Seki Ryu Zan (Karate Club, Bangor)
http://www.sekiryuzan.org
A little lesson in Japanese for you - seki ruy zan means 'the mountain of the Red Dragon' - which is a very apt name for this Bangor Karate club. The bilingual website is easy on the eye, and straight-forward to navigate - though the function to change from Welsh to English is hidden in faint text at the bottom of the homepage. As well as details of classes, there are profiles of all the instructors, a history of this type of karate and pictures of all the different moves.

Around 6,000 students attend this college of further education with main bases in Bangor and Llangefni, but other centres in Caernarfon and Holyhead. As well as useful directories of courses, facilities and resources, there are links to various projects and their own multi-media discussion forum

North Wales Chronicle
http://www.northwaleschronicle.co.uk/

Here you can listen to the choir and see what you think! You can also see photos of their past performances and learn about the history of the choir. It is necessary always to use the back button when leaving the homepage and the information isn't up-to-date, but it's a nice introduction to the choir.
