The below photos are from Steve Daniels - "Other than those with labelling I cannot tell you much about them other than the fact that my dad, Joe Daniels is in all of them. There is one featuring an ad hoc H Division touring rugby team that visited Glasgow and played against a Strathclyde Police Team on the weekend of a Five Nations Scotland v Wales match. The game took place in 1997 and the result was a draw. You may have featured this on the Facebook page previously". Steve Daniels |

*********************
Footnote - Swansea Police Rugby Team West Wales Trip -
John had inserted captions but there are some amendments needed-
the date was definitely not 1970
as I recall one of the team George Evans leaving in about 1961/2. The "Dewi" front right
was Dewi Llewellyn, a Police Cadet - who never joined -
I think the date is more likely to be 1958/9.
I have been in touch with John and he agrees - Bryon Tucker

Peter Hall - In the 1990s I initiated a project where Gendros Primary School Swansea were linked with Timberlane Elementary School, Virginia USA. Both schools learnt about each others cultures and studied both country’s history, culture, government, police and other emergency services. I took Gendros school to 10 Downing St and Parliament where Prime Minister Thatcher was interviewed by the pupils. She also gave a greeting to the American Pupils. All these events where videod by myself. The still's shown are from video at Downing Street which include Supt Merry Bowden in the background. After a year of the Cultural Exchange I arranged for Gendros School to link up with Timberlane School USA via a live 1 and a half hour satellite link from HTV Cardiff. In the still photos taken from video, (above and below) included are myself in HTV studios with Arfon Haines Davies and Randall Killa, Headmaster of Gendros School. A Traffic car in the studio with Pc's Suzan Hughes, Graham Thomas (traffic) Dai Walters (Dog Handler) with Ricky the Police Dog. Arfon Haines Davies and pupil from Gendros. Angharad James presented Ricky the dog with birthday cake because we arranged for it to be the dogs birthday on the day of the live satellite link! - Angharad later joined South Wales Police and last I heard was a Sergeant in Cardiff. Other photos include Susan Hughes - Graham etc Photo of an American child dressed in Police Uniform and more of Dai Walters and Ricky the Dog. Peter Hall

| Hi Phil, I have attached the photo I was telling you about. As you'll see there are three halberdiers in the photo: Jake Ellery leading, followed by John Pickard and then myself. The photo would have been taken in 1957/8. Hope it is of some use. Regards, Colin Wooldridge Feb 2018 |

I think this photo was taken at Ashleigh road playing fields in the late 1980's.
The team was representing 'H' division, Swansea.
No idea who we were playing but suffice to say they probably didn't like us much!
