These five projects will focus on wellbeing in green spaces, building resilient businesses, sustainable farming, young people planning a sustainable future and nature-based events.
 
These new projects are being supported by the Welsh Government Rural Communities - Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, which is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Welsh Government until June 2023.
 
The Wellbeing in Green Spaces project will see Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust, Cultivate Co-operative and Oriel Davies Gallery working in partnership to harness nature, food, and art, in the town’s green spaces to deliver health and wellbeing services.
 
Head of Wellbeing at Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust, Carla Kenyon said “Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust are thrilled to be a partner in this exciting project, and we are very encouraged that Welsh Government are committed to investing in wellbeing and nature initiatives for the benefit of people living in and around Newtown”. 
 
In partnership with Ponthafren, Circular Economy Mid Wales and Robert Owen Community Banking Fund, the Building Resilient Businesses project will offer wellbeing support to business owners and staff, environmental efficiency audits and a circular economy loan fund to provide support services to the town’s businesses.
 
With partners Robert Owen Community Banking Fund and the Severn Rivers Trust, Open Newtown’s Sustainable Farming project will support a group of 25 Upper Severn farmers near to the town to enhance land and water management and biodiversity.
 
The One Planet Generation project will see Open Newtown working with local young people to investigate our environmental impact and what we can do, as a community and individuals, to reduce it. This project will also develop a programme of outdoor, nature-based activities for local children in Newtown
 
The Open Events project will involve Open Newtown working in partnership with Oriel Davies Gallery to develop a programme of diverse events to celebrate the town’s natural resources.
 
The five projects will be managed by Lynne Burns who said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the ENRaW funding. These new projects bring together a strong partnership of local organisations to collaborate in a way that enables our natural resources to be linked to people’s wellbeing.
 
“By engaging people and businesses, our aim is to pilot and develop viable support services based on our natural assets in Newtown. The projects will test what communities can achieve, given the right support, access to land and freedom to do what they do best.
 
“One of the most exciting projects will see young people in Newtown working with Kerala Irwin, Open Newtown’s youth engagement officer to investigate Newtown’s ecological footprint and to plan for a sustainable future for the town.”

Shropshire-based caravan and motorhome dealership Salop Leisure has been named the best in the UK for the fourth time.
 
The company, which has been in business for 55 years and employs more than 200 people at sales centres in Shrewsbury, Machynlleth and Stourport-on-Severn, has been named the top supplying dealers of new touring caravans.
 
The Owner Satisfaction Awards 2022 are based on surveys undertaken by Camping and Caravanning Club members and Practical Caravan magazine readers. A total of 3,449 owners completed the survey this year - 200 more than in 2020.
 
“A truly satisfying ownership experience relies on a great product backed by superb sales and aftercare, so the best caravan dealerships also deserve to be recognised,” said an awards spokesman.
 
“Standards among the top performers are high, and we don't want the industry's top performers to rest on their laurels, so we've increased the minimum score for a Gold Award from 80% to 85%.
 
“You're unlikely to be frowning if you buy from Salop Leisure in Shrewsbury, leaping up to first from eighth place in 2020. A 91% satisfaction rating easily achieves the Gold Award standard and leaves clear daylight between Salop and the best of the rest.”
 
It's the fourth time in nine years that Salop Leisure has won the overall award which is accompanied by a Gold Award for Best New Caravan Supplying Dealers. The company also collected Gold Awards for supplying pre-owned caravans and motorhomes.
 
Salop Leisure’s managing director Mark Bebb said: “We are delighted to be named the Best New Caravan Supplying Dealers in the UK for the fourth time. We are very proud of the team at Salop Leisure who, despite the challenges caused by Covid-19, have continued to work hard to provide great customer service.
 
“As a business, we never rest on our laurels. We believe there is still room for improvement and that’s why we shall continue to strive to provide an even better service to our customers.”
 
Salop Leisure aims to be a one stop shop for customers, who can buy, service, repair and store their touring caravans and motorhomes in Shrewsbury. The company also sells caravan holiday homes and luxury lodges, working with caravan parks across the Heart of England and Mid Wales.
 
The company’s headquarters, located alongside Shrewsbury bypass at Emstrey, has become a tourism destination, as it houses Love Coffee restaurant and Love Plants, a specialist plants centre.
 
On site facilities also include award winning secure caravan and motorhome storage, which has won the CaSSOA (Caravan Storage Site Owners’ Association) platinum award.
 
Adjoining Salop Leisure’s headquarters is the company’s multi-award-wining Love2Stay glamping and touring caravan resort.

Plans for the new commission come at an opportune time for Mr Watkins as he is calling for a change to the compulsory education system in Wales to give apprenticeships parity of esteem with university degrees to meet the needs of employers.
 
He maintains that the most talented young people are encouraged to aspire to attend university rather than to consider apprenticeships in sectors, such as hospitality, where there is a desperate need for skilled employees.
 
“The Commission for Tertiary Education and Research will be in a much better position to respond to national and regional learning priorities based on evidence to fit the actual needs of the economy,” said Mr Watkins. “Commissioning learning, whatever that might be, cannot continue to be a free for all.
 
“We have to realise that we live on an island and there is no longer freedom of movement of people following Brexit, which should not come as a surprise to any of us. How are we going to fill job vacancies and fill skills gaps?
 
“There is a high percentage of our talented young people that leaves the area at the age of 18 for higher education rather than staying to develop higher level skills through apprenticeships. Many of these young people never return to employment within the region and this must change.”
 
Last week, Mr Watkins addressed more than 100 delegates at the Mid Wales Tourism and Hospitality Conference, organised by MWT Cymru at the Metropole Hotel and Spa, Llandrindod Wells, where he spoke about the recruitment crisis facing the hospitality industry following Brexit and the pandemic.
 
He asked all delegates to stand up and remain standing if they currently employ or have in the past employed an apprentice. Only six delegates remained standing!
 
He stressed that apprenticeships in Wales are open to people aged from 16 to 65, including those already employed in businesses.
 
Significant investment in Powys and Ceredigion planned over the next decade had the potential to be a regional economic “gamechanger”, with projects likely to impact positively on the visitor economy which would require a highly skilled workforce.
 
“Changing the compulsory education system is not likely to win votes but meeting the needs of our regional economy is far more important, in my opinion, to the region than votes,” he added.
 
“Never in my working life have I experienced the need to reduce the operational hours of a business not because of the limited number of customers but the lack of human resources available to deliver the quality of service expected by the business and its customers. For the past seven months in Mid Wales, this has been a regular picture.”
 
He urged businesses to put pressure on politicians at all levels to challenge the compulsory education system and to develop innovative ways of engaging with primary and secondary schools to make children aware of exciting career opportunities within the hospitality and tourism sector.
 
“Let’s see governing bodies, school leaders, teachers and career guidance giving the same amount of support to students to complete an application for an apprenticeship opportunity as they currently do for the completion of a UCAS form,” he said.
 
He also challenged employers to create apprenticeship opportunities at the same time as students are considering their school options.
 
He is concerned how much longer businesses can continue to operate with a staff shortage before they become unsustainable, with the consequent impact on visitor experience. “We need to be continually raising the quality and increasing the offer, not reducing it,” he said.
 
He revealed that Cambrian Training Company has a minimum of £1.8 million available annually for the next five to seven years to deliver apprenticeships within Powys and Ceredigion.
 
He pledged to secure additional funding for the tourism – the “most economically important” sector in Mid Wales - if there is demand from businesses to make the Apprenticeship Programme one of the solutions to their skills and staffing crisis.
 
“Our sector cannot take advantage of the technological advances of automation,” he added. “To be at our best, we need human interaction and that requires higher level skilled individuals and teams. That does not in itself mean higher education.”
 
One hospitality business already benefitting from the Apprenticeship Programme, having already signed up 13 apprentices, aged from 17 to mid-40s, is Lake Vyrnwy Hotel at Llanwddyn.
 
Operations director Anthony Rosser said: “I don’t understand why more tourism and hospitality businesses don’t employ apprentices. It’s a wonderful opportunity for employees to receive structured training, very beneficial for recruitment, staff retention and progression, helps to drive up standards within your business and is easy to organise and administer.”

Arwyn Watkins, OBE - time to change the compulsory education system.

“We have seen record numbers of people coming into Mid Wales. Staycationing looks as if it is going to be with us for some time to come, especially if people don’t have the confidence to travel abroad.
 
“Mid Wales has become a recognised destination and our job is to ensure it stays that way. We know that places like North Wales and Pembrokeshire have been very popular destinations for some time but I think Mid Wales is starting to catch up and long may it continue.
 
“Our challenge is to make sure that we can get these visitors to come back.”
 
But Mr Rees-Evans also warned of “dark clouds looming over the horizon” as the industry grapples with staff shortages, supply chain issues and the expected return of VAT to 20% from 12.5%. There will also be the 1.5% increase in National Insurance staff contributions for businesses to factor in.
 
“As an industry we are going to have to manage these changes carefully because they will affect our bottom line,” he said.

​The human resource shortfall was also highlighted by Arwyn Watkins OBE, managing director of Cambrian Training Company, the conference’s lead sponsor, who urged delegates to challenge the current education system to ensure that apprenticeships are given equal importance for school leavers as staying in education currently is.
 
“Changing the compulsory education system won’t win votes for politicians, but it will address the needs of the area which is more important,” said Mr Watkins.
 
But the new chair of the Wales Tourism Alliance, Suzy Davies, also encouraged delegates to “seize the day” and made her organisation’s priorities clear as the industry continues its recovery from the pandemic.
 
“We intend to continue as the strong and united voice for tourism in Wales whilst at the same time being a critical friend to the Welsh Government by campaigning for better economic conditions,” she said.
 
“I want to assure the industry that we are a champion for the private sector. Visit Wales and the Welsh Government can’t do everything so we look forward to working with them. We have to get the balance of partnership right.”
 
That message of unity was supported by Steve Hughson, chair of Mid Wales Regional Tourism Forum, who praised the recent Visit Wales marketing campaigns that had raised the profile of the region to unprecedented levels.
 
“What is being done at the moment in the name of Mid Wales is absolutely magnificent,” he said, while reiterating that the forum will ensure that the “voice of tourism, hospitality and leisure is heard at the Welsh Government”.
 
Other enlightening presentations were delivered by travel journalist, York Membery, who gave insider advice on how to deal with the media, while Nerys Howell and Sian Roberts, from Loving Welsh Food, gave a light hearted lesson on improving customer service.
 
Community-led collaboration in Newtown and Rhayader was the topic of discussion addressed by Bill Stow, Rhayader 2000, Michael Booth, Dwr Cymru, and Stuart Owen, Open Newtown, while Lucy Von Weber, head of marketing at Visit Wales, reviewed their recent promotional campaigns and shared the latest data and research which led to their powerful autumn advertising campaign.
 
Brand specialist, Roger Pride, director of Heavenly, delivered advice to delegates on how to ensure their businesses are being noticed in a crowded market place.
 
In summing up the conference, MWT Cymru chief executive, Val Hawkins, said it had injected fresh energy into the tourism sector and encouraged delegates to spread the positivity across the region.
 
“We have welcomed a cross section of expert speakers with a wealth of knowledge in tourism to this conference which has been extremely well supported by a large number of attendees,” said Mrs Hawkins.
 
“We have a tremendous opportunity now to build the industry whilst at the same time we all need to listen to what our businesses are warning us about human resource shortages, supply chain issues and the pending return of VAT to 20%.”

Many of the world’s greatest gravel forest stages will come together to form the 2022 Motorsport UK Pirelli Welsh National Rally Championship with an exciting eight round calendar planned for next year.
 
Four rounds of the series, organised by the Welsh Association of Motor Clubs, will be based in Mid Wales. Most events will feature an ultra-compact one-day format, with around 45 stage miles and minimal road mileage.
 
Thanks to the outstanding road regrading work of Rally4Wales, the Welsh forest stages are always in excellent condition. This has enabled event organisers to run double use rallies with little or no deterioration in road condition, especially in the Mid Wales forests and the events run in the summer months.
  
The 2022 Pirelli Welsh National Rally Championship starts with Rally North Wales in Dolgellau on Saturday, March 26. Organised by Wolverhampton & South Staffs Car Club, the event contains challenging stages in the nearby Dyfi and Gartheiniog forests.
 
Round two will be the Rallynuts Stages Rally on Saturday, April 9. Organised by Midland Manor Motor Club, this event is based at the Royal Welsh Showground in Llanelwedd with stages in the famous Myherin, Sweet Lamb and Hafren forests.
 
Round five will be the Nicky Grist Stages in Builth Wells on Saturday, July 9. With the start, finish and service area all located in the town centre, the event is organised by Quinton Motor Club and will contain super-smooth stages in classic Mid Wales forests in and around the Epynt military range, including Crychan and Halfway.
 
The Eventsigns Woodpecker Stages Rally is another hugely popular event, with some fantastic stages in Radnor Forest. Organised by The Sixty and Worcestershire Motor Club, this event was praised this year for reformatting and running with incredibly few road miles.
It will be back in 2022 to host round six on its traditional date of Saturday, September 3 and with a route including a return to Haye Park.
 
The eighth and final round will be the Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally in Llandudno on Saturday, October 29, organised by the North Wales Car Club.
 
“It’s fantastic to be able to put together a 2022 Pirelli Welsh National Rally Championship calendar with eight high quality events included, and I'd like to thank the rally event organisers and their teams for their enthusiastic approach to the new year,” said championship secretary, Dave Evison.
   
“It’s a very exciting time to be part of the Welsh National Rally Championship and if any individual or company would like to join us as a partner or supporter then please do get in touch.”

This year is the 200th anniversary of the final opening to the Montgomery Canal to Newtown. The canal, which starts in Frankton Junction near Ellesmere and runs through Welshpool, closed after a burst bank in 1936.
 
John Dodwell, Montgomery Canal Partnership chair and Michael Limbrey, Montgomery Waterway Restoration Trust charman, outlined the challenges and opportunities associated with reopening the canal from Refail, Berriew to Newtown.
 
Both men were delighted with the enthusiasm expressed at the meeting to restore the canal to Newtown.
 
“I was pleased that Craig Williams called the meeting and with the attendance of a wide range of interested parties,” said Mr Dodwell. “Restoring the canal to Newtown is phase four and the long term objective.
 
“We are at the very early stages and need to manage public expectations, as these things take a long time to bring to fruition. Firstly, we need to commission a feasibility study.
 
“We currently have our hands full with phase three but we need to plan ahead in collaboration with all interested parties.”
 
Mr Limbrey said it was most valuable that so many different interests in the canal were represented at the meeting. He was impressed and encouraged by the enthusiasm in the room to restore the canal.
 
“It has always been the ambition of the Montgomery Waterway Restoration Trust to reopen the canal back to a destination terminus in Newtown but everybody accepts that there are challenges to overcome,” he said.
 
“The priority at this stage has to be to reconnect the Welshpool section of the Montgomery Canal to the national waterway network, but we don’t want to lose sight of reopening the whole canal to Newtown.”
 
Mr Williams said: “It was good to get all interested parties in the same room to demonstrate the political will to restore the canal to Newtown which I think would be hugely transformational for tourism and the local economy.
 
“The vision of how the canal arrives in Newtown, as a terminus destination, is incredibly important.”
 
Half the 35-mile Montgomery Canal has now been restored and the UK Government recently announced £15.4 million Levelling Up Fund support to restore navigation to most of a 4.4-mile section from Llanymynech to Maerdy, near Welshpool.
 
Anybody interested in supporting the canal restoration is asked to contact Mr Limbrey on Tel: 01691 654081 or email: [email protected] .

The swap has meant that the well-respected event is now the final round of the season for several championships, setting up a thrilling battle in the forests for the hard-fought accolades.

More than 42 miles of competitive action in  Myherin, Sweet Lamb and Hafren Forest lie in wait for the 120-strong entry, offering world-class stages for the crews who will be sampling the regions gravel tests in November for the first time in many years.

The rally is once again sponsored by established racewear and accessory firm Rallynuts Motorsport which enters its fifth year as title sponsor. The event is a qualifying round of the MRF Tyres BTRDA Rally Series, Pirelli Motorsport UK Welsh Rally Championship, West Wales Rally Spares HRCR Stage Masters and the Brian Dennis Motorsport / Marsh Commercial Welsh Historic Rally Championship.

With the coveted number one on the door, BTRDA and Welsh Rally Championship front runners Garry Pearson and Niall Burns lead the field away in their Skoda Fabia R5 and are in the remarkable position of being able to claim two titles on Saturday.
 
The Duns driver has already taken the Scottish and Motorsport UK National Rally title honours and a win this weekend would vault the duo into the record books.

Doing all he can to stop the Scotsman will be Ford Fiesta R5 pilot Callum Black. Joined by co-driver Tom Woodburn, Black is in with a shout of taking the hotly contested BTRDA and Welsh titles as well but will need to outpace Pearson from the off. Expect a scintillating battle in the forests on Saturday between the pairing.

Ian Bainbridge and Will Atkins could be the thorn in both protagonists’ sides in their Skoda Fabia. Starting at the third seed, they will be looking for that elusive first BTRDA win.
 
As will rapid youngster Elliot Payne in his Fiesta Rally2. Payne and co-driver Patrick Walsh have shown a fine form of late and could well top the leader board in the Mid Wales forests.

British Rally Championship regular James Wilson makes the trip from Ireland to the event in a Fiesta R5. Usually seen in a Hyundai i20, Wilson and co-driver Arthur Kierans will not impact the title fight but will certainly be ones to watch in the stages.

Ludlow’s Perry Gardener shone on his Fiesta R5 debut at the Woodpecker Rally and could well pull some surprises this weekend too. With Jack Bowen on the notes, they have tough competition ahead from their sixth place starting position.

An impressive line-up of competitors from across the UK and beyond are eager to head into the stages and it is the smaller-engined cars and historic category vehicles that will lead the crews away from the Royal Welsh Showground on Saturday morning in a reverse seeded order, followed by the main field in a “fastest first” running order.

Spectators are welcomed to watch the action from two viewing areas during the day, with cars passing each location twice.  Due to continuing COVID implications, the Royal Welsh Showground will be out of bounds to spectators, but they can head to either the Sweet Lamb or Myherin stage to catch the action.

The opening stage of the rally, Myherin kicks off at 8:30am on Saturday with the second pass scheduled for 12:45pm. Entrance is cash only, available on the gate and is £10 per car.

Sweet Lamb offers the famous spectacular viewing and will see the first car at 9:09am with the second stage at 13:24pm. Once again, entrance is cash only, available on the gate with a landowner charge of £10 per person. Tickets are not transferable between the two locations.

For those who cannot watch the action in person, the event will also be broadcasting live with action from two stages on Rallynuts Stages Rally Facebook page.

Follow the event’s social media feeds for all the latest news, action and updates throughout the weekend.
