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.

The PLANED Podcast

PLANED's aim is to engage local people in South West Wales in improving their quality of life -- culturally, socially, environmentally and economically. This Podcast is an opportunity for the stories and voices of the many people associated with PLANED to be heard.

I went to Porth y Rhaw, just outside of Solva, to visit Fran Murphy and her team from Dyfed Archaeological Trust as they excavated an Iron Age promontory fort. It’s an impressive place, you can hear visitors being shown around the site at one point and, of course, the wind and waves crashing below us all the way through.
