EVERY housing estate in Blaenavon could be covered with a defibrillator by the end of next week, hope the organisers of a campaign to install the life-saving devices across the town. They have raised funds which have seen defibrillators installed outside Coed Wood stores in Capel Newydd, at Blaenavon RFC and Elgam Fish Bar, while also raising the money for cabinets to be installed outside the Queen Victoria and The Lion Hotel, as well as getting an unmounted defibrillator for Forgeside RFC. The pair already had a defibrillator at their pub, but it was inside – meaning when the pub was closed, it was couldn’t be accessed by the public.
A FORMER Blaenavon vicar who deals in the supernatural has released a book detailing his experiences as a deliverance minister. Reverend Dr Jason Bray was the Vicar of the Parish of Blaenavon with Capel Newydd for 13 years, before moving six years ago to become the Vicar of St Giles Parish Church in Wrexham. However, Rev Bray had an unusual sideline of work through the church - as a specially ordained minister who can help people who feel they may be haunted, cursed or possessed. Rev Bray has now written a book -
Deliverance - on his time as a deliverance minister.
