This is a great archive! As a 28 year old from Ferndale, I would love to see more of The Rhondda that I can just about remember. Please upload more if you can.

I went to Valley Aid, It was an absolutely scorching day and I had quite a lot of beer. Fell asleep, got sunburn, lost my watch playing an impromptu game of rugby, went home, fell asleep again, woke up just in time to get cleaned up and go to Charmond's night club, and pulled a gorgeous 23 yr old (I was 20). Happy days.

No unfortunately funding ran out in 88/89 - not sure what happened to the rest of the archive - this material came from copies made as showreels
