Years ago I remember when a Cwm Place team played Dolgarrog in a friendly game at the field in Maesdu road.     I must have been about 12 years old and the youngest on the field by far.      Cwm Place must have been short of a player and were desperate so they put me in the team at Centre Forward, a position I've never played in before or since and their Centre Half was Dave Powell.   
I was probably under 5 feet tall and Dave must have been 6 feet plus and they kept playing the high ball to me so I had no chance anyway.
We lost 12- 1  which wasn't surprising as Dave Powell was a brilliant player and a future international too when he moved to Sheffield Utd

      When I played for Quints in the early 70s the left wing was a 15 year old Mickey Thomas who lived down the road in Mochdre, and who moved on to Wrexham at the end of that season after the scouts had watched him. The club received a new football strip as a gift from Wrexham, they should have asked for a percentage of his next move, which was to Man Utd for £350.000! I bumped into him in ASDA recently and he is still the same football-mad guy he was all those years ago.

Dave Powell from Dolgarrog is a name I do not recognise, Hugo, but he was certainly an outstanding player.

              I played for Eglwsbach, and Quinton Hazell in the Vale of Conwy League for a couple of years in the 60s Bri, and later in the Sunday League for the King's Head, Cross Keys, and finally the Albert Hotel until I broke my leg in 1976. I'm sure I played against you at some time, didn't you play for Maggie Murphy's when Col. Hare was the licencee in the late 60's early 70s?

Yes, I played regularly for Maggies during the early seventies when I had a lot more hair than I have now !!

My CV in the Vale of Conwy from 1967-75 was with Borough Amateurs, Conwy Borough, Conwy RBL and Llandudno Reserves on the old Council Field.

A bridge over a stream and a scenic waterfall, where will you find it?

Bodnant Garden?

[DaveR]

Bodnant Garden?

Quite right!  I was hoping that a different angle (taken from the newly opened bit) might confuse people slightly!

[DaveR]

Where in North Wales was I when I took this photo?

[Fester]

[DaveR]

Portmadoc?

It's good but it's not right, as Roy Walker used to say.

[Nemesis]

Beaumaris?

[DaveR]

Beaumaris?

Im afraid that's not it.

[Hugo]

Is it Cemaes Bay on Anglesey?

[Fester]

Pwllheli?

[DaveR]

Hugo takes the prize, it is the small former fishing village of Cemaes Bay on Anglesey. The walks along the Coastal Path are great around there.

Did you get to the Vineyard by St Badrigs Church?  We had a few free tasters when we went there once.
