The present photographers from the Port Talbot Photo project were very glad to welcome Michael Sheen, well-known UK actor and local from Port Talbot, today. He came to visit our exhibition, In The Winds' Wakes, and shared his thoughts and opinions about the displayed work. He said it was great to see the town through "fresh eyes".
We would like to thank him again for showing interest, coming and talking with all of us, and giving support to the town and community. He is a very nice person!

URGENT: Today between 11:20am and 11:50am, 2 of those books were taken by mistake from a table covered with cards and posters, upstairs at the Aberafan Shopping Centre. Those books are not free and should not have been taken away. Can you please share this message and ask anyone who could have seen anything. We woud just like to have them back, so if the people could just bring them up to us by next Tuesday, that could be great. Thank you very much!
