Vivas Got Talent Viva! (Wales) held its first talent night on th 15th December 2011 at Pontypridd & District Club. Children and young people sang, played the keyboard and receited poetry with staff and the management committee also taking part. The mayor of RCT and two Viva! members sat on the judges panel. However, there was no outright winner as they were all excellent. The event was a huge success and we plan on making this an annual event! The aim of the night was to raise funds for a much needed adapted mini bus to enable staff to transport members to and from activities. We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to staff and committee members who gave up their time to support the event, and to parents/carers, and all the artists. Also a BIG THANK YOU goes to all the staff at Pontypridd & District Club for allowing us to use the venue free of charge. A special thank you to Nick who also helped on the night and has also kindly donated money towards the cost of the mini bus.
