Wyndham Edwards devoted much of his life to the Powell’s Tillery Institute as both a member of their gymnastics section and a sports instructor. He was part of the Powell’s team that won the Welsh Gymnastics Championship regularly in the immediate post-World War I years, and then into the 1920s. He was also part of their team that reached the Adams Shield final for the British Team Championship in 1922.
Edwards was a keen pigeon fancier, and added many cups to his already impressive list of gymnastic trophies. He won trophies with his birds in races from as far afield as the north of Scotland and the north of Spain.
