To celebrate the National Year of Reading in Wales, which was coordinated by the Welsh Books Council, ten pupils from Ysgol y Preseli joined together to form an 08 Club – After 80’s.

The 08 Clubs were set up and launched as part of the 2008 National Year of Reading in Wales. They are designed to attract children and young people – and especially teenage boys – to books and therefore to encourage reading.

The Welsh Books Council designed and activated a dedicated website where club members are able to create online profiles of their clubs, write regular blogs and up load videos of their activities and competitions were held in October, November and December for the best web page of the month.

The After 80’s club met a number of times and had fun discussing books and reading. They have updated their web page with photos, videos and information about the books they’re reading and now their online page has been chosen as the winner for the 08 Clubs’ competition for the best page produced in November.

The group won a fantastic prize of ten tickets to the Canaston Bowl and the Crystal Maze, near Narberth, Pembrokeshire.
