PENSIONERS at a South Pembrokeshire care home didn’t let the recent
cancellation of Ironman Wales dampen their enthusiasm for the
event.
Instead, they enjoyed a fabulous celebration taking part in various
sporty activities in the grounds.
Staff at the private residential care home in Saundersfoot even put up
a mock finishing line – complete with a clock displaying finishing
times.
This year’s IRONMAN Wales event, which has been held in Tenby for
several years, was unfortunately cancelled due to Covid-19.
"We were delighted to see the residents at Pencoed Care Home keep
the IRONMAN spirit alive. We can't wait to come back in 2021 where
the support is truly special" said Declan Byrne, the event’s Regional
Director for the UK and Ireland.
Pembrokeshire County Councillor, Tessa Hodgson, Cabinet Member
for Social Services, praised the celebrations at Pencoed.
“What a wonderful way to celebrate Ironman,” she said. “It’s fantastic
to see the enthusiasm of staff and residents alike.”
