The opening ceremony was also attended by The Honourable Robin Lewis OBE DL Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed, Thomas Lloyd OBE DL High Sherriff of Dyfed, and The Mayor of Pembroke Dock, Andrew McNaughton and Mrs Jane McNaughton.
The weekend events were made possible by the support of Chevron Pembroke Refinery and Pembrokeshire County Council.

This is a wonderful achievement for this town which now has a modern community centre fit for its needs. We are now ready to take on the new challenges identified in the Pembroke 2020 consultation and the new community plan”.
