CARDIFF Airport has launched a new Buy Now, Collect on Return service to make duty free shopping even easier for travellers, as well as welcoming two new brands to its tax and duty free shop.
Creators of handcrafted fine Welsh Gold jewellery, Clogau Gold, and popular active lifestyle clothing and accessories retailer, Fat Face, have joined the brands on offer at Cardiff Airport’s Nuance Tax and Duty Free shop.
Nuance at Cardiff Air-port has also launched a new Buy Now, Collect on Return service which will allow customers to browse the tax free selection, pur-chase the items in store then pick them up on their return journey through the airport. The service is avail-able to customers travelling to destinations within the
EU, including the UK.Jon Horne, chief executive
of Cardiff Airport, said: “We’re very pleased to wel-come these two leading Brit-ish brands to the already extensive collection of big names on offer at Nuance. As the national airport of Wales we’re proud to show-case the range of bespoke and high end products avail-able from Welsh businesses and craft specialists, so Clogau Gold is a particular-ly good fit.”
Martyn Scarf, Nuance’s area manager comments: “We are delighted to see the latest developments to come to life. The new Collect on Return service is a great opportunity to enhance our
services to customers fly-ing back to Cardiff and the launch of Clogau Gold and Fat Face demonstrates our continuous aim to bring ex-citing brands to our custom-ers.
“Together with Cardiff Airport we have been work-ing closely in order to drive and develop the retail offer to meet the needs of the cus-tomers at the airport.”
Clogau Gold has already been featured at Cardiff Airport as part of a prod-uct showcase wall which presents creations from business across Wales, from Halen Mon Sea Salt and Penderyn Whisky to Alison Tod hats. The product show-case is one of a collection of multimedia installations designed to communicate everything Wales has to of-fer, in terms of industry, cul-ture, geography, history and everything in between.
Grant provides Nova with training boost
VOLUNTEERS at a Barry charity shop will be able to take the path to paid employ-ment thanks to a donation from a national charity.
Nova – ValePlus’ shop on Barry High Street – has taken delivery of some new computers thanks to a £1,454 donation from the Boshier Hinton Foundation, an organ-isation that exists to improve life quality for people with
disabilities or learning diffi-culties, and their families.
Nova trains people with learning disabilities and the computers will help them suc-cessfully complete employer-recognised employability and work right courses.
Service users learn aspects of employment including customer care, teamwork and tackling problems.
Returning learning co-ordi-
nator and Nova deputy man-ager, Mair Venables, said: “We were struggling with di-lapidated computers for them to do their courses.
“We would like to thank them. We really do appreciate this grant as we were strug-gling with old equipment.”
Service user Rebecca Neth-erway, who recently gained her qualification, said: “I re-ally enjoyed it.”

ANITA’S Theatre School will have been established 13 years this year and has been at Windsor Road Church from the beginning.
Due to the church being sold the theatre school has had to move on, but as they say “as one door closes another one opens”.
So from January 11, the school will be moving to the very modern newly refur-bished Castleland Community Centre, Belvedere Crescent, Barry, which is a very central location for everyone.
The school is for children aged four to 17 every Saturday, 2pm-5pm, with qualified and experienced teachers for each
JANUARY is a good time to start a class and for those who have no experience and want to learn the basics a new class will commence shortly on Barry Island.
It will be run by Anwen, a line dancer with 11 years experience who has wit-nessed the changes from country to Latin to pop music and who will provide a good mixture of modern and classic tracks in her class. She says that from her experi-ence most newcomers want a social set-ting in which to learn some basic skills on the dance floor and to do it at their own pace. Health benefits flow as well.
Learning to dance for pleasure and fit-ness is open to all ages and is a marvel-lous way to meet and make new friends from all walks of life.
Learning to line dance with a group of like-minded people can be great fun and the laughter infectious.
If you are interested in this particular ‘tonic’ do come along to the new class which starts on Thursday, January 9, at 7pm or contact 0797 0158601 for details. Classes are held every Thursday evening at the Barry Island Social Club, 11 Red-brink Crescent (opposite Marine Hotel). The club has a sprung dance floor and private car park. The cost is £4 per person and there is no need to book – just come along on the night. You may join a class at any time and a partner is not necessary. Your first class is a half-price taster.
Getting into linediscipline of dance, drama and singing, for 12 week terms.
At the end of every term family and friends can come to watch the students final pres-entation of what they have learnt throughout the term.
No experience is needed to join, just enthusiasm.
The rates are very competi-tive and new students can qualify for a discount with the voucher.
For more information or to secure your child’s place call Anita on 01446 730656 or 07968701355.
Don’t forget to cut out the voucher worth £20 off for new students and also watch out for new classes coming in the
near future such as jazz and street dancing classes and a class to incorpo-rate stage make-up, script writing and prop making.
Dance school makes move
COME to our taster event on Monday, January 13, 7.30pm-9pm, to try this pop-ular country western dance style.
Newcomers and those with two left feet will be surprised at just how easy it is to get started and how pleasurable it is to dance to great music in good com-pany. It may be repeated if sufficient support and enthusiasm is forthcoming – so do make a note in your diary.
Dancing with a partner can be huge fun. Or if you come as a single, we will do our best to match you with someone else on their own.
Many more men support and enjoy Western Partner Dancing than other forms of dance so do come along if you’re a man and add to the friendly so-cial mix. Some dance experience would be an advantage but the willingness to join in and have a go is much more im-portant. All ages are welcome but the event is not suitable for young children. Casual dress and comfortable shoes are fine, trainers are not a good idea.
Admission to this taster event is just £3 per person. The Barry Island Sports & Social Club is the venue and with sensible bar prices, car parking and most of all, a good dance floor, it is the ideal setting in which to relax and learn more about Western Partner Dancing. Barry Island Sports & Social Club, 11 Redbrink Crescent, CF62 5TT. Inquiries contact Malcolm on 07753 413 266.
