CONGRATULATIONS to Treorchy's JIMMY WATKINS!
Jimmy Watkins of Treorchy represented Great Britain in Moscow during the IAAF World Indoor Athletics Championships this month.
Achieving two personal best times in the qualifying heats for the 800 metres event, he was the youngest runner competing in the finals and finished in sixth place.
Jimmy has since received his IAAF certificate - confirming he is now seeded sixth in the world.
He becomes the 11th fastest British runner over 800 metres and also the 11th fastest in the world.
He is also the first British athlete to get to the 800m indoor final since 1993 and has broken the Welsh indoor record by over a second.

CAMEO SOCIETY - The February meeting of the Rhondda Cameo Society was well attended despite the bitterly cold winter weather. We were pleased to hear that Muriel Richards is making a good recovery from her accident. “Get Well” wishes were sent to Edwina Owen after her recent operation. Our thoughts also went out to Margaret Williams on the loss of her husband.
Minutes of last month’s meeting were read by Mair John, followed by the Treasurer’s report by Betty Hayter. Secretary Megan Morris asked for names for the AGM and tea at Ton Pentre Football Club on March 29th.

Tea, Welsh cakes and bara brith ended this enjoyable afternoon.
