Downhill bike champion opens Llandudno shop dedicated to sport 'he loves'            ££$              $walesflag$

Sion Jones has launched The Bike Bar in Craig-y-Don for keen cyclists.
He added: “I chose Llandudno, or to be more exact Craig-y-Don as it is a great location on the coast but not too central in town so it is easy to access for customers.

I aim to offer a quality service, with knowledge and passion and be a place to go for local cyclists.
“The premises and location offer the opportunity to grow and be able to take on staff to create a bigger environment and location for cyclists and their needs.
"Starting a new business is a massive task and the initial outlay is huge, but with growth we can adapt to become a place to go, and the opportunities are wide ranging.”

Craigydon Communiy Centre has a website which promotes local businesses but not one business is from Craigydon.

How odd?

That is very odd.

The Craig y Don website has a full (ish) business directly for only Craig y Don based businesses.

Yes, especially as their strapline boasts:

"Run by the Community for the Community."

I noticed in the tab box a list of N.W. towns, the link has nothing to do with CYD, at the bottom of the page is a contact link.      http://www.web4-u.co.uk/    I assume if contacted could rectify the problem, anybody passing the centre  ;)

I wonder when the broken corner window in Carmens shop (complete with blood stains) that has been there for over 2 months will get fixed?  :(

Re: Craig Y Don......Christmas celebrations with a brass band concert.
« Reply #186 on: December 06, 2018, 03:58:08 pm »
ST PAUL’s church, Craig-y-Don, will start its Christmas celebrations with a brass band concert.

The concert, by Holywell brass band, begins at 7.30pm on Saturday December 8. It will feature Christmas classics and seasonal surprises and includes a chance to sing along to well known carols, with mulled wine and mince pies in the interval.

While entry will be free, there will be a retiring collection to raise money for young brass players and singers.

Rev Noel Carter, rector of St Paul's Church, added: “In the current financial climate, voluntary organisations like Holywell Band and St Paul's Church, have an important part to play in helping children and young adults get access to music lessons and performance opportunities to reach their musical potential. Singing and playing an instrument is an important gift, and this concert is a small way to help a young singer or band member to go on to greater things."   ref Pioneer

ST PAUL’s Church, Craig-y-Don is to hold a traditional nine lessons and carols service to support the work of the Llandudno lifeboat.

The service, on Sunday 23rd December at 3.30pm, and will follow the classic format established in the 1880s.

Rev Noel Carter, Rector of St Paul's said: "This is one of the few churches left in North Wales with a traditional four part choir, which enables us to recreate a classic start to the Christmas season.

"The Llandudno lifeboat crew is now our close neighbour in their superb new boathouse, and we're delighted to support their work saving lives at sea."
Admission is free, with a collection to support the work of the Llandudno Lifeboat.      ref Pioneer

Craig-y-Don postcard fair

WOULD you like to see your great grandparents’ town or village at the time they lived there?

With picture postcards this might be possible, and there will be a wealth of such postcards at the North Wales Postcard Club fair at Craig-y-Don Community Centre on Saturday, August 17 between 10am and 4pm. This is the only dedicated postcard fair in North Wales,

Cards provide are a treasure trove of material for many topics, including military, road and rail transport, animals, children's artists, shipping, aviation, natural history, art, in fact almost any subject.

Postcards can also bring family-trees to life, perhaps with a view of the school one's great grandfather attended, the village shop one's grandmother would have visited, or the place where one's parents were married.     ref Pioneer

According to social media, the goats have been seen in CYD this morning, perhaps on their way to the little Orme  $good$

I hope that they don't find their way to Colwyn Bay as our puppy has done enough damage already.     

I don't expect the people who have done so much work to the CYD  Park will be amused if they start munching away at their handiwork.

TRIBUTES have been paid a former Conwy police constable and founder of a community group.

John Richard Hughes died earlier in April aged 83.

Mr Hughes, who was married to Pat and had daughter Debbie, son Paul and four grandchildren, was the founding member of Friends of Queens Park Community Group.

Wing Commander Jeff Wright, member of Friends of Queen’s Park who was community group chairman in 2012, said: "John was the founder member of this Community Group back in 2008 and it is testimony to his organisational skills, and drive, that this project has been successful for the past 13 years, and is still going strong today."

CONCERNS were raised about a potential housing development site during a virtual public meeting.

Anwyl Homes wants to build 49 new homes - 35 per cent of which will be affordable - on land at the corner of Bodafon Road and Nant-y-Gamar Road, Craig Y Don, Llandudno - South of Ysgol y Gogarth.

The well-attended public meeting, organised Janet Finch-Saunders, MS for Aberconwy, saw representatives from Anwyl, Satplan Ltd, Ysgol y Gogarth, Ysgol Bodafon, and the wider community consider numerous aspects of the proposal, including the potential knock-on impact to the students of Ysgol y Gogarth, highway issues, and property designs.

Individuals spoke with regards to the speed with which the contingency site is being considered.

Concerns were also raised about the designs of the housing, with the development potentially hooking into the existing electrical/water/drainage infrastructure, and the potential conflict with Ysgol y Gogarth; Some of the children who attend the campus have life-limiting problems and are among the most vulnerable children in the county.

Anwyl seem to want to build anywhere bar the old Penmorfa Hotel site but the real culprit is Mostyn Estates who want to get their grubby mitts on developing this land.
If it is passed then expect more applications for the rest of the fields

Affordable housing seems to be the buzz word with the Government and developers but that is just lip service.    If they want affordable housing then what's wrong with 100 per cent and affordable at prices for local people

Hugo the finch has a conflict of interest on this as she lives up there, she will be friends with Mostyn est and Anwyll she may want to get her grubby hands on one when they are built to go with her others, why oh why haven't this council got Anwyll to build on penmorfa before allowed to build anywhere else,  as we know Mostyn can't wait to get the lad out of the farm then you watch in 10+ years that field will be all housing 😡 Not affordable to local young families that's for sure, we were only talking about housing with one of my lads, he saying it's harder now for them to get a mortgage he is OK has a very well paid job, none of these politicians will say what they define as affordable.
