Centre excited for Sister Act
FOLLOWING on from the
huge success of our 2012
summer production of Hair-
spray, and 2013s Little Shop
of Horrors, the same crea-
tive team are reuniting for
Sister Act, another musical
that is sure to get everyone up
on their feet and dancing.
Sister Act tells the hilarious
story of disco diva Deloris
Van Cartier. After inadvert-
ently witnessing a murder by
her some-time boyfriend Cur-
tis and his gang, she is put
in protective custody in the
Aberystwyth Arts Centre is very excited to announce details of their Summer Musical Production for 2014 which is the fantastic
feel-good musical comedy Sister Act. The fun begins on Friday, July 25.

she wont be found the local
convent!
Disguised as a nun she im-
mediately makes the wrong
impression on the convents
strict Mother Superior, who
has problems of her own try-
ing to keep the convent going.
When Deloris transforms the
nuns choir into the hottest
musical act in town she can
help save the convent, but at
the same time she risks her
disguise being blown open.
Luckily for her, the gangsters
find themselves up against
an unstoppable force, as her

musical is based on the 1992
smash-hit movie of the same
name which starred Whoopi
Goldberg as Deloris and Mag-
gi Smith as Mother Superior.
The film was nominated for
two Golden Globes and was
a massive box office hit. A
stage musical of Sister Act
was first performed in the
USA in 2006, opening in the
West End in 2009 before head-
ing to Broadway and then

nominated for four Olivier

Centre are really pleased to
be the first ever independent
theatre to receive permission
to present Sister Act, which
is quite a coup for the town.
This fabulous, family-

packed with songs inspired
by Motown, funk, soul and
disco that guarantee to raise
the roof of the theatre. So

Welcome to Cardigan Golf Club
SITUATED high above the
shores of Cardigan Bay on
the Teifi Estuary, Cardigan
Golf Club is a special place to
play golf.
You will enjoy a memora-
ble and testing round of golf
surrounded by stunning sea
views, including the distant
Preseli Hills, and Bardsey Is-
land and the Lleyn Peninsula
to the north.
Measuring some 6,500
yards from the back tees, the
course, situated three miles
north of the historic town of
Cardigan, consists of a mix-
ture of links and parkland.
The often breezy conditions
call for varied shot-making,
each round proving unique
and offering a challenge for
golfers of all abilities.
The undulating greens and
surrounding bunkers require
concentration on approach
shots and finesse with the
putter.
A testament to the clubs
stature is that it has hosted
Golf Union of Wales cham-
pionships as well as interna-
tional matches.
The present clubhouse was
opened in August 1977 after
the previous one was de-
stroyed by fire, and in 1979 a
squash club was established
on golf club land.
The members of Cardigan
Golf Club are proud of their
club and delight in showing it
off to friends.
Panoramic sea views from
the lounge, restaurant and
patio areas are spectacular,
the summer sunsets being
something to behold.
The inaugural winner of
the Welsh Golf Club of the
Year award, the club was
highly commended for both
its course and clubhouse
presentation.
The clubhouse and chang-
ing facilities are to Visit
Wales specification.
The lounge and bar areas
are spacious, catering for
parties large and small.
The atmosphere is at once
both informal and comfort-
able.
Our friendly bar staff make
members and guests most
welcome.
Sit in comfortable chairs
and discuss your missed
putts or watch the sporting
news on the large-screen TV.
Alternatively, you can
watch your playing partners
approach shots to the 18th
green from the tables and
chairs on the patio.
The restaurant can cater for
up to 60 covers with an exten-
sive menu to suit all tastes.
Enjoy a fine meal and
wines, surrounded by fabu-
lous sea views and breathtak-
ing sunsets.

Shut top facilities
to save park loos

IN A bid to save the public con-
veniences in Victoria Gardens,
Cardigan town councillors are
to urge Ceredigion to close the
award-winning toilets in the
Bath-house car park.
The countys head of munici-
pal and environmental services,
Paul Arnold, wrote a letter to
the town council.
In it, he said: The county
council will endeavour to keep
Victoria Gardens open until the
allocated budget is expended.
But when is is, they will be
closed to the public.
Mr Arnold goes on in the letter
to refer to next years 11 mil-
lion budget cuts: The county
council has severe financial
challenges ahead of it, the like
of which we have never seen
before.
To respond to the financial
challenges, savings in expendi-
ture will be inevitable.
This means that services
provided by the county council
for decades will need to be re-
viewed if the council is to bal-
ance its accounts successfully.
But town councillors are still
baffled as to why Ceredigion
wants to keep the Bath-house
toilets open at a 21,440 a year.
Particularly when they want
to close the much more fre-
quently used Victoria Gardens,
which in contrast cost under
10,000 a year.
Figures show that the Bath-
house toilets are far less used
than others, said Councillor
Catrin Miles.
More cuts are coming and
closing these toilets would be a
way of saving money.
Town councillors are hoping
along with many other pressure
groups that a forthcoming
Welsh Government White Paper
on public health will require lo-
cal authorities to maintain pub-
lic toilets.
But Mr Arnold said in his let-
ter: Even our current provi-
sion is likely to be in excess of
any basic standards the bill may
seek to achieve.
At a special meeting this week,
town councillors also agreed to
investigate the cost of re-open-
ing the public toilets in Chan-
cery Lane.
They are also going to inves-
tigate coin-operated slots at the
public facilities.
As well, they want to encour-
age local businesses to take part
in the Welsh Assembly-funded
community toilet scheme.
It allows members of the pub-
lic to use businesses toilets
within opening hours, free of
charge.
Town councillors are now to
distribute forms to local busi-
nesses, to allow them to declare
their intentions of opening
their facilities to the public,
in exchange for an Assembly
grant.
We need to become a toilet-
friendly town, said Councillor
Richard Jones.
Well-oiled alcoholic stole box
of cider hed wanted for free
ADRUNKCardigan man walked
away with a box of cider cans, af-
ter shop staff refused a request
to give it away for free.
Jason Christopher White, aged
41, of Enslin, Feidr Fair, pleaded
guilty to theft from a shop, when
he appeared before Aberystwyth
magistrates on Wednesday.
The court heard that White
took two boxes of cider to the till
at Coop Store, Cardigan, on June
25, and asked staff to give him
the second one for nothing.
After staff refused, he paid for
one box containing 18 cans, and
walked out with the other. He
later told police he had made a
mistake.
Stephen Welch, defending, said
White was seriously alcoholic.
He started drinking early
that day, so by lunch time when
he went to the shop he was well
oiled. It was bizarre behaviour
from a bizarre state of mind.
A probation service report
stated that White had a serious
dependency on alcohol which re-
quired specialist treatment.
Magistrates fined White 75.
He must pay 12 compensation,
85 costs and a 20 surcharge.
White said: I want to better
myself, because I will wake up
dead one day.

Toy collection
full of nostalgia
THE Ty Twt Dolls House and Toy Collec-
tion in Market Street, Newport, Pembro-
keshire, houses a unique private display
of items of the past inherited and col-
lected by sisters Pam and Val Ripley.
In July 1939 their father went back to
the Army and everything, including
their toys, was put into storage tempo-
rarily. But three months later the war
came and they remained in storage. At
the end of the war they went into their
parents attic and were forgotten.
In the late 1970s they were discovered
still in their storage crates Vals won-
derful early 1930s dolls house The Ga-
bles with all its original contents, their
mothers dolls and toys which had been
together for over 100 years, and their
own childhood treasures.
It was a magical moment and they real-
ised that, quite by chance, they were the
lucky owners of a unique and enviable
toy collection.
They decided to build on it and there is
now a dolls house of every period from
1840 to the present, each furnished only
with items from the date of the house
and representative examples of all kinds
of playthings from the past stables
(the Victorian boys dolls house), shops,
theatres, schools, room settings, soft
toys, tin and mechanical toys, games and
lots more.
It is a very special museum, which
opened in 2010 in Newport where Pam
and Val spent their childhood holidays,
and is fascinating for grown-ups and
children. The museum is open Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays from10.30amto
5pm. Last entry is 4.30pm during school
holidays. At other times, individual and
group visits are welcome by appoint-
ment.
Admission is 3 for adults, children
1.50, a family ticket is 8 (2 adults and 2
children). Call 01239 820590 or visit www.
