But there was not a

formal agreement with any company. There is also a reference to S4C and

no doubt the channel would be interested in using the Pavilion,

but according to the channel, there hasn't been any formal discussion

before the report was drafted. We asked and expert in European grants

to assess the report and figures. The problem is, while it provides a

financial focus, the narrative doesn't set out the assumptions. It

is difficult to determine whether or not this is a viable centre. If you

take the business plan on its face value, what it projects is a profit

after three years. On an initial investment of �2.8 million, that

rate of retirement isn't triggered. -- return. Isn't very good.

Although he says he was responsible for the figures, this man supports

the research work. We were looking at about �100,000 income in the

first year. In the first few years, we were getting near to that figure.

We have all kinds of events here. It has created an income in the seven

or eight years it has been going. The Welsh government says preparing

for the report concerned was conditioned and targets were met.

One who expressed concerns at the time was the former leader of

Ceredigion Council. He resigned a trustee of the Pantyfedwen

Eisteddfodau after concerns about the scheme. The report would return

a business plan. Many decisions were made by people who thought this and

that would happen, and unfortunately these didn't come to fruition.

business consultant for Pavilion -- Pafiliwn Cyf says it has been a

success. It is a success. It doesn't -- it does exactly what Objective

One should be used for. There aren't any jobs here. You can look at how

much money is being spent on hotels and food and local businesses are

benefiting. Since Pafiliwn Cyf was dissolved,

the work of running the building has been transferred back to Pantyfedwen

Eisteddfodau. But some would question whether it was a wise

decision to spend �3 million on the Farmers could be asked to share the

Vaccinating badgers is a hot topic. I don't think the Welsh government

has the backbone to do anything with TB. The Welsh government is

financing vaccination to in some areas.

But they will not be doing it right across Wales. Last year, 1400

badgers were vaccinated in the trials taking place in south-west

Wales. That cost nearly �1 million. It was �600 per badger. The aim now

is to the crease the cost. -- decrease the cost. A grant of

�250,000 will be offered annually so that farmers can organise

vaccinating badgers themselves. money isn't going to go far

throughout Wales. I'm doubtful how many farmers will go along that

path. We need to get rid of this disease in Wales. The way we are

going to do that is different parts of Wales will be different. We have

a programme on going in Pembrokeshire. We will be developing

that and looking at other areas in Wales where we can do a different

and new scheme. We need to understand how we can prevent a

bovine TB. Wildlife charities welcomed the

news. But it was a mixed response at the Royal Welsh Show.

Some of the immediate family had already seen him. Prince Charles,

Kate Middleton 's parents. But relatives or not, there were a lot

of celebrations. I am pleased that the baby and mother are healthy.

Rees. The mother didn't have a chance to think about what was

happening in London. I heard she had gone in but I didn't know until my

mum phoned last night and told me. It is a bit different. We are the

cameras outside their hospital. the royal couple want to shop for

congratulations to them. Has Kate been in this shop? Not yet... But

you never know. Some of their Welsh neighbours have a word or two of

advice for them. It's nice to have good news. I think it is good news

that they are both perfect. That's the most important thing. I think we

should have a good Welsh name. should raise them here.

Another day of sunshine at the show. Rain and thunder kept away from mid

Wales. But last year 's weather has affected food producers. Potatoes

grown in Anglesey reach the shops later this year. I think a year of

rain has affected the soil. It has been very difficult. We had to sow

the seeds later, and Spring was later this year as well. But how

much of this is climate change or a pattern that is more similar to the

Mediterranean weather? We either get it really wet or really hot. I think

we will get both. Some say it has been a difficult year. If you look

at the potato crops, the costs are the highest they have ever been.

But first, the athlete Rhys Williams has said today...

..that the Olympic Games didn't leave any legacy...

..and there hasn't been a positive effect here in Wales.

His comments come as the chairman of Sport Wales...

..Professor Laura McAllister says there is a threat...

..to what the Olympics created following funding cuts.

He

He is

He is European

He is European champion. We don't have such high calibre athletes in

Wales, despite the success of the London Olympics. A year later, what

is the legacy? Just after every Olympics, people take up a sport. I

spoke to people at the athletics club. It is just the same as normal.

They use these words, but they today there hasn't been a legacy at all.

So, after the games, people join cycling clubs and went running but

perhaps they haven't carried on? think they do for a few weeks, and

then it goes back down to what it was. I can only talk about

athletics. We don't have many athletes in Wales. We have to do

something about it. Running sporting clubs is one thing.

But with a local councils warning that leisure services will see cuts

in their budgets, Doctor Laura McAllister has said the legacy of

the London Olympics is now under council in Wales, will suffer in

years to come. The money isn't available to keep athletics tracks

going. It is going to be difficult for everyone. I'm sure, in the long

term, the children will suffer. Sport Wales figures are more

heartening. There has been a 30% increase in the number of people who

are swimming and boxing, while membership of gymnastics clubs has

increased 40%. That is the effect here. But what about the legacy for

athletes on the higher level? think it has had quite a positive

effect. Athletes are starting to think they have an opportunity.

Their attitudes have changed. They believe they can win. That is

something you can't put a price on. They now have the confidence.

step to clearing all our debt so we can go to the premiership without

any debt at all. There are further debts which should be paid to the

present chairman. Vincent Tan has ploughed thousands of pounds into

this club. There is interest on that. What we want is to seek

Vincent Tan turning the money into shares. That means he can neither

players and seeing this club going from strength to strength. I think

we will be unique in the premiership if we don't have any debt. We can go
