Pembrokeshire County Show 2021
The DATRIS Project has been working with a group of people from Pembrokeshire Coast National Park; Hywel Dda University Health Board; PAVS and Pembrokeshire County Council to film this year’s County Show. The aim was to record as much of the show as possible so that people who were unable to attend, for whatever reason,…
Training in Hermon
On a wet Wednesday in August I traveled up to Canolfan Hermon in the Preselis to help deliver a training session to community groups on how to make short videos. It was really good to be able to take part in an event in a village hall again, although we had to restrict numbers and…
Hooray for Hywel Dda
A few months ago PLANED was approached by Hywel Dda University Health Board with a request to run a series of podcasts for them. Along with my colleague, Cris Tomos, I spent a lot of time arranging interviews with people who work within the Hywel Dda team. There were seven episodes recorded in all with three…
Haverfordwest Leisure Centre
I spent the bulk of the day today at Haverfordwest Leisure Centre meeting the staff and customers to record two separate podcast episodes for the Pembrokeshire Wellbeing Podcast. The first session was on the climbing wall. I spoke to the lead instructor, Liz Collyer, about the benefits of climbing and she showed me the facilities…
Gwefan Canolfan Llwynihirion
I’ve been working with Sophie and Mark from Canolfan Llwynihirion in Brynberian to help them to set up their new website. The new hall in Brynberian is based in the old village school. It’s only recently been renovated and it is looking very nice indeed. The website itself has been set up in such a…
Pembrokeshire Wellbeing Podcasts
At the start of the year we started some discussions with Pembrokeshire Leisure to explore the possibility of the DATRIS Project hosting a series of podcasts on the subject of wellbeing. Well that has now started and the podcast episodes can be heard here, or you can subscribe to the show through iTunes or Spotify…
Saundersfoot Bay Coal Industry Heritage Film
Before the first lockdown I started to work with a group of people in Saundersfoot to help them to create a film to promote the Saundersfoot Bay Hidden Heritage Coal Trail. We even had a group of young people from Stepaside School to reenact the walk that their counterparts would have done in traveling to…
Film Planning
What a job I have! I’m helping a local history group to develop a short film about the River Cleddau … focusing in particular on the people who have lived in and around Llangwm. I am going to be working with the group to provide drone footage for the film. The film itself will involve…
A New IT System for HaverHub
It’s been a long process but the Old Post Office in the centre of Haverfordwest is nearing the end of its renovation and transformation into HaverHub. You can hear more about HaverHub’s story in my very first podcast almost a year ago to the day (it seems like much longer than that). Working with another project,…
Archaeology Day 2020
Every year Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority supported by PLANED host an Archaeology Day in early November at the Merlin Theatre in Pembrokeshire College. But, of course, the event couldn’t go ahead this year, well not in the same format. Stuart Berry, the Echoes of the Past project officer at PLANED and Tomos Jones, Pembrokeshire Coast…
