Canolfan Cymuned Llanwddyn
Llanwddyn Communlty Centre
Chalrsrrrustees report for April 2023 to March 2024
The Llanwddyn Communrty Centre Management Committee, have been a Charitsble Incorporated Organisation (CIO)
since 7ttb April 2014 (Registered Charity Number 1156546)
I have been Chaimian and Vice chairn￿n of the committee for many years and begin this report knowing of my
intention to retire from this position after such a long time. I feel it is the right time for me and I'm happy to make room
for someone 818e to have the opportunity lo ini￿t new bbod and ideas into this great committee. I will continue
representing the Llanwddyn Sheep Dog Tiials IF elected and will remain in support of all that the committee and centre
offer to Llanwddyn.
We as custodians of the centre promise to keep the cofflmunty centre open for all who wish to use it. but the
economic crisis is still ￿flectIng in the centre. with fewer people attending the affiliation club nights and events in
general are harder to encourage ttcket sales. despite attempting to put on a varied selection of events.
Our loyal affiliated members continue to provide great weekly support. This Includes Yoga classes. Bowls nights. Line
Dancing and Sports club. Llanwddyn Sheep dog affiliates continue use the hall for meetings and all affiliates continue
to support us financially with membership, weekly subs and donat￿nS throughout the year, including the at the
Autumn Fair which is one of our best fundraisers held.throughout the year. The monthly Social nights run by lan have
become equalty as important as are Llanwddyn Events who give so much energy to all the events held within the
centre. Knit and Natter continues, but onty on a Friday and is another super addition to what goes on in the centre.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all our members for their efforts over the years and hope, over tin*, each
night continues to be supported by Llanwddyn and its neightx)urs and numbers continue to increase.
Events held through this past financial year by all meml)ers and the hall committee in general have contrlbuted
finanCIal￿ to the running and repairs of the centre. Wthout this contribution we would be in a very worying position.
In September 2023 we recelved support from the Llanwddyn 'Ladies who swim, who ran a pop up café over the IA
Marathon day and donated all proceeds from the café after costs to the centre. Combined with the art exhibition,
Chnstmas Market, all our efforts at the Autumn fair we are able to cover most of the costs it takes to run the hall.
Other donation factors were the Communty Council who were able to support the centre with financial support to
install and run fibre broadband in the centre for the first 2 years. Thls has already had a great impacl on users of the
hall, such as craft stall holders, payments by card at the bar and more.
Our member Llanwddyn Post Office has had almost a full year being run by Colleen Johnson of Dafarn Newydd. I
hear she is enjoying her role as the new postmaster and continue to wish her every success. A vital addition to the
village.
As mentioned our Autumn Fair in 2023 was a fabulous nTght once more. A tot of hard work was put into running the
event and once again it raised a fabulous amount for the ￿ntre. frorn stalls to the grand draw. Thank you for
everyone's help and donations on the day and with selling the Grand Draw tickets, with the leader On￿ again being
Dave Proctor.
The centre continues to be available for private hire. Private hire is steadily increasing and l am told we have had our
first wedding at the centre in a long time, plus another booked for 2025. This is rnarvellous news. More people are
hiring the Dining room and kitchen for small private event too and it is receiving very many compliments about how
lovety it looks. It's also being used for meetings and l Unde￿tsnd a project with Arts Connect in Llanfyllin 18 being run
in the dining room June 2024 fortnightly throughout the summer months. All new and additional income. We are very
grateful to Garfield Weston by letting us use remaining fijnds from the roofing repairs.
The half marathon was a success and with fewer hiccups this year I'm happy to hear that they have booked the centre
for September 2024 again.
Secretary Ruth Pmll is as busy as ever keèping everylhing in order for the centre. As is our Treasurer Janet
Roberts. Both while working in fijll time jobs. They both keep a keen eye out for potential funding and areas where we
cAn improve the centre at little costs by ourselves. Frugal Choices continued to be made over the past year. Once
more we are grateful for their dedication. Thank youl
Our loyal volunteers from around the village continued to come al¢)ng and support us with their tsme. Wthout people
setting up the hall, helping with fundraising, running the cafes our work would be much harder. Thank you all..
Our caretaker Greg has become a valued asset to the centre. Often doing more than what pay him fr)r. Ruth and Ken
Powell ¢ontinue to volunteer time as joint caretakers with Greg. Thank you very much to them for doing this.

we believe P0￿S CC have a potential buyer for the school. As usual they are vague in details. This in mind we are
we have reminded them that they still have not honoured their lease agreement and work remains outstanding by
them.
l am proud of my years as Chairman, but I look forward to watching and being a part of the future of the centre with its
new Chairperson in the seat. l end my report again thanking all the Trustees for all the work undertaken during the
past year, and to all members of the Committee and our voluntsers for their input and time. Especialty Ruth , who has
been an enormous help to me over the years
To the residents and visitors to Llanwddyn, who continue to support us in many different ways. Wthout the
community, there would be no centre and hope you will all continue to support us more than ever before. We have lots
of pEans and we will need you to make them happen and the hall remain open.
If we donl use il, we will certainty lose it, ifs as simple as thaL
Thank youlDiolch yn Fawr
