So after four hectic, exciting and at times tense democratic Assembly projects, we have decided to up the anti and create our first ever SuperAssembly.  We want to create an event which will culminate in a conversation with national and international resonance.

The Assembly in its second year, became a series of bespoke, democratically-elected events which took in four areas of…

This October, National Theatre Wales and the Dutch rural theatre company PeerGrouP are returning to Rhayader for the third stage of their research and development project, Rrrrriot.

This will be lead artist Henry J. Alles’ second visit to Rhayader.  Last autumn, he stayed in the village for the second phase of the project and became a big fan of the town. You may have seen him playing drums and guitar in one of the town’s pubs, climbing mountains, working in the Lion Royal…

On the 9th of July 2012 NTW will welcome Brazilian theatre makers Grupo XIX de Teatro.

Once again the voting culminated in a nail biting finish with proposal 10- Glynllifon emerging victors.  A beautiful country park which needs a conversation about accessibility and ownership.  With many exciting and interesting resources and a picturesque setting, Assembly 04 promises to be a great event in the making.  Also proposal 9 from Gisda, which finished 7 votes off the mark might get involved in helping deliver Assembly 04, making it a happy finish for all.  Now the challenge is to…

Assembly 04 needs your votes.  We have three great projects with issues ranging from use of beautiful local public park, homelessness amongst young people and ecology vs economy.  All three will create some very interesting conversations, however only one can be delivered, tell us which one!

Vote for Assembly 04

Also if you would like to find out more about what is going on with Assembly 03…

After an amazing and very close finish to voting both online and through written petitions for Assembly 03 we eventually had a winner.  The three proposals were of great promise and touched on very important local issues.  Towards the end proposal 6 and 7 powered ahead and local support and campaigning reached fever pitch, however there can only be one winner and on this occasion it was the Machynlleth with the question 'What happens when a supermarket comes to town?'
