Art lovers and history enthusiasts are in for a treat this April as the Rhoose and District History Society hosts a captivating illustrated talk by Dr Jonathan Hicks. Entitled ‘Life is My Canvas’, the presentation will explore the remarkable life and career of Barry-born artist Margaret Lindsay Williams.

Renowned for her portraits of royalty, film stars, and even a US president, Williams was also a celebrated war artist. Her impressive body of work captured the faces of high society while reflecting the profound impact of global conflict on her generation.

The event takes place on Friday 25 April 2025 at 7pm at Rhoose Community Centre, Stewart Road, CF62 3EZ.

There’s a small entry fee of £2 per person to cover costs, and a collection on the night will raise funds for the Margaret Lindsay Williams Headstone Appeal – a worthy cause honouring her enduring legacy.

More new laws for 2025.

The UK government has also launched a sentencing review to introduce tougher punishments for offenders that don’t involve jail time, in an effort to ease prison overcrowding. The review, led by ex-justice secretary David Gauke, will explore the use of technology to create a “prison outside prison”.

Community alternatives and fines as a replacement for prison time will be examined, as will the impact of short custodial sentences, the government has said.

The findings of the sentencing review are due to be presented by spring 2025, with the first new measures expected to be implemented by March 2026 at the earliest.

Cracking Sunday (all day) breakfast at Whitmore+Jackson (dog friendly) - beach was filling up nicely too. Great to see. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful, warm afternoon at Whitmore Bay.
