We would like to thank everyone who came to support us at the Royal Welsh Show.  The event was a great success with the Hair & Beauty department raising £73.47 for Bracken Trust by offering visitors various treatments, including facial massages, hair plaiting and nail polishing.

The Catering department also made cheese sticks and fruit sticks for visitors to try, as well as decorated cupcakes.

In addition, the beauty department were kept busy at the BBC Cymru building where they were painting nails in a mock up of ‘Salon Cheryl’, which is from the popular Welsh language soap ‘Pobol y Cwm’.

Thank you once again for your support at this event.

Coleg Powys is providing a series of demonstrations on stand D302 at this year’s Royal Welsh. On each morning between 10am and 12pm, staff and students from the hair and beauty department will be demonstrating their skills through a range of activities, including massage, plaiting and twisting, indian head massage, nail filing and polishing, fitness work and reflexology.  Treatments will be offered to members of the public with donations going to The Bracken Trust.

Staff and students from the catering department will also be providing some demonstrations on the Thursday at 10.30am-12pm and 1pm-2.30pm.  They will be decorating cupcakes and producing Welsh cheese sticks with local organic fruit and vegetables.

You will also find some of our beauty students at the BBC Cymru Wales building throughout the week, where they will be offering nail shaping and polishing for a donation of £3 for Children in Need.  They will be doing the treatments in a mock-up of ‘Salon Sheryl’, which is from the popular Welsh language soap ‘Pobol y Cwm’.

Please come and support us at stand D302 and the BBC Cymru Wales building.

Staff will also be available throughout the week to provide information about courses.

Colegau Cymru has kindly allowed us to be part of their stand this year, along with four other colleges from Wales.
