Tour of Britain

No, not us, sadly. But the 2024 Tour of Britain Women’s Cycling event will be arriving in Llandudno on 6th June, having cycled earlier that day from Welshpool via the western side of the Conwy Valley.

This 1st Stage of the Tour will be 142.5km long, and that includes 2,276m of climbing. Just Click Here to see the route so if you want to spectate, you can choose your spot in advance and be there ready as the cyclists fly past.

Did You See It?

Finalists

In the recent “Bowler with the Bendiest Knees Competition”, David L and John B competed on the green in the Final. David L went in with the riskier “Slipping in Sideways Semi-Kneel Position”, whilst John B tried the more traditional “Royal, Double Half-Knee Bend”. You decide on the winner.

Looking Around

The Chester Heritage Festival 2024 takes place around the city from 21st to 30th June. With plenty of events it should make a very interesting trip. In addition, events are held during the year. One of those events is held every Saturday during the summer (and Wednesday’s during school holidays) and gives children the opportunity to learn to be a Roman Soldier.

Precautions

Do you take care of your mobile phone to keep it safe? North Wales Police has a few tips on this. One tip is to keep a record of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of your mobile in case it is stolen. To find your IMEI number, use the keypad on your mobile phone and type in the following five symbols: *#06#

There’s a Buzz in the Air

The National Beekeeping Centre for Wales is based locally. If you are interested in bees, and there is a need for your interest because their habitats are reducing and their numbers are in decline. Perhaps you’ve always fancied being a beekeeper? If so, then try one of their weekend courses. The next one will be held on 1st & 2nd June 2024 at Bangor University’s Henfaes Research Centre.
