Blue Lagoon at Bluestone to open for one day only this month
Bluestone's Blue Lagoon Water Park will welcome the public for a special evening during the May half-term holidays.
All proceeds from the event will go to Milford Youth Matters, a charity that helps young people in Pembrokeshire.
The event will take place on Tuesday, May 27, and is part of the Bluestone Foundation's community events programme.
It will give up to 600 people the chance to enjoy an evening at the water park while raising money for a good cause.
The event will also show the foundation's commitment to supporting environmental, economic, and social projects across Pembrokeshire.
This will be the third Blue Lagoon fundraiser of the year.
The first two events raised a total of £7,854 for the Megan Starr Foundation in February and Fishguard and Goodwick's Young Person's Trust (POINT) in April.
The Bluestone Foundation is the charitable arm of Bluestone National Park Resort.
It was set up to make a difference and supports the ethos of Bluestone.
The foundation celebrates the county and its people, helps build economic growth, and creates social opportunities in Pembrokeshire.
Since it was set up in 2010, the foundation has given more than £250,000 to various charities.
Milford Youth Matters is a youth charity that helps young people aged 11-25.
It provides vocational training, volunteering, and work-based learning opportunities, as well as social activities.
The charity has helped more than 500 young people in the area.
Dayle Gibby, Milford Youth Matters co-ordinator, said: "We're all about investing in young people.
"The support from the Bluestone Foundation means we can evolve and try new activities, reach new audiences, and remove financial barriers that often stand in the way of young people's development.
"In recent years, we have developed a good relationship with Bluestone, and with many of the young people we support now working there, it's a great example of the work we do to equip them with the tools needed for employment whilst keeping it within the local area.
"We are so grateful for this opportunity."
Mike Slack from the Bluestone Foundation said: "We're looking forward to hosting the third Bluestone Foundation event of the year during the half term break.
"These events have so far proved to be a success – not only do local families enjoy an evening of fun at the Blue Lagoon, but money raised will also contribute towards funds given to chosen charities.
"Milford Youth Matters is a fantastic example of what community-led support can achieve, and we're proud to be playing a small part in their continued success."
The next Blue Lagoon event will take place on Tuesday, May 27, at 5.30pm.

Ange Postecoglou next job, sacked by Tottenham, Al-Ahli move, reports, rumours
Don't miss out on the headlines from Football. Followed categories will be added to My News. Ange Postecoglou's next job may be with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, according to reports from The Telegraph. The Asian Champions League winners may be on the hunt for a new manager with current boss Matthias Jaissle possibly set to return to Europe. The German has been linked with Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig, and was previously among the contenders for the West Ham gig in the English Premier League before Graham Potter was appointed by the East London club.

Picture:Matthias Jaissle possibly may return to Europe. Picture:Should Jaissle depart, Postecoglou is believed to be Al-Ahli's target as replacement. A squad, which includes the likes of former Liverpool attacker Roberto Firmino, former Leicester and Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez, former Brentford striker Ivan Toney and former Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, hoisted the AFC Champions League trophy aloft in May after defeating Japanese side Kawasaki 2-0 in the final. But, they finished fifth in the Saudi Pro League, 16 behinds champions Al-Ittihad, who boasts former Real Madrid goal scoring machine Karim Benzema, former Leicester and Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante and one-time Liverpool midfielder Fabinho among their ranks. Postecoglou is tipped to receive offers from several clubs throughout the northern hemisphere after his sacking from Tottenham. Winning the Europa League trophy, ending Spurs 17-year trophy drought, and 41-year year European trophy drought, proved once again that the Australian is a manager who can deliver success. Upon his two-year spell with Tottenham coming to an end off the back of a poor league campaign, Postecoglou did not announce his future plans. Taking on the Al-Ahli job would be a return to Asian football for the 59-year-old, having previously won Japan's top flight with Yokohama F. Marinos before winning the domestic treble with Scottish giants Celtic. Originally published as Hint over Ange Postecoglou's next club after Tottenham sacking, link to big-money suitor emerges

Arizona Cardinals offseason: 5 takeaways from minicamp, offseason program
The Arizona Cardinals are done with their offseason program and off until the start of training camp. They completed their three days of mandatory minicamp this week after two weeks of Phase 1 strength and conditioning workouts, three weeks of Phase 2 football work and two weeks of OTAs. The Cardinals had great participation and overall good health, from what we know. Advertisement But what can we take away from the offseason work the Cardinals had? Takeaways from Arizona Cardinals' offseason program The team is healthy While a handful of players were limited in action in practices, by and large, it was all players coming off of injuries last season. They avoided any new injuries, which is key. It appears that every one should be ready to go once training camp roles around in a few weeks. No drama Everyone was in attendance when they needed to be. No one said anything outlandish. There have been no contract issues. Since Jonathan Gannon became head coach, offseason work has been steadily boring, the way it should be. Youngsters bulking up The Cardinals' 2024 rookie class has come into the offseason program bigger and stronger. Receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and defensive lineman Darius Robinson came in noticeably yoked. Running back Trey Benson said he added about seven pounds of bulk in the offseason and guard Isaiah Adams has gotten stronger as he is on track to be the starting right guard. Impressive defensive depth This is from their moves in free agency. The defensive line runs eight deep right now with a mix of proven veterans and promising high-end youth. The outside linebacker room went now is Josh Sweat, Zaven Collins, BJ Ojulari, Baron Browning plus youth!

Angry Rory McIlroy narrowly survives cut at US Open
An angry Rory McIlroy needed a birdie on the last hole of his second round to make the cut at the US Open. McIlroy said before the tournament that he needed to shake off the hangover of his epic Masters win at Augusta National in April, but he could not have chosen a harder place to do that. The brutal Oakmont course in Pittsburgh has been chewing up and spitting out the best players in the world and McIlroy is one of them. Frustration boils over for Rory McIlroy after his approach shot on the 12th 😡 — Sky Sports Golf (@SkySportsGolf) June 13, 2025 After a four-over-par 74 on Thursday, McIlroy had hopes of fighting back into contention in the second round, but he again struggled to tame the course, posting two double bogeys in the opening three holes. Such was his frustration, he launched his club in anger at the 12th hole after sending another shot into the unforgiving rough before smashing a tee marker on the 17th when finding the bunker. He produced some magic on the 18th with a stunning approach shot to five feet and converted for a birdie to reach six-under-par which keeps him around for the weekend. Whether he will be pleased about that or not is another story entirely and he will not be challenging for the title come Sunday night. See you this weekend, Rory. Our 2011 champion will make the cut at Oakmont. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 2025 His late birdie did not quell the frustration enough for him to speak to the media as he skipped post-round duties for the sixth successive round at a major. American Ryder Cup player Sam Burns tops the leaderboard, making a mockery of everyone else's struggles with a head-scratching five-under-par 65. 'I didn't really think of much of a score before. The golf course is really too difficult to try to figure out what's a good score and what's not,' Burns said. 'You're really just shot by shot and trying to play each hole the best you can. 'There's obviously a lot of golf left on a very tough golf course. It's a 72-hole golf tournament, and if you can get a round under par out here, no matter if it's one under, you'll take it.' Burns sits one shot clear of first-round leader JJ Spaun, who carded a two-over 72 to sit on two-under-par. Spaun said: 'I knew it would be hard to back up a bogey-free four-under at Oakmont in the US Open. So I'm just glad that I kept it together. I'm two over today, but given where we are that's a pretty good score.' It is no wonder the players have been calling the terrifying Pennsylvania course Transylvania as Viktor Hovland, at one-under-par, is the only other player under par at the halfway mark of the tournament. World number one Scottie Scheffler reckons he is still in the mix, despite sitting seven shots off the lead. Scheffler, who was seen angrily remonstrating with his coach after his round, carded a 71 to sit four-over-par but is not ruling himself out. 'It felt like me getting away with one over today wasn't all that bad. It could have been a lot worse,' he said. Bryson's quest for a third U.S. Open 🏆 has come to an end in 2025. He will miss the cut at +10. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 2025 'I'm definitely not out of the tournament. Today I think with the way I was hitting it, it was easily a day I could have been going home, but I battled pretty hard to stay in there.' There have been plenty of high-profile casualties, none more so than defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, who will go home after finishing on a bruising 10-over-par. Justin Rose, Shane Lowry, Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood and Gary Woodland also get the weekend off. It could also be a farewell to the US Open for Phil Mickelson, who could not fina a birdie at the final hole to make the cut. Mickelson admits he is unlikely to play this tournament again unless he can win next month's Open at Portrush or hope for a USGA exemption.
