Digital Discussions in Penally

27 November 2018 Off By admin

This Saturday morning (24th November) I held an event in Penally Village Hall to discuss opportunities for starting information technology projects there. We had a lot to talk about and the people who attended came up with some excellent suggestions.

I think some people expected that a lack of reliable internet connection would mean that projects wouldn’t be able to happen in the village but we managed to produce a a list of viable projects that we could start after Christmas:

Train youngsters to create a video to promote short mat bowls to others of their generation
A drone view of the village and its trenches
An interactive presentation/record of village voices
A computer confidence coffee morning … maybe at the newly-refurbished local pub

Although not essential, it was pointed out that the village would benefit from having a good internet connection in the hall.

Gareth ‘Gaz’ Owens is well known in Haverfordwest for being one of the founder members of that excellent coffee and clothing shop: Get The Boys A Lift. Well now he’s started a new venture called ‘Second Chance Caravan’ and in this episode he talks about mental health, positivity and how he hopes to use the caravan as a chance for people who have fallen out of the employment loop to get back into work.
