Comment by Rhisiart. Morgan on December 2, 2014 at 8:28: Yr Hyddgen are looking for Bilingual performers in June for Maindee. (Newport) festival which is a multi-cultural (world) festival but could perhaps do with some Welsh culture too! If you want to work with our group Yr Hyddgen and the Congress Theatre Cwmbran, please contact me on Yrhyddgencymru@gmail.com..:-)

Comment by Simon Coates on November 25, 2014 at 3:59: Hi Gillian

I'm sorry that you weren't impressed by the Huddle yesterday. It's important to know that it was the first event of a series of four that are designed to pilot the initiative. I'm already planning the changes for next time so your comments will be taken into consideration.

I asked Laura to present due to her experience of establishing and running her business in different ways (sole trader/ company ltd etc). As we are not a training provider it was important to me that she speak from her personal experience in an effort to give people, with limited experience, an idea of the potential pros and cons. I think her presentation did a great job of highlighting that information. People were then also sign posted to other organisations who are best placed to offer the bespoke training that you might be looking for. Including Business in Wales and CULT Cymru. CULT Cymru also have a skills survey that they use to find out what type of training people are looking for, which can be found on their website.

We have received a lot of very positive feedback from other members of the group who were there for the day. I hope you will join us for another of the Huddles in the future.

Comment by Gillian Brightmore on November 24, 2014 at 21:13: It was a pity, I felt that yesterday Laura Drane's experience only related to her time of starting- up over ten years ago ,and therefore not relevant to our current situation in 2000's as , 'creatives' in a time of severe austerity.

I would be glad of any feedback from the team about this event as I felt the facilitation by Simon was rather ,'lack lustre;' to say the last.

After all NTW is heavily funded by the Welsh taxpayer and so should attempt at least to relate to the,'real' world, should it not ?

Kind regards,Gillian K.Brigtmore.
