A growing number of Aberdare people are Skip Diving as part of a healthier lifestyle.
We have added a smorgasbord of skip diving photos for apprentice divers to test their wits.
Which skips are worth a second look ? Which might contain treasure and pearls ?
Aberdare throbs with installation Art exhibitions.
The Arts Council should take more interest in the Valleys.
A free installation art exhibition was held recently in Whitcombe Street, Aberdare, at the back of Woolworths and nearby Croci’s Cafe.
The name of the exhibition was ‘Labourer fills Skip… Brick by Brick’.
The Artist in question wished to remain anonymous. He spent around two days preparing his exhibit which lasted but a few fleeting hours.
An inspiring exhibition.

Aberdare Health Centre has been having some sort of a clear-out in the past few weeks.
Five of the resident doctors at the Health Centre retired on the same day in January 2007… it looks like the fresh faces are sprucing up their new offices!
Last week there was a nice metal filing cabinet destined for the dump. In today’s skip (see photo) there is an office desk in good condition.
It’s such a pity to see so many items of re-useable and re-cyclable furniture thrown away like this …
It can strike a man or woman with such force and come down sudden from heaven like the elements.
Snow, wind, or rain will not hold back the desire to dive for cast-off pearls and treasures.
In Cwmbach yesterday it struck in the snow – see the photograph.
