Issue 40 - Spring 2011 www.adamsdown.co.uk

C ardiff’s network of lanes criss-cross the city. Fox Lane, which runs f rom Adamsdown to Splott has

had its fair share of anti-social issues; fly tipping, drug use among other things, prompting local residents to take action and petition for it to be gated. With the backing of local councillors, this is happening. In the meant ime however, residents have been given a boost with funding from Tidy Towns to improve the lane area whilst waiting for the gates to arrive.

Overseen by the team at Adamsdown Communities First, local artists and graphic designers will work wi th vo lunteers f rom the Environmental Action Group for a spruce-up Fox Lane’ ser ies of weekends. Calling on residents and local children, the aim is to paint the neglected facades backing onto the lane - forming a patchwork of colours, which will form a series of murals featuring a wandering fox and wildlife. e-mail [email protected] for more information or contact Beth on 029 20 460 899.

T he Adamsdown Communities First Project held its Spring Party on St David’s Day, T u e s d a y 2 n d M a r c h a t

Adamsdown Primary School.

The event, which was open to the whole community, showcased several projects that have been running in the area over the past year and was a replacement for the Christmas Party which was regrettably cancelled at the last minute due to the massive snow fall in mid-December. Alongside performances by the Adamsdown Community Choir and the Adamsdown school choir, young MC’s who have been following Ministry of Life’s OCN accredited course had chance to show off their talents. Local singer Sam Woodward (right) also performed for an excited crowd. Showcasing on the night was the A d a m s d o w n A g e X c h a n g e , a n intergenerational project led by artist Bill Taylor-Beales which explores people’s relationship with the area they live in. This incorporated music,

video, live performance, photography and paintings. There are plans to continue this work throughout 2011.

One of the highlights of the evening was when Bill, who is also leading the anti-dog fouling campaign in Adamsdown brought along Megan, his pet chocolate Labrador to meet the children. Megan is the face of the campaign and even has her own song and comic strip (see page 5).

Staff from Adamsdown Play Centre led local children in junk arts and crafts, while the Friends of the Hut volunteers worked overtime on the tuck shop. Around 200 people attended the event, which was truly representative of the range of talents and creativity in Adamsdown.

Adamsdown kids run, jump and throw better - thanks to young volunteers!

C h i l d r e n f r o m Adamsdown ’s th ree pr imary s ch oo l s wer e

given the chance to take part in a special athletics tournament at UWIC’s Cynco ed Cam pu s on Thursday 3rd March. Led by volunteer coaches, aged from 15-26, the schools were invited to ‘Run, Jump and Throw’ in an event that marked the end of a six week project organised by UWIC’s First Campus programme, Adamsdown Communit ies First and Welsh Athletics. The scheme offered a chance for young people to be trained as coaches and lead lunch time and after school sports clubs in the community. The volunteers come from all backgrounds - at school, unemployed or working - and have all given their free time to make the project a success.

Run Jump Throw was des ig ned to introduce athletics in a fun and engaging way. Pup i ls f rom A d a m s d o w n , Stacey Road and Tredegarville primary schools took part.

The volunteers were fantastic! Some only left primary school a couple of years ago and had very little

e x p e r i e n c e a s coaches, but they are now being seen as role models by the children. Nico Maughan (pictured in action, left) won an award for most improved coach,

with Kieron Ullah and Oscar Toppo named runners up. Overall winners at the event were Stacey Road School, while Tredegarville were second.

Anti dog fouling campaign

O ur campaign to tackle the issue of dog fouling has been launched. Adamsdown Communities First has invited artist Bill Taylor-Beales to

head up the campaign working with schools, local shops and residents. The campaign will involve the whole community in raising awareness of the dangers and issues attached to this anti-social problem. Bill's idea is create a positive impact with a cartoon character, "Megan!!" - based on his real live pet Labrador - who will take an active part in the campaign herself. Bill is partnering with the Dogs Trust to run a lively series of assemblies in primary schools packed with singing, live art, two dogs and even air guitar. Pupils are treated to interactive dog awareness workshops with the Dogs Trust and cartoon art workshops with Bill - inviting the pupils to create their own comic strips based on the humorous antics of the dog and her owners. Pupils are taking part in a competition to create the best comic strip. Each one will bear the campaign slogan: ‘Any Bag, and a Bin, Scoop it, Tie it, Drop it in’ . The winning cartoons will be featured as part of a major publicity campaign in local news, Lo Down, online, in shop windows, on public display boards, a billboard and even in a music video on the giant TV screens in the city centre. Alongside this every house will receive free dog bags, window stickers and leaflets with info on how to deal with and report dog fouling. Funded by Tidy Towns, the campaign has a two-pronged attack. One will be the cute cartoons, posters and school workshops and the other will be working with residents who want to see a cleaner neighbourhood.

O n Saturday 12th February East Moors played host to a massively successful Valentine’s Ball which was planned by the HYPE group. HYPE stands for Helping Young People Everyday. The group consists of 8 young people who attend Willows High

School, they have been working on a project to develop an area within the school grounds. They booked all the balloons, food, lighting and chocolate fountain from The Wedding Fayre Shop on Splott Road. They spent all week before the party selling tickets during their lunch time and also gave up their Saturday morning to help set up. Over 100 young people bought tickets and everyone involved thought it was an awesome night. Gemma Hicks

Play Day

F riends of the Hut held a Play Day on Friday 25th February at Adamsdown Play Centre with the theme of playing with the elements, under the inclusive banner of ‘we play’. Activities included den building, junk modelling, loose parts, plaster of Paris, clay, water and

fire play and group sports games. The Friends of the Hut group successfully obtained money from Cymorth small play grant, to host this event. They have also been running a daily tuck shop at the Play Centre which has been a huge hit with the young people who attend. All profit from this will be used to give play opportunities to local children, young people and families. A big thank you to Donna Kerswell and her family, for supporting the Hut in leading the ‘Friends of’ group.

Rap Happenings

R ap Happenings has been running since September 2010 during which time over 30 young peop le have

participated in activities. There have been 2 trips to music studios and some live events, organ-ised by the members themselves. Events have been going well, firstly at Christmas in Buffalo Bar where young people performed, followed by another on February 5th in which 5 people planned, organised and performed the events and a third on 13th February 2011 at the Gate Centre on Keppoch Street in Roath, hosted by Gabriel Gazo. Over 200 volunteering hours have been accomplished by young people in organising these. Around ten people are expected to gain OCN qualifications level 1 in music composition and 2 more are currently looking to extend their qualifications to levels 2 and 3 with another local recording studio trip and a trip to NGM music studios in March.

Local singers Sam Woodward and Toni-Marie Kinsella are also looking to continue their involvement

and to pursue 'live performance' OCN qualifications following on from their previous years’ success with their fantastic performance at Cardiff Bay and more recent ly work ing with Angharad Evans and Bil l Taylor Beales in writing their own songs. Ministry of Life and the Rap Happenings project would like to thank Adamsdown Communities First for their ongoing support in running the voluntary organisation and the staff at St Germans Hall for their help and support behind the scenes. We would also like to thank Gwir Vol a n d W C V A for their f und ing support, w i t h o u t this the experience in organising live performances and qualifications would not be possible. We have been continuing with outreach workshops in Caerphilly, Bargoed and the valleys in which have been delivering MC & DJ qualifications at Lewis School in Bargoed and have a number of workshops with Caerphilly Youth Services. Showcases are planned over the year ahead in Caerphilly and it is hoped we can encourage some p a r t n e r s h i p w o r k i n g b e t w e e n Caerphilly and Cardiff and the talents of young people between both areas.

Polly Aplin - a poem by Rabaa Abbo Polly is a fantastic help,

When you see her you will give a cool yelp,

Her favourite colour is green,

She likes to be very clean,

She’s very shy,

Although she likes to eat pie,

She has a beautiful smile,

She likes to run an extra mile,

Her favourite singer is Elvis Presley,

She’s got a good friend called Lesley,

She’s got two pet cats,

They like to eat a lot of rats,

She’s my favourite tutor,

She’s very good on the computer,

She’s the best,

She’s better than all the rest.

The Story of Your LifeThe Story of Your LifeThe Story of Your LifeThe Story of Your Life

by Siddiqah Begumby Siddiqah Begumby Siddiqah Begumby Siddiqah Begum

O nce upon a time there lived a k i n g . T h e k i n g h a d a daughter called Sally. The king also had two other

daughters. The two daughters where very mean. One day Sally was outside having a walk. One sister of hers was spying on Sally and the other sister was having a wa sh . S he s t a r t e d t o s c r e a m. “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. its a frog, it’s a frog”. Her father the king raced around the palace hal ls to see his own daughter screaming about a small frog! Sally heard the scream and raced back through the forest into the palace. She saw the small frog, her eyes open wide. “It`s just a small frog!

Its such a cute frog too!” Said Sally. ``Ewwwwwwwwwww`` Said the two

daughters.

The king told his servant to pick the frog up and throw the horrid thing away, but Sally wanted to keep the frog. The king said “nooooooooo!” Sally asked “why?” . “Because its way too slimy! And because you’re a princess, silly girl” Said the king. So the servant threw the frog away. The next day Sally went to get the frog. She looked everywhere! Until she found the frog hurt in the forest. She felt so sorry for him that she kissed him. And then…….. puff! She turned into a frog. “OH NO” she said. “I’ve turned into frog!” The frog says, “lets run away to my pond castle”. So they all lived happily ever after, at least I think they do!

Horoscopes By Madame Josephine

What’s On? In and around Adamsdown

"ARE YOU LOST?"

Did you ever realise that people can be lost spiritually? They are away from God, separated from Him

because of sin. The Bible says: “Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your

sins have hid his face from you” (Isaiah 59:2), and "All we like sheep have gone astray, we have

turned everyone to his own way but the Lord hath laid on Him (Jesus) the iniquity of us

all" (Isaiah53.6). Many are lost but do not realise it, just like a child who has wandered from the side

of a parent. But the good news is “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was

lost.” (Luke 19:10)

Have you ever discovered your real spiritual condition before God, and what it means? To some very

religious people of His day, Jesus said: “You will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come." (John

8:21) Paul wrote: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ

our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) How can we be sure of salvation? Some appreciate they are not right with

God and try to do something about it. They decide to 'turn over a new leaf,' give up bad habits or join

a church organisation - all in an effort to find their own way back to God. But good though these

things may be, they are of no value to a lost sinner. Again the Bible says: "Not by works of

righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He (Jesus) saves us" (Titus 3.5).

By His sacrificial death at Calvary the Lord Jesus provided the only way by which lost sinners can be

saved. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given

among men, whereby we must be saved"(Acts 4.12). The way of salvation is still the same today.

Adamsdown Gospel Hall, Kames Place (near the Black Bridge), Sundays at 6.30pm.
