Hobbs Point will be welcoming the return of the 96ft-long Tall Ship, the Johanna Lucretia this weekend. The 76-year-old ship will be arriving on Saturday, June 12 and staying for a total of 10 days, with private events for specially-invited guests going on aboard. For the past 14 years - excluding last year - the ship has been coming into port locally and hosting public events - serving up street food and theatre shows. However this year will be different - large crowds are not permitted anywhere near the ship, and the only way to get onboard is by invitation - the Pembroke Dock Explorer Scouts, Harri Tudur School and West Wales Maritime Heritage Society are among the groups heading onboard for a mini voyage.
Retired carpet fitter, Steve Case has been hard at work updating Pembroke Dock on behalf of the Project Pembroke Dock team. Steve, who lives in Queen Street, said: I don t do it for recognition I just care about our town and like to tidy it up! I enjoy doing it. Recently, Steve could be seen climbing ladders and painting the signs for Pater Hall and the St Govan s centre, along with other areas of the town. Another member of the team, Jade Kingdom has helped make this painting project a reality. Jade focused on updating the benches and railings on front street in August last year. Turning them into eye-catching bright colours, which were once rusted and grey items.
