Capel Iwan Archive

This is linked to a series of web pages, assembled by Jim Batten, from files provided by Mr. Ieuan James.
They are based on a CD ROM, prepared by Capel Iwan PTA, to mark the retirement of Mr. James in 2004, and celebrate his twenty eight years as head teacher of Capel Iwan School.
