I'm going to take the plunge and be the first to post in this thread. Ive read the introduction.
What I am going to say, I didnt know where to put it. I thought maybe in the cafe chat thread.
However. I am absolutely fed up with the high winds that have gone on for week after week all Aug Sept (and maybe July). But ---- NOW THEY HAVE GONE. But, so have all my potential customers.
They have all gone home to Stoke etc
So, the weather forecast is great for this coming weekend. I am fed up of being by myself. So, I would like to invite everyone who reads this forum, and all their friends, to come up to the Great Orme Family Golf and play away absolutely free of an charge in any shape or form.
Just say "I read this on the three towns forum" and off you go.
I might as well be up here, have a nice crowd of people enjoying themselves and have an empty till. Rather than being up here by myself and having an empty till.
Hoping to see a few of you. Mike

But Mike... how selfish of you.. _))*
If you take all the Forum members away for free golf, who will keep me from being lonely on the pier all day?
After all, I don't see anybody else apart from Forum members and the odd sea gull! :laugh: :laugh:
-
What about all the thousands of Shearings type pensioners who I would have thought would like a stroll on the pier----not up a one in six hill to see me!!!
-
i wish mrs snowcap could walk up and see you, lol
-
Don't worry. I will walk down and see her whenever she is out of hospital. (Of course it might be a bit doubtful whether I will make it walking back up) Mike
-
Don't forget that any local business can advertise their shop/service completely free of charge in this section - just follow the instructions in the first post of this thread. Over 6,000 people a month look at the Forum, so it's well worth doing!

I'm looking for work my background is accounting and business administration but I'm happy to look at anything. Part time, full time, one offs or contract.

Best of luck with your search. $good$

I have just developed a Facebook group called "Jobs offered in Llandudno, LLandudno Junction, Conwy and Colwyn Bay", and now have almost 200 members. It is a site to spread the word about any job vacancies of whatever type in the area, as people find it very hard to find work at present - so many jobs are gone before they see them, yet are still advertised. It would appear that the obvious ones are those that people spot in shop/office windows, and are then spread by word of mouth. That's where I thought that members of this forum and my members could gain a mutual benefit. Some businesses have problems getting staff, and particularly with the tourist season approaching, there are people on my site desperately looking for work. You would be very welcome to join the group - alternatively please post any vacancies on here and I will copy them across for members to contact you in whichever manner you feel appropriate. This will not cost you anything of course, and you will have access to a good selection of potential staff.

In the last few minutes since writing the above post, I have seen my membership rise to 208!
Moderator - please feel free to re-site this topic into another heading if you feel that would be appropriate. Thank you.

Please join my facebook site -"Jobs offered in Llandudno, Llandudno Junction, Conwy and Colwyn Bay" if you haven't already found work. I post jobs on there every day, and one might turn up that would be ideal for you. No fees - just trying to help people find work as locally as possible.

I heard over the weekend that 4 million people a month are changing their jobs in the USA, due to lockdowns and various other factors relating to Covid, and we have seen the effects here, truck drivers etc, so I thought it a good idea to use the Forum to advise of any potential opportunities out there.

North Wales recruiters started the year on a high with new partnerships and expansion plans.
The team at Colwyn Bay and Bangor-based Supertemps have been inundated with clients seeking employees in multiple industries over the winter months.
Managing Director Sarah Ellwood says demand is increasing for staff in sectors including IT, hospitality, retail, and manufacturing, but warned bosses to move fast for fear of losing out on their ideal applicant.
“The market has been candidate-driven for quite some time but since the onset of the pandemic it has reached new levels,” said Sarah.
Llinos Gutierrez-Jones, Head of Human Resources for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, said: “We have a number of support staff vacancies being advertised currently, and Supertemps are playing a key role in helping us recruit the right people for these rewarding roles.”

LAST week, the digital marketing company Yell Business published a report that revealed Llandudno is the start-up capital of the United Kingdom.
During 2021, more businesses formed in the town per capita than anywhere else throughout the UK.
Highlighting the report during a debate in Parliament on Tuesday (February 22), Aberconwy MP Robin Millar said:
“Last September, Llandudno in Aberconwy was identified as having the fastest economic recovery in the UK and, last week, an analysis of Companies House filings identified it as the start-up capital of the UK.
“I pay tribute to the entrepreneurs and businesses for making that happen.
“Will my honourable friend the minister join me in Llandudno with some of those entrepreneurs to see how we can nurture those green shoots, secure the growth and turn Llandudno into a growth and enterprise hub for North Wales?”
George Freeman MP, the UK Government minister for science, research and innovation, responded by saying: “With pleasure.

A firm has funding to offer free trucker training worth thousands of pounds to people in North Wales in a bid to help relieve the shortage in the sector.
The lack of qualified HGV and LGV drivers in the UK was highlighted before Christmas with deliveries of fuel and food hit.
This is now out of the headlines but the Road Haulage Association (RHA) has warned of a shortage of around 100,000 drivers and said the issue has not improved.
It comes as more drivers leave the industry due to retirement and other factors than are joining as well as European drivers leaving the UK after Brexit.
But training is expensive with people having to fork out thousands of pounds to get qualified.
Now Gatewen Training Services, based in Llay near Wrexham, is offering to train people up for free after getting funding from Welsh Government aimed at tackling the crisis. The training would usually cost up to £3,700.
Candidates must live in Wales, and;
Be earning less than £29,500 per annum
The funding is available to prepare either new drivers for the Cat C (Rigid Vehicle) test or experienced drivers for the Cat C+E (Articulated Vehicle) test.
There is no lower or upper age limit but people need to sign up required by the end of March, although training can be after that date.
A spokesman said: "The UK’s lorry driver shortage that received a lot of publicity prior to Christmas has not visibly got any better.
"The average age of a driver in the UK is 55 with less than 1% being under the age of 25.
"Approximately 2,000 drivers are leaving the industry every week, often due to retirement, with only 1,000 new recruits joining over the same period.
Gatewen have recently been awarded the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award and also in a drive to offer mental health help and support to local men, they have set up and sponsor a men’s mental health charity https://www.pwrpas.com/. (https://www.pwrpas.com/.)
It operates as a hub with its primary aims being to raise awareness of the mental health challenges faced by men, engage with men and encourage conversation, and to signpost men to appropriate support. ref DP

Gatewen Training Services, based in Llay near Wrexham, has been astonished at the huge interest in the training
Since then they have had more than 150 calls from people in Wales interested in taking up the offer and they are now trying to process these enquiries.
A spokesman for Gatewen said “The response has been way above expectations and as a result we will not be able to process any further enquiries until further notice.

A new recruitment drive is set to be launched later this month to sign up full-time firefighters in North Wales.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service has announced registration for online applications will open at noon on Friday, April 22 and close at midday on Tuesday, April 26.
The region's fire service originally intended to appoint people to the roles in September last year.
However, the plans were placed on hold, which the area's chief fire officer blamed on having "limited resources to recruit and train firefighters".
Ahead of the latest recruitment window, the service's head of operations Anthony Jones said it was looking to attract applicants from a variety of backgrounds.
He said: “Right now, we’re preparing to launch a new recruitment drive for full-time firefighters - and this recruitment window will be open for online registrations over a period of five days.
“We’re looking for people to join our team. We believe there is no such thing as a typical firefighter and applications from all backgrounds are encouraged.
Anyone who requires additional information is advised to visit the service's social media pages or its website.

Cera Conwy, Colwyn Bay
28 Wynnstay Road,
Colwyn Bay01492 463043
Cera, the digital-first healthcare-at-home provider and one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, is recruiting 50 care assistant positions in Colwyn Bay.
As part of the recruitment drive, the company is holding a recruitment event on April 28th from 10am-2pm for anyone considering applying for a role to drop in to chat to the team.
Cera is a technology-enabled home care provider, with a team of thousands of carers and nurses delivering more than 40,000 in-person visits to patients homes every day on behalf of over 100 Local Authorities and NHS CCGs. The company’s pioneering technology removes the burden of manual pen and paper processes by implementing innovative technology and machine learning capabilities, in turn giving carers more time to do what they do best; care.
If you are a student about to graduate, an experienced worker considering a career change or employed worker looking to supplement your current income, Cera’s technology can recruit, train, certify and deploy new professional carers in a matter of days.
Felix Wetzel, Director of Carer Acquisition at Cera, commented: “Over the past two years, the majority of us have experienced what it’s like to care for people outside of our families – from staying at home to protect the most vulnerable to checking in on an elderly neighbour or dropping off food for a friend in isolation. The feeling of caring and making a difference to the lives of others is incomparable. It doesn’t matter what stage of your career you’re at, if you’re reliable, empathetic and friendly, it’s time to consider joining the caring profession.”

Held from 2pm to 7pm at Eirias Events Centre, Colwyn Bay, the Expo saw 71 leading employers convene to present opportunities to would-be employees.
The free event was organised by Conwy Employment Hub - which oversees Communities for Work, PaCE and Communities for Work Plus – in partnership with Working Wales, which is delivered by Careers Wales, the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) and Conwy Business Support team.
Pip Cockeram, Marketing and Communications Officer at Conwy Employment Hub, said the event went “really well”, adding: “It seemed to be well-liked by the exhibitors and also from the jobseekers, feedback has been excellent.
An extensive range of businesses took part and set up stalls at the event, including Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (three stands), Conwy Council, Llandudno Pier, Zip World, Quest and the British Army.

“That was the key thing that everyone liked about the job fair – we had everyone from care agencies through to alpine travel and cleaning companies.
“It was right across all sectors and that was the aim – it wasn’t just a normal job fair, we wanted to pull in a variety of exhibitors and we certainly did.

NURSES at Glan Clwyd Hospital have reacted to staff shortages by arranging their own recruitment day.
The nursing professionals are busy finalising plans for the open day on Saturday, November 12, which begins at 10am and finishes at 3pm.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) currently has a staffing problem; the health board has been too reliant on locum and agency staff, in common with most health boards in Wales, because of staff vacancies.
It is hoped the day will attract those interested in applying for qualified nursing roles as well as the Apprenctice Healthcare Assistant programme.
The scheme lasts for two years and apprenctices gain NVQ qualifications plus, hopefully, a full-time job on completion.
Jane Woollard, Glan Clwyd Hospital?s director of nursing, said: ?We want people aged between 18 and 25, who have an interest in healthcare, to come along and see what a rewarding career this can be.
?Nursing is a tough job, though really rewarding, and the support given by our healthcare assistants is vital. We need more and we can offer on the job training and career advancement to those who want to make it their vocation.
?We?ve seen healthcare support workers make that transition into Band 5 nursing and it fills us with pride to see their progression.
?We also want to see registered nurses on our open day. It doesn?t matter whether you are newly qualified or experienced ? it?s about compassionate care for the people of North Wales.
?We need you to work either in our acute sites or out in the community and our links with colleges and universities afford plenty of opportunity for development ? even up to PhD level if that is your aim.?
For more information about the opportunities on offer email Rhian Jones, lead recruitment nurse for Glan Clwyd Hospital, at Rhian.Jones9@wales.nhs.uk or Jane Woollard, IHC associate director of nursing, at Jane.Woollard@wales.nhs.uk

The government is considering plans to coax retired middle-aged workers back into jobs to boost the economy.
Older people who have given up work could be offered what is being dubbed a "midlife MoT" to entice them back into employment, the Times reports.
The paper says the MoT would assess finances and opportunities for work.
It follows a recent House of Lords committee finding that a wave of early retirement following the pandemic has caused a huge labour shortage.
The report by the influential economic affairs committee examined the jump in economic inactivity - the number of people not in work or looking for work - and rising vacancies since 2020.
Economic inactivity has increased by 565,000 people since the start of the pandemic, according to the analysis.
The report highlighted retirement, increased sickness, changes to migration and the UK's aging population all contributed to the current tightness in the labour market.

A MAN from Colwyn Bay who found his dream job after being made redundant is encouraging others to take advantage of the free career coaching and financial support for training available to people in Wales.
David Burnell, 63, is now working in a new role for a luxury golf travel company after being made redundant earlier this year.
He credits his success to the ReAct+ programme, which provided him with free careers advice and a ?1,500 grant to go on a training course to expand his skillset.
The ReAct+ programme, which is funded by Welsh Government, provides people who have been made redundant or are at risk of redundancy with a personalised package of support to meet their individual needs.
David SAID: ?I?ve always loved working on websites, and I?d built up my skills since the early ?90s, but up to now I?ve had a sense of ?imposter syndrome? and sometimes doubted my own skills.
?I was feeling worried about the prospect of having to find a new job given my age and whether younger candidates might have an edge on the latest technology and qualifications.

THE leading employment and training event in North Wales is back and bigger than ever before.
Businesses, skills organisations, educators, charities, and individuals wanting to exhibit at this year?s Conwy Job Expo are urged to do so fast.
The free exhibition will again be held at Eirias Events Centre in Colwyn Bay and following the success of last spring ? when up to 500 school and college students were in attendance ? it has been opened-up to people of all ages.
In partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and supported by Creating Enterprise, Conwy Business Support, and Working Wales, which is delivered by Careers Wales, the Expo will be held on Thursday, February 22 from 1pm to 5pm.
Libby Duo, strategic manager for Conwy Employment Hub, hopes to see even more organisations at the venue than in 2023, when more than 80 signed up.
?We have had a very positive response so far and spaces are filling fast,? she said.
?As well as pupils from schools across the region ? many of whom are still undecided on their future career ? this will be an opportunity for people in jobs who are looking for a new direction, or anyone seeking employment, to explore what opportunities are out there in multiple industries.?
The Barn, at Eirias Events Centre, will be divided into sections for exhibitors, education and training and demonstrations.
Jane Cook, the DWP?s employer and partnership manager for Conwy, added: ?The expo is aimed at anyone wanting a fresh start, or looking to take the next step in their education or working life.
?This event will bring some of the region?s top organisations and businesses under one roof ? as well as representatives from the public sector ? and provide them with a platform to attract their employees of the future.
?It?s also a chance for networking, to conduct initial interviews, and to demonstrate what apprenticeships, work placement and voluntary roles are out there on the market.?
Among the employers taking space at the last exhibition in 2023 were Adra, Conwy Mind, Zip World, North Wales Police, and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
More than 80 per cent of those surveyed lauded the programme of activities and organisation on the day, describing it as ?one of the best career events we have attended in a long while?.

update on above............
MORE than 1,000 people flocked to one of the biggest employment exhibitions North Wales has seen.
The third annual Conwy Job Expo brought together in excess of 1,110 attendees with up to 90 leading organisations at The Barn, Eirias Events Centre, Colwyn Bay.
It exceeded all expectations, shining a light on career opportunities and securing permanent and temporary positions for many candidates.
Among those in attendance were Abergele?s Manorafon Farm Park, North Wales Police, Llandudno Pier, British Army Careers Centre, and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
?The feedback we?ve had has been positive, particularly as a lot of the companies had vacancies and were able to pre-interview candidates, which was great from both sides.
?The workshops we held at Jobcentre Plus in advance of the expo helped job seekers prepare for this important event with top tips on how to stand out to exhibitors and increase their chances of success in finding their dream job.
?This proved invaluable, with many also taking up the follow up one-to-one support with CV and job applications, so that?s something we will look to do again in the future.
?Thanks so much to everyone who came along on the day, notably the exhibitors who showcased the amazing careers available right on our doorstep.?
Jane Cook, the DWP's employer and partnership manager for Conwy, added: ?What makes Conwy Job Expo so special is the very real opportunities that are out there, and the platform prospective candidates had to discover so many different sectors, and discuss with top employers whether it?s a career for them.
?The results spoke for themselves, both in the number of people who attended, and the successful links built between recruiters, educators, and private and public sector organisations.
?Once again, thanks so much to everyone who came along to this year?s event, it was a fantastic day.?
