1. New email look:

For those subscribers that have been receiving updates for a while, welcome to the new look emails.

We decided on this look due to the increase in subscribers. This method is far easier for the admin team. We hope you like it too.

The brilliant thing about this method is, it's free for us and you can look at the email in your browser if you need to.

If this is your first email update from us, welcome, we hope you enjoy them.

 

2. Taff Rocks workshop updates:

It's sad that we all find ourselves in these current circumstances. In isolation and staying home, not able to go out, unless it's absolutely necessary.

We want you to know that Taff Rocks is safe and well. Our funding for the Aberfan and Merthyr Vale workshops is secure so, when we come out of this the other end, we will still be here and community workshops will begin again.

We hope you are all keeping safe and well.

Our website is still up and running as so is the Facebook Group and Page. Check them out for ideas, news and inspiration.

3. Rock Painting help

We've noticed a brilliant increase in shared rocks in the local community lately. It's so heartwarming to see.

We've also noticed that quite a few of them have nothing on the reverse, leaving finders not sure what to do with them.

Please ensure you have a 'sharing' statement, like the one shown here, on the reverse of your rocks.

By clicking on the image on the right, it will take you to the page in our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) that will help you with this.

You will then be able to follow the progress of your rock via our Facebook Group

4. April Daily Art Challenge

Since the beginning of the month, Taff Rocks has been holding a daily art challenge.

Over on our website you will find a list of what the 'topic of the day is.' 

In these difficult times, your creation doesn't even need to be rock related! What this means is, you can share whatever creative piece you desire over on the Facebook Group (link below).

5. The Critter Conga

It is regrettable that the Critter Conga, originally scheduled for the summer, has been postponed.

If, however, the restrictions are lifted in time to arrange the event, we will let you know as soon as we can.

 

6. Walking-It 2020

The 36 mile sponsored walk, arranged to raise funds for Taff Rocks, has also been postponed and no new date for this has been set at this time.

 

7. Telephone Taff Rocks Tuesday

It's looking as though the workshop due for the first Tuesday in May will also be postponed. However, if you need rock painting help, Niki is considering a 'phone-in' opportunity for you to get the help you need. These will be by appointment.

We have an 0330 telephone number for conference calls. If you (or your child) has anything you want to discuss, rock related, please email us or message us via our Facebook page or Whatsapp and we will send you a meeting PIN as well as a date and time. Let us know the best dates and times for you.

These calls will be recorded for your safety and ours. If your child wishes to ask any questions, they are welcome to. However, the call must be instigated by an adult and then the call, from your side, must be on speaker phone.

We will add links to our messengers at the bottom of this email

 

8. Good News Coming!

Taff Rocks has some exciting news to share but, due to the restrictions on us all, we cannot release it as there is a delay, from the Taff Rocks end and we cannot move forward with it. What we can tell you is that it is very exciting.

We hope to be able to do a press release next month

 

9. Social Media Pages

If we've missed any news that you'd like to be updated on, please message us and we will write something in time for the next update.
