SIXTEEN Ceredigion athletes, who have gained international honours in their chosen sports, are gearing up to be baton bearers on Thursday, June 30 when the Birmingham 2022 Baton Relay passes through the county on its journey through Wales.
They include Aberaeron cyclist Fin Tarling, Lampeter footballer Casi Gregson, Aberaeron wheelchair basketball player Daniel Berry, Lampeter bowler Melanie Thomas.
Lampeter’s most renowned bowling family are well represented with Alis Butten and her brother Hari acting as bearers alongside their mum, Anwen who is looking forward to competing at her sixth Commonwealth Games.
Joining them will be Ciliau Aeron’s Hawys Medi Richards, of The Vale of Rheidol Railway, in recognition of the contribution volunteers make in the county.
After leaving Aberystwyth, the Baton will then travel to the Gwersyll Llangrannog Urdd Centre at Llangrannog where it will stay overnight before moving onto Pembrokeshire on Friday, July 1.
