NEATH PORT TALBOT

Neath Port Talbot Writing Squads

Neath Port Talbot’s English language Squad was established in collaboration with Neath Port Talbot County Council at the end of 2008. For 2010, NPT hopes to increase the numbers of places available in the English Squad and a Welsh language Squad will be set up by the end of 2009. Recruitment for the new Welsh Squad is currently in progress. For more information about NPT Writing Squads, please contact Tracy Evans on: tracyifans@gmail.com
