Dragon Hunt

Norbert the Dragon

Last updated: 14 March 2008

Welshpool Town Council are thinking up new ways of getting people involved in the town centre. In March 2008 they told us about the Dragon Hunt:

"Norbert, seen above, is a local dragon who has lived in Welshpool for many years in the basement of the Town Hall, every morning he lights the gas fired boilers to keep everyone warm.

He has a large family, 20 in all, and they have all come to stay in Welshpool. However, Norbert does not know where to find them, so Welshpool Town Council is hoping you all can help.

Norbert is seen in the picture above attending the Town Clerks Office to plea for help in finding his family. He did some lovely toast while there.

Available on the back of the Welshpool Tourist booklet are the clues to the locations of Norbert's family, hunt them all down and put their names in the boxes.

When you have done that you need to return it to the Town Clerks Office (opposite the Town Hall) either by post or by hand (9am to 2.30pm weekdays) where you can claim your Certificate signed by the Mayor of Welshpool and the Town Clerk.

Idris the Dragon

This picture is one of his family, his name is Idris (known to help out with Jones the Steam or Ivor the Engine).

Good luck."
