Tenby Town Council and the Showmen’s Guild failed to reach agreement - and it was now almost certain that St. Margaret’s Fair would once again be without major amusements this year. The Guild had offered the council £200 in excess of the total takings for the 1967 fair for exclusive rights of Butts Field this time. But that had been refused.

Tenby United were completing their most successful rugby season for years on a record-breaking note. Having added the District Sevens Cup to the Pembrokeshire League and Knockout trophies, they had now broken a club scoring record. Some brilliant tries in their league match with Narberth at Heywood Lane raised their points tally for the season to 326. This topped the previous highest of 320 achieved some seasons previously under the captaincy of Mervyn Tucker. The side was skippered by Mike Fry, son of the club chairman, Clr. Fred Fry. Another record-breaking scoring performance was achieved by the club’s flying wing, young Dennis Stone, of Kilgetty. Dennis, in his first season of senior rugby since leaving Greenhill School, scored over 29 tries, which broke Owen Morse’s previous record of 28.
