VOCALIST OF THE YEAR
Congratulations to Ffion Wilde of Treorchy,
for winning the Singing section in the Treorchy Male Voice and Coca Cola Junior Musician of the Year’s Grand Final,
which was held at Treorchy Comprehensive School on March 12.
The competition was run by the Treorchy Male Choir and sponsored by Coca Cola.
This year, 27 talented youngsters from 15 Primary Schools throughout the Rhondda took part in the grand final.
10 year-old Ffion had won her Preliminary Round at Treorchy Primary School,
where she sang “My Favourite Things” from the Sound of Music,
and won two tickets to attend the “Lion King” in London’s West End, as did all the other preliminary round winners in the contest.
Ffion said that the Grand Final was a bit like the “X Factor” with a magical, theatrical atmosphere which she loves.
The grand final compere, Dean Powell, said of Ffion’s performance
"that Connie Francis from the Sound of Music had better watch out because Ffion Wilde would be hot on her heels!"
At the Grand Final, Roy Noble OBE presented Ffion with a trophy, £200 prize money and a holiday at Euro Disney for her family.
She was also presented with a large trophy for Treorchy Primary School to display for a year.
Ffion was also invited to perform “My Favourite Things” again, this time at the Parc & Dare Theatre
with the Treorchy Male Choir and the Parc & Dare Band at their annual Good Friday Concert on March 21.
Ffion will also be performing with the choir in the Heritage Park sometime in June.

PRESENTATION - Ton-Pentre and Gelli Boys & Girls’ Club held a very successful annual presentation evening at the Ton-Pentre Football Club on Friday 12th May 2005. Over 250 adults and young people attended the event. Player of the year winners were:
The Club also runs under 17 and under 19 teams. All of our teams acquitted themselves well in their respective leagues. As well as celebrating the Club’s football success, the evening raised over £1,000 for club funds. An auction was held for a Football signed by the current Cardiff City squad and a Liverpool F.C. shirt autographed by Ian Rush, also prizes given by local businesses were raffled, our thanks to all who donated. The evening concluded with a disco. Thanks to the management committee, football managers and club volunteers for their commitment over the season and, of course, to our players and club members, without who we wouldn’t have anything to celebrate. As always, the club, which is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, needs additional volunteers. If you could give up a couple of hours per week to help us out, call in at the club, which is located off Dinam Park Avenue, during the evening and ask for Kevin (club leader), or alternatively, during the day ring Dean on 01443 425894 for further information.* * * |
