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 spoke to Gareth Davies, the CEO of Tir Dewi at the end of December 2020. In this episode, Gareth describes how his organisation helps people working on farms within Wales. From signposting other organisations to simply being a sympathetic ear to those who need it.

Tir Dewi can be reached via their website: https://www.tirdewi.co.uk/ or by phoning them on: 0800 121 4722
