They had informal discussions with Wendy Cope and John & Carol Powell on a 'question and answer' basis, discovering the impact of changes on the Mumbles area, with emphasis on the role of local history in creating a 'sense of community' and a 'sense of place' in Mumbles.They studied the influence on the locality of the demise of the oyster and quarrying industries and the rise of tourism during the Victorian era. Also the work of Oystermouth Historical Association & Mumbles Development Trust, how the history centre came into being and why we do what we do. They finished by looking at the possible trends of Mumbles in the future.

Subject: Names in your Cell Phone BEWARE Be careful how you list names on your cell phone. A lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her mobile, Credit card, purse...etc.... was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her husband, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I've Just received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.' When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen hand phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account. Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, sweetheart, Dad, Mom etc....... And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back. Also, when you're being texted by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you .. Kids should also be made aware of this. MOUNT ZION HALL, MUMBLES ROAD, MUMBLES The newly refurbished church hall of the Christadelphian Ecclesia will be open for public viewing on Thurday 8th May and Saturday 10th May between 10.00 am and 12.20 pm All are welcome to view.
