IN 2009 Torfaen Playschemes held the Ultimate Beach Party in Pontypool Park. Taking place during the August school holidays, children had a blast playing beach games and making friends. Almost 1,000 children attended the event along with young volunteers who gave their spare time to support the service. Here's a look back at the day.
