Dynamic men go karting

On several occasions over the last few years, I’ve called in to give my support to the Friction Dynamics workers on the picket line in Caernarfon.

I cannot praise too highly the way the workers conducted themselves in that long running dispute - one that has still not been properly resolved of course.

And so it was good to hear the news this week that three of the sacked employees have set up their own million pound venture, in the form of an indoor go-karting centre in Caernarfon, on the Cibyn Industrial Estate. The idea for the business came from conversations they had on the picket line.

I wish John Davis, Richard Lawson and James Clarke every success in their new enterprise - and I hope to try out a go-kart before too long.
