February 25, 1966: A Tenby councillor stalked, white and trembling with anger, from the quarterly meeting of the town council after his bid for the mayoralty had failed. Clr. T. B. Phillips, whose proposer for the office of Mayor-designate said he was next in line, was beaten by Ald. Ivor Crockford by eight votes to four.

Although Tenby Borough Council anticipated spending less in 1966-67 than in the current year, rates in town were to be increased by at least 1s.8d.

Narberth’s new postmaster was Mr. S. G. Harries, the postmaster of Wem, Shropshire.

Tribute to the pioneer sportsmen of 40 years ago who founded Tenby bowling green and provided such a fine amenity for the town and its tourist trade was paid by the Deputy Mayor, Clr. D. Colwyn Williams, at the annual dinner of Tenby Bowling Club.

Meanwhile, to say that bowls was an old man’s game was nothing but a fallacy, said Saundersfoot Bowling Club captain, Mr. Tom Osborne, at the club’s annual dinner at the Cambrian Hotel. To support his argument, when the trophies were presented, young men in their teens and early 20s, for the second successive year, figured prominently in the awards.

Members of Tenby Conservative Club gave their officials and committee a resounding vote of confidence at the club’s annual meeting. Mr. R. H. Farley was returned unopposed as president and Mr. John Ormond (chairman) and Mr. R. Bodill (vice-chairman) won their contests for these offices by good majorities.

Mr. Fred Fry, policeman-turned-businessman, of the South Beach Hotel, was the new chairman of Tenby United Rugby Club.

Cup-holders Tenby United beat Narberth 8-nil to claim a place in the last four.
