Dwygyfylchi Bowls Club

/in , /by

Dwygyfylchi Bowling Club have been able to buy 10 sets of Junior Bowls after a successful grant application to Penmaenmawr Town Council.

The Club has a good number of adult members but is hoping to interest younger players in taking up the sport. The Bowling Club have contacted both local primary schools, Pencae and Capelulo and hope to see their pupils at the green, when the weather improves, to introduce them to the game of bowls.

Dwygyfylchi has a rich history of bringing local juniors into the game, with many of them going on to represent Wales at under 18’s.  The purchase of these new bowls, 4 colours in 3 different, smaller sizes, are especially popular with younger players, instead of the standard black.

A club member said “ I think the best endorsement for bowls is that it doesn’t matter how old you are or what gender, once you step onto the green, everyone is equal. In the next few weeks we expect to have at least 6 members trained up to basic level coach, all of whom will have DBS certification”.

Everyone is welcome to come to Dwygyfylchi Bowling Club for a taster session.  If you’re interested in having a go, you can contact them at [email protected]

Paddling Pools Update

/in /by

Conwy County Borough Council have released the following statement about Paddling Pools

Conwy’s four paddling pools will reopen for the summer season following refurbishment as planned.

Cllr Aaron Wynne, Conwy’s Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure said: “This has been a major investment to secure the long-term future of these much-loved community assets.

“I’d like to reassure residents that we’re committed to getting the work completed at all sites for the benefit of those living and visiting our county.  Whilst we understand the disappointment caused last year we are pleased that we have been able to invest to protect the future of all four of our paddling pools and look forward to opening them for summer 2024.

Penmaenmawr – we have refurbished the walkway, as well as carrying out work on the pool base and material below.”

 

Penmaenmawr Town Council have been talking to CCBC to ensure that the work is completed before the planned re-opening on the May Bank Holiday.

Cllr Gavin Parry, Chair of the Well-being, Engagement and Events Committee said “The Town Council know how important the paddling pool is for both residents and visitors. That is why we have worked to ensure that CCBC are on schedule to complete the work before the planned opening. Not having the pool open last year was a blow to the local community and businesses and we want this fantastic facility to be used and enjoyed all summer”.

Penmaenmawr Town Council are supporting Penmaenmawr Bowling Club, the local Crown Green club that has produced national champion players in the last few years. Current members, of all ages and abilities, meet regularly to play against each other, or to compete in local leagues. Players recognise the benefits to physical and mental health, and the opportunity to socialize and meet new people. Penmaenmawr Town Council have awarded a grant of £500 for running costs and green maintenance. Club Secretary Keith Williams said

“The club provides the town with an attractive tourist facility and actively encourages juniors, senior citizens and people with disability to participate in sport. We have a strong lady’s section and have developed some amazing young players over the years.”

The club is open to members and non-members so if you feel like having a try call in at the club, which is opposite the entrance to the Prom.

Town Mayor & Deputy 2023 -2024

/in /by

Councillor Steven Consterdine was announced as the new Town Mayor at the Council AGM meeting last night held at Penmaenmawr Community Centre.

Steven said:

“It is with a sense of Pride and honour that I accept this office in such an important and historical building, which this year is celebrating its Centenary year.

Growing up here as a small boy, I can honestly say I did not think I would one day be Mayor. But I am proud to serve such an amazing community, which time and again proves what it means to be a resident here. 100 years ago, a community came together to build this magnificent building, and more recently came together to build The Penmaenmawr Phoenix Football Club, proving that Community is very much still in the hearts of our residents.

So, it is with that sense of community that I intend to lead this council on behalf of its residents. I would like to Thank our outgoing Mayor Cllr C Williams for the hard work and determination that was shown in what can only be described as a very difficult year, in which he held our Council together ensuring that we could indeed continue to support our community”.

Cllr Sarah Williams was elected as the Deputy Mayor.
