A group of approximately twenty university students and staff pose for a photo in a lecture hall. The group is diverse in appearance, standing and kneeling in front of a white dry-erase board. On a projector screen above them, a slide titled "Climate Change and Cultural Heritage in North Wales: A Complex Link" is displayed, along with the speaker's name, Giuseppe Forino. A dog stands on the far left next to a man in a red sweater. The people are smiling, suggesting the end of a successful presentation or class.
Last night our Student GeogSoc hosted a guest talk: Dr Giuseppe Forino (UoSalford) was talking about research he has been undertaking with Dr Lynda Yorke on climate change, cultural heritage and communication in north Wales Great attendance ... we look forward to more of these across the coming year

A knitted postbox topper featuring tje scene of the burst dam. The topper sits on a bright red postbox and depicts grey-and-white knitted elements resembling rocks, with a church bell and cross visible. A small, knitted figure of a man (rector) in a dark suit is walking across the scene.
A memorial in a wooded area with large silver letters on vertical wooden planks reading "TACH 2 NOV". To the right, a large white paper flower is attached to a boulder, and behind it, a dark stone plaque commemorates the 1925 Dolgarrog Dam Disaster, listing names. The ground is covered in slate chippings and fallen leaves
Some colleagues were in #Dolgarrog today to remember the #disaster 100 years ago & the 16 lives lost The postbox topper depicts the burst dam & the massive boulders that were thrust down the Afon Porth Llwyd gorge with the violent floor waters bursting on to the unsuspecting villagers below
