Over 120 Attend Premiere of Dyfi Groms Film in Machynlleth

A vibrant community gathered in Machynlleth on December 6, 2023, for the premiere of the film Dyfi Groms, which highlights the stories of young people passionate about the local mountain biking scene. The event took place at the Tabernacle, where over 120 attendees filled the venue for the first public screening of this engaging documentary.

Following the film, a question-and-answer session featured members of the cast, allowing the audience to connect directly with the young individuals whose experiences were portrayed on screen. The response from the community was overwhelmingly positive, showcasing both support for the film and enthusiasm for the subject matter.

As part of the event, funds were raised through ticket sales and a Bring and Buy Sale the following day, collecting over £700 to support the production of the film and the Trailrippers Project CIC. This initiative aims to make mountain biking more accessible to a diverse group of young people in the area.

A spokesperson for the event expressed gratitude for the turnout, stating, “It was a great turnout on Saturday night, where we showed five short films around the topic of mountain biking to a packed Tabernacle.” The enthusiastic participation from both the audience and the cast highlighted the importance of community engagement in promoting recreational activities.

The film not only showcases local talent but also serves as a catalyst for encouraging young people to embrace mountain biking as a healthy and engaging hobby. The Trailrippers Project CIC is dedicated to expanding the reach of this sport, ensuring that it is inclusive and available to all interested youth.

To continue supporting the film and the Trailrippers Project, donations can be made via their crowdfunding page. This initiative illustrates the power of community spirit in fostering creativity and promoting active lifestyles among young people.
