Queen’s Jubilee Baton Visit

Thursday 30th June saw the Queens Jubilee Baton Relay visit Aberystwyth and we had the honour of carrying it for part of its journey.

Our nominated baton carrier was Hawys Richards, the daughter of one of our engineers. She was selected for her achievements in the sport of cycling, finishing 2nd in her group at Aberystwyth’s Cycle Fest only 12 months after major transplant surgery. This feat is testimony to her character and will power I’m sure you would agree.
The baton was carried on the train between Aberystwyth and Capel Bangor before continuing its journey to Llangrannog the next stop on its tour of Mid-Wales.

Catrin M.S. Davies, Ceredigion County Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure, and Customer Services, said: “It’s great to see so many residents of the county being part of welcoming the baton to Ceredigion. Each is a great ambassador, whether it is a champion in sport, athletics, or cycling; or has shown courage in receiving medical treatment. They are an inspiration to us all.”
