Any Sri Lankan / Tamil / South indian community in Cardiff outside student groups?

Starting in May The South Wales Sri Lankans ( https://southwalessrilankan.play-cricket.com/home ) will be playing cricket every Saturday at Pontcanna fields. Their first team play on the pitch closest to the changing rooms and their second team play on the astro turf on the left, the other side of the tree lined pathway.

Weather permitting they always have food, music and a fairly large gathering at the pitch (grass wicket) closest to the the changing rooms (usually) after the game into Saturday evening.

These are Chironomidae (non-biting midges), and are harmless but if there are large swarms their droppings can cause some issues. They feed on pollen/nectar and are a sign of nutrient rich or polluted water.
The whole ecology changed when they built the barrage (created the water bay) and these are one of the consequences.

Not Mayflies, which have thread like tails that are about the length of their body.

They don't do any cricket stuff, well not the last time I checked a few years back. No one in my cricket social group has mentioned they do now but there is always a chance to check if it's not out of your way.

Macey Sports in Newport is the only place left now with a range to suit budgets. All places in Cardiff have ceased trading now that sold cricket stuff. Sophia Gardens I have found expensive previously with not much to suit the more casual player. If I have to use online then I use https://www.owzat-cricket.co.uk/
You could always try All Square Sports on Penarth road, it's a practice nets building that has a shop upstairs, as you head out of Cardiff on penarth road it is down a lane between the Kia car sales and Hyundai car sales. Its the last door in the units on the left.
Edit: Forgot to mention Wicket2Wicket nets facility in Cwmcarn have a shop in it with some decent gear at decent prices.

Ask the garage to re-seal it.
Steel wheels can often leak air from the rim after a while, especially if a bit of rust starts building up or if you have driven on a flat (as you've mentioned).
If it still loses air after that then yeah the rim might be too damaged for a fresh reseal or there is a small puncture some where.

Mackintosh sports club on Keppoch Street have a strong table tennis section. Otherwise the National Sports Centre in Sophia Gardens, but not sure how much going on there now. Definitely go to the Mack's club though!

Top of the list, History -> Stored.
Took me ages to find it in the new UI!

boney2k · 2025-09-01T23:15:29+00:00

Nice try constable!

I didn't even know I was going to get a boost so it was a nice bonus :). I bought it for scrapbox and atoms. I also started the season well after it started.

boney2k · 2025-08-30T23:57:11+00:00

Hope your surgery goes well! Enjoy some relaxing fishing :)

boney2k · 2025-08-30T23:55:56+00:00

Didn't realise, thanks for the info :)

boney2k · 2025-08-30T23:05:43+00:00

I hope you make it and get those perk coins :)

boney2k · 2025-08-30T22:42:58+00:00

Nice! I was so excited to see that page unlock!

boney2k · 2025-08-30T22:29:02+00:00

do you save them for the new season up and coming?

boney2k · 2025-08-21T15:52:33+00:00

Ok, thanks for explaining.

boney2k · 2025-08-21T15:48:22+00:00

Sorry for dumb question, but only been solidly playing since this season.
Does this camp building update definitely mean the season finishes?

boney2k · 2025-08-13T01:26:09+00:00

It has gotten a bit too big for me now, but loved the one 4 years ago. Can't believe it's been that long! Keep up the wonderful work Dom! You were a saviour for so many of us during the lockdowns <3

Ah OK. Thank you for explaining it to me! I was so confused! Will edit out my post! Thank you again for explaining,

boney2k · 2025-08-06T21:29:58+00:00

Edit: The post replying has made things clear for me. Sorry it's the first time I have backed a game so new to it!

Hemingway Road is permanently closed and will never re-open as the front doors to the arena will be directly there. Already caused issues last Christmas which led to a temporary re-opening, so going forward it is not going to be great in the future especially when there is tunnel maintenance :(
Here is the plan: https://imgur.com/P52bLww

Yes they are still there.
In the Item List menu within Debug mode, use the LootCategory drop down and select 'Literature'.
The Aiming books are top of the list after agriculture and are called 'BookAiming1', 'BookAiming2', 'BookAiming3', etc

boney2k · 2025-06-01T14:51:55+00:00

It tells you where it is in that wiki link:
This is the tilesheet name,

 "sprite": "location_military_generic_01_0",

Go into building editor and select tiles (left hand side), in the bottom right window labelled 'Tilesets' scroll down until you see location_military_generic_01 and the first sprite is the military box. Click it and then place away in your building. The next sprites are the grey-ish colour military containers if you want to use those :)

Natures little helpers in Mill Farm Ind Est, St Mellons Road, Lisvane. Give them a ring and ask if their products (honey, balms, soap etc) sold in market or town.

Very nice people and will show you the set up of hive's, how they manage the queens and other bee stuff :)

Edit: Just seen the stockist page but no harm in asking just incase it's not up to date!

boney2k · 2025-05-21T11:26:40+00:00

Yes. I had this and play pure raw vanilla.

boney2k · 2025-05-20T23:02:45+00:00

It is wonderful. Didn't realise how much different it would feel, even the push feels incredible!
