The vision to bring IT to remote rural areas in Ceredigion is a goal now realised by South Wales WEA. Due its large geographical area, the region had proved difficult to penetrate, what with the logistics of supplying sufficient laptops and sourcing the services of qualified tutors willing to travel to this relatively remote area.

However to run classes he needed a partner, and being a long time supporter of the work of the WEA felt it was the ideal organisation with which to work.
What followed can only be described as a frenzy of activity. Bilingual promotional posters were delivered by hand to newsagents’ shops, Post Offices and Libraries in the County, in a bid to reach potential learners. In line with the WEAs democratic approach to learning the aim was to hold a number of taster sessions in order to consult with learners and gauge response to the proposed IT classes.Subsequently, WEA tutor Eleanor Jones was contacted. . .
