tyddynmon.co.uk Stories by the Trainees We are looking to get as many of the trainees as possible involved with future issues of the newsletter by contributing their own stories, below are two stories by Graham Roberts that were written for the first issue of our housing newsletter. My trip to Cardiff for the Welsh games By Graeme Roberts The games took place in Cardiff July 8-11th, we drove down in a minibus and stayed in the university. The first night we went to Cardiff City stadium for a meal and disco, I had to wear my suit. The following day I took part in the javelin which I won a gold medal for and the shot put which I won a silver medal. That night we had another meal and disco with all the athletes. On the 3rd day it was the swimming competition, I did the breaststroke and won a gold. As it was the last night we had a fancy dress party and the blues brothers performed. The following morning after breakfast we headed home. I really enjoyed the games and I’m looking forward to next years competition in Bangor. Congratulations to Graeme and all the other athletes that took part in the games on their fantastic achievements. Graeme with his medals from the Welsh games Trip to Cardiff for an advocacy conference By Graeme Roberts Myself and 4 friends travelled to Cardiff in a minibus with 3 people from advocacy, we stayed in a nice hotel in Cardiff Bay where the conference was being held. The first night we went to a nice restaurant called Demiro’s and the waiters are Italian opera singers, I had a pizza it was delicious! On the Monday morning the conference began and lasted all day, we spoke about work and if we enjoyed our jobs. Later that night we went bowling and played pool. The next day we went to the conference and recapped what we’d discussed the previous day, we returned home later that day. 6 Tyddyn Môn Newsletter - Nov/ Dec 2014
