Videoconferences with Welsh authors

We have enjoyed working with the Welsh Video Network to put on a series of events with authors across Wales. Using videoconferencing we have been able to link schools with FE and HE for an audience with Bethan Gwanas on 4 November, Mererid Hopwood on 18 November and Rachel Trezise on 9 December. One of our events had the honour of being the 2008th event during the 2008 National Year of Reading in Wales, and yesterday we were invited to the Assembly to meet Jane Hutt, Minister for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills.
