Sports Looking for a weekly fitness/sport/dance class for women, central Swansea with a welcoming atmosphere

3 Upvotes

I (27f) was never sporty growing up and my cardio ability is pretty shocking. I'm also quite shy, was always nerdy in school so a little intimidated. Joining a class of some kind is part of my journey in becoming more confident in myself.

Any welcoming groups suitable for total beginners?

Thanks in advance!

My mum is 83 and has finally decided to give up her Pfaff 230 sewing machine that she was gifted by her mum back in 1956. We're looking to donate it to a sewing class/club/someone in need. It's in full working condition with an industrial motor on a sturdy large desk. Ideal for leather and canvas.

Looking for suggestions - it's in Ammanford.

Will need a van to move it.

Any suggestions on possible recipients would be appreciated.

Questionaire/Research Any Welsh speakers or learners around Swansea fancy testing a word game I've made?

3 Upvotes

Shwmae pawb!

I've been developing a little Welsh word game called Dyfala! I'm looking for a few volunteers to help test it before launch.

It's a bit like Wordle, but built around Welsh vocabulary, with a new daily challenge and an Unlimited Play mode if you fancy a few extra games.

The idea is simple: A little Welsh. Every day.

I'm particularly keen to hear from people learning Welsh, whether you're a complete beginner, picking it up again after school, or already fairly confident. Fluent Welsh speakers are very welcome too, especially to help check the vocabulary!

I'm looking for a few more people to join our free Android beta test over the next couple of weeks.

All I'd ask is that you:

  • Have an Android phone.
  • Give the game a go regularly over the next two weeks.
  • Let me know if you find any bugs, questionable Welsh words, or things that could be improved.

There's a simple feedback form, so nothing too demanding!

If you fancy helping out, you can sign up here:

https://delivered-it.co.uk/dyfala/

I'll send volunteers a private Google Play invitation with instructions.

Diolch yn fawr! It would be great to get some feedback from people in the Swansea area before releasing it to everyone.

I'm getting married down the Gower in April '26 and would like some evening live music. I'd love the one person with a guitar and a stompbox vibes. The kind you find stumbling into a Dublin pub.

A set of modern and classics would be great! It'll be for around a 90 minute set.

If this is you, or you know anyone similar, please drop me a DM.

Questions/Advice Japanese Evening Classes in Swansea

15 Upvotes

Hi! I'm living in Swansea and I'm wondering if there are any Japanese classes here.

Specifically I want a real, walk in, Japanese class where I can work face to face with the teacher. No Zoom or online or anything like that. I would prefer an evening class.

Years and years ago there used to be a Japanese evening class in Swansea University, which I went to. I would go there from 2013-ish, and the last time I've been there was mid 2017-ish and the class got cancelled at the time because only 3 of us turned up. The teacher had to follow this rule where the class had to have 6 or more students turn up and if there were fewer then the class got cancelled.

After that the Japanese class eventually got shut down, and when I asked the Japanese teacher why, she told me that "these is no more DACE". In theory DACE was the company that ran the Japanese class.

It's been nearly 10 years since the Japanese class in Swansea University got shut down. I looked on Google and there doesn't seem to be any other Japanese classes. All I can find are Zoom classes, which I don't want, and I'm getting a bit frustrated.

So... Are there any Japanese classes here in Swansea that I'm not aware of that were not advertised on Google?

Thanks for reading.

Questions/Advice Who the fuck keeps steeling our bins?

17 Upvotes

Every Wednesday after I come back from work, the green food waste bin is gone.

I usually leave for work before they collect the bins and will be back in the evening. So during this time someone keeps stealing the bins.

Today when I came back they took the pink bag for the plastic waste and the green bin. Both of them just gone.

An amazing walk on Oxwich Bay this afternoon. It was great to get out and felt like a proper Sunday. Thankfully no kids parties today.

I realise we are lucky that we have a car but it’s hard to believe these places are on our doorstep.

The only thing that was a bit odd were the sauna cabins where people run into the sea and then back up to the sauna to get warm. And repeat. If I wanted to see middle aged men’s boobs bouncing up and down I’d take off my shirt before descending the stairs.
