Ive been aware of this since I joined the board, but what is it actually?
Hala (from the Anglo-Saxon word "halh", meaning nook or remote valley), until it was gifted by King Henry II to Welsh Prince David Owen and became known as Halas Owen

Would have gone for the 24th (same as I've got at work) but noticed that's gone -
So let's make it the 22nd this year.
