The RCT Community Radio project was established as a regeneration and IT project in the communities of Penrhys and Treherbert in the Rhondda and Penywaun in the Cynon Valley. More than 80 local people were directly involved and trained as presenters and other roles. In addition hundreds of local residents and representatives of local organisations were interviewed on a whole range of topics.

Beacon_Girl, I believe that floats are going to be a thing of the past thanks to Health and Safety, :(
That will be such a shame
That will be such a shame not having any floats at the Carnival.
In all the 50 odd years or more the carnival has been going I cannot recall there being any accidents, I may be wrong though.
