Appeal from Llandudno Museum re Daily Post Wish 2012 tokens
« Reply #77 on: September 12, 2012, 09:41:33 pm »
We have registered for the Daily Post Wish 2012 token collection. Each group on the Wish List collect as many tokens as they can from their friends, family and local community. The percentage of tokens a group submits out of the total number of tokens submitted will determine the percentage of the prize pot they receive. All groups on the Wish List will receive a share of the prize. As a registered charity, we are forever looking for funding as we would like to modernise and upgrade the Museum in the next few years. We may not get a big bite of this fund - but it all helps. Please drop off your tokens at the Museum or at Llandudno Museum or the Archives. Thanks so much !

We are setting up a trust to renovate a former Gt Orme bus. Does anyone please have any knowledge, pictures or history which could be of help. The bus we have is a Guy Wolf 1948.

Welcome John, which bus is it? JC5313 or JC9736 ? I loved riding on them in the Sixties / early Seventies! I would love to see one again! Should be plenty of pics on here somewhere!

North Wales attractions set for week-long Welsh Museums Festival

Llandudno Museum - A stroll through Historic Llandudno         
The museum will host a guided walk through Victorian Llandudno on Sunday October 5. Visitors will learn about the development of Llandudno as the ‘Queen of Welsh Resorts’, guided by experienced local historian, Elan Rivers.
The walk, which is booking only, will leave the Museum at 10.30am and last just under 1 hour, ending back at the museum.
The event is free but donations are welcome and there will also be a chance to meet-and-greet staff and trustees, explore the collections, and enjoy light refreshments.
If there is sufficient interest there will be a second walk in the afternoon, leaving at 2.30pm

Plans to create a "key cultural hub" at Llandudno Museum are set to be helped by £140,000 of council cash.
In total, £1.367m of the £1.5m cost of the work has been secured from sources including the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Decisions will be made on other grants and funding totalling £450,000 in the first half of 2018.
At a meeting on Tuesday, Conwy council's cabinet will be recommended to approve making £139,344 available in case none of these are successful.
Llandudno Museum is owned by a charity and puts on exhibitions, workshops, lectures and family activities.
A report to the cabinet said in order to turn it into a "key cultural hub", it needed more interactive galleries and exhibition areas as well as improvements to the cafe, entrance and shop.

£1.5m plan to "revitalise" a Conwy county museum is a step closer after the project received a £120,000 grant.
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) awarded the funding to Llandudno Museum, with a view to granting a further £862,000.
Plans for the project include creating a family space for learning and community use, and installing a lift.
Roy Haley, of Llandudno Museum, said the funding would help to produce "a revitalised, engaging and modern experience".
"We still have to raise more funds to complete the project, but the practical advice and financial support of HLF is a massive help to the museum," he said.
The grant has been awarded during the Welsh Museums Festivals Week, that runs for a week until 1 November.

If it gets that much funding then it should be free to enter.

Llandudno Museum's major £1.5m expansion plans revealed

Llandudno Museum's major redevelopment work has now been given a start date - and will include a sizable expansion.

The popular town centre attraction has been closed to the public since August 2018 to allow for extensive rebuilding and renovation.
The trustees of the museum had wanted to expand as part of the improvements, but hit a major hurdle when it came to the property next-door.

The neighbouring Arvon Villa on Gloddaeth Street had been on the market since 2015, but the museum couldn't find the funds to pay the asking price and secure the property.    cont.    https://www.dailypost.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/llandudno-museums-major-15m-expansion-16358970

Consultation on plans to turn libraries into 'community hubs' but one century-old building is earmarked for closure

A CONSULTATION has been launched on plans to turn libraries into community hubs – sparking fears it could leave one ‘iconic’ building ‘vacant for a long time’.

The proposals, contained in Conwy county council’s draft library strategy for the next five years, were discussed at Wednesday evening’s economy and place scrutiny meeting.

It advises turning the authority’s libraries  into “community hubs that provide a wide range of services and activities”.

The idea promised “a hub and spoke approach, with staff in the town and community libraries having the same capabilities and access to information” as those in its Coed Pella office in Colwyn Bay.

However Colwyn Bay’s century-old library building, built with money raised through public subscription, needs £175,000 of “essential maintenance” and has been earmarked for closure.
