Hi everyone! I’ve been living in Wales for around 12 months, I work full time and I’m in my late 30s.

I’m thinking about going back to studying, ideally an evening or online/part-time course that I could fit around work.

I’m Irish and already have previous qualifications, but I’m not sure how the education system/funding works here. Especially as I’ve only been living in Wales for a year months.

Would I be classed as a mature student? Are there any free or funded evening courses I could do, or would I need to pay for everything myself?

If anyone has gone back to college/university later in life while working full time, I’d love to hear how you found it and where you started looking.

Thanks! 😊

Wrexham foodies, what independent place do you think deserves WAY more attention?

Hey, looking to put up some posters to support the launch of season’d. We will be around Wrexham looking for places to put them, does anyone know of any places which will accept posters?

Thanks in advance!

Here today, Wed, wondering if there is a pub that has some live music. 2 or 3 piece bands, acoustic, or such.

Can anyone recommend decent training rooms in Wrexham or it's suburbs/outskirts?

I’m looking for somewhere suitable for a one-day classroom course

Main requirements:

• Parking on site, or easy on-street parking nearby
• Outside the main centre/commercial zones
• Room for up to 10 people
• Tables/chairs, screen/projector if possible
• Tea/coffee/lunch options would be a bonus, like an onsite café - doesn't have to be a buffet, but I'm not against putting in an order with a local caterer/sandwich shop, don't need anything fancy.

Hotels/conference centres don't usually work for us because they want minimum numbers for buffets/day delegate rate. Elsewhere we use sports clubs, golf clubs, business centres etc.

I’ve found a few options online, but local knowledge is usually much better than Google for this sort of thing.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Anyone know how to order this to the US?

I resit my physics and maths exam last year I had a C in both maths and physics this year I had a C in maths again and D in physics because they did not include my practical exam in the final grade as I was resiting physics unit 1 and 2 for second time this year so it means I am taking the whole qualification again but I contacted Wrexham uni and they told they accept highest achievable grades. I can go into accounting and finance or mechanical engineering both through clearing but I am concerned I won't be employable considering my A levels grades. I am not sure which course I should go for my main concern is future employability last year I was interested in mechanical engineering now I am more keen towards accounting and finance but the only thing I am thinking about is that there is no point of studying accounting and finance if I don't want to study further after graduation. Alternatively, I can do mechanical engineering as I got a C in both maths and physics it might not be for me. If you were in the same situation what would you chose and there is also a degree apprenticeship in mechanical engineering

Hey! I'm currently travelling through UK and I'll be visiting Wrexham on Wednesday. Do you guys know where I could get glasses to watch the eclipse and also if there is any kind of meeting anywhere in the city where people would gather to watch it together?

Thanks in advance!

Backstory - Born and raised in Wrexham but I was severely mentally ill throughout secondary and college. So at 19 when I finished college I packed my bags and moved to Portugal.

I've been living in Portugal for 3 years getting mental health treatment, and I've kept in touch with some old friends here in wxm but because I was very mentally unwell during school years I was shut in.

I'm back in wxm/uk for good now and doing so much better mentally (diagnosed with bipolar type 2 disorder from a psychiatrist in Portugal), but now I'm back I'm kind of lonely.

My school friends are now adults and are busy and I also want to push myself out of comfort zone as well.

Before any asks I don't drink, smoke nor do drugs but I don't judge anyone who does.

So I guess I'm looking for friends and places to meet new people. Any suggestions especially since wxm has changed a lot in 3 years?

Hi. I am a quiet, solitary witch living on the outskirts of Wrexham, and wondering if there are any others around who would like to meet up, or who know of an established group I could quietly slip into? I’ve been practicing alone for years but would love if there were some like minded people out there.

I'm building Season'd, a new app created in Wrexham to make those recommendations easier to save, find and share. Instead of screenshots, group chats or trying to remember somewhere months later, you can pin places you've visited, save ones you want to try and discover recommendations from people you trust.
I'd love to know...

Hey Friends! Here from the US and looking for a spot for my family to stash bags for 2 hours while we explore (and spend some money) in Wrexham. Looks like the one place that babysits your bags is FULL. Any local shops do this? Near Wrexham General with 4 carry on rollers and 4 small backpacks on the 31st.

Thanks in advance! :)

Anyone be able to tell me what the Uber or Taxi service is like in Wrexham as we need an early 6:30am ride to Wrexham General station on a Friday

We'd just like too apologise for are recent silence.

Its been a hard few weeks for us. First Plaid beat Reform in the local by election, then we realised hardly anybody from Wrexham actually wanted too come too are last march. Luckly a few people traveld from all over the UK or it would of been even more embarassing.

Recent headlines involving our friends at raise the colours being outed at the real child predators haven't helped are image much either, so we've decided its probably best too keep are heads down for a bit.

We're currently busy trying too find some more people from outside the area too stand behind are banners, so it looks like we've got local support again. And we will still be stapling Chinese manufactured flags to lampposts in our free time.

Thank you for you're patience and we'll be back soon to complain about everyone else instead of looking at are own problems.

Stori Brymbo has opened today and I'm very impressed with what they've done with the building in such as short space of time.

Hi all, as per title.
I can't get anyone willing to come forwards about the specific church I've had issues with.

So I'm thinking of just raising the issue in general, with ex-members and estranged family of people who joined up and get abused or manipulated in some manner by a new age church, or religous group, or any other coercively controlling organisation.

If anyone can give me some pointers on getting started -
Thinking I'll start by contacting the Humanist group in Wrexham.

Also - I imagine freelance videographers will be the best value for the £?

Thanks

My bf has a rare day off. Anything music wise or such happening in Wrexham?

I've Been trying to explore new religions recently but every one so far has been Christian churches, and I'm looking to expand some more.

From what I find on Google maps there is apparently only one mosque in Wrexham and the nearest synagogue is almost three hours away.

So can anyone point me to any other religious groups that meet in or near Wrexham?
