The SuperJam Adventure goes to Wales.
Last week, I was very kindly invited to speak to the pupils at a school on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales.
The pupils, aged 14-16, were working on coming up with ideas to set up their own small businesses as part of an after school group run by the "Mentermon", a government-backed organisation that aims to foster enterprise on the island.
I shared the story of how SuperJam came about and how we got the SuperJam Tea Parties off the ground. The kids were very enthusiastic and asked questions for about half an hour.
While I was on Anglesey, I got to stop off at "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch", a small village that holds the Guinness Book of Records title of having the longest place name in the world.

Just a quick note to say that I'm sorry that I didn't know about your visit to Anglesey recently. I run a Scuba diving business in Holyhead but I am also a volunteer on the Dynamo project in Wales. This project seeks to inspire young people to go into business for themselves. Tomorrow I am giving a presentation in a local college and I always use your business and also Louis Barnett ('Chokolit') as some of the best examples of young people being successful in business. I'm sure your visit was very inspirational.
Kind Regards
