25th Annivesary of the Miners' Strike 1984-85

I went along to an event in Onllwyn miners' Welfare Hall on Saturday to mark the 25th Annivesary of Strike. I felt privileged to meet so many people who fought for our communities. Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales interviewed Mair Francis, Christine Powell and Susan Owen at DOVE last week about their experiences of the Strike, the interview was aired this morning and makes very interesting listening, well done women!

Fantastic Fun Filming with Rhodri and Boyd

Lots of excitment at DOVE yesterday, Rhodri Thomas and his good friend Boyd Clack were filming in the Sarn Helen Garden. Rhodri works for Cynnal Cymru and the idea is to produce a programme that deals with environmental sustainability through the use of humour and the media. If yesterday was anything to go by the idea has potential. Please look out for the short film on our website and send in your comments. Thanks to Maesmarchog Year 5 pupils and the horticulture class for taking part, I hope you all had fun. I was very impressed by the skills of the film crew and of course the actors, and we wish them luck for the pilot.
