The Boys' Brigade was founded in Glasgow on 4th October 1883 by Sir William Alexander Smith. From this one Company formed in Scotland the BB has grown in to a world wide movement having worked with millions of children and young people for well over a century. From the age of 5, boys can have lots of fun doing different activities which include making things, crafts, music, games, sports, stories, going on visits, making friends, and working towards their badges.All of this is done as part of a balanced programme that is separated into 5 different zones . . . •Body - fit for fun •Mind - think and do •Spirit - God and me •Community - me and my world •Creativity - make and do All sections (Anchor, Junior, Company and Senior) have a special uniform that they can wear. As everyone wears the same thing they feel as though they belong. However nobody is excluded because they do not have the right clothes.

Bethel Baptist Church is a warm, family friendly, evangelical church in beautiful surroundings of Llantwit Major in South Wales.

No discussion of important Welsh churches would be complete without a mention of St Illtud's in Llantwit Major, from which the town takes its name (Welsh - Llanilltud Fawr - the large community of Illtud). John Wesley, himself, described it as being abundantly large and beautiful, and 200 years on no-one would wish to disagree with him. The church is notable not only for its connections with the 6th century Celtic saint, but also for the fact that from Illtud's llan (community) a number of other major figures of the Celtic church were sent, including Samson of Dôl. The church has among its features: spectacular medieval wall paintings, a carved stone 'Jesse niche' and medieval reredos, Celtic stones dating back to the 8th century, squints, and a wonderful 15th century oak roof in the western part of the church. The building is very obviously in two parts; the eastern end would have been used by the monks of the community, the western part by the people of the town. The two parts together give the church an extraordinary length and elegance. Words or pictures alone cannot do justice the splendour of the church in Llantwit - one must visit in order to gain full insight into its importance. St Illtud's importance is recognised by the fact that it is a Grade 1 listed building. A full description of this church can be found in the book 'Medieval Churches of the Vale of Glamorgan' by Geoffrey Orrin, published by D. Brown.
