Woman's venue hunt lands her dream job
A woman who went searching for the perfect venue for her teenage daughter to practise baton twirling said the sport has changed her life.
SLOT games are known to be popular with bettors all over the world because they are easy to play and can be played anytime, anywhere, and are low investment, but offer relatively high profits.
Kelly Lewis-Bennett, 40, from Carmarthenshire, found the venue in Canolfan Carwyn Leisure Centre and not long after was asked to run it.
She left school with no GCSEs and said she never dreamed it could happen.
Her enthusiasm and ideas impressed the sports centre executives there and, as she said: "We all started talking."
Baton twirling, a mixture of gymnastics and dance, has been popular since the 1970s.
During lockdowns, professionals in the sport were given elite athletic status, which meant they could train.
However, when Covid struck, Kelly, a committee member with Baton Twirling Association Cymru (BTAC), had to work hard to keep the sport in her 16-year-old daughter Stephanie's life.
"We really struggled for a hall for her," she said.
"Stephanie was given elite athlete status, but that didn't necessarily mean that she could train because we still struggled to find a hall that was suitable.
"During those hard times in Covid, she couldn't do anything. She was training in car parks and we had to think about that and about our other members too, we had to find somewhere to support them more."
It was then that Kelly hit upon the idea of taking over a sports centre in Drefach.
