I saw the following quote in that Daily Post article:

"Nick Challinos, Chairman of Llandudno Civic Society, said: “It’s wonderful news that Llandudno has made it into the top three piers in the UK once again, it’s good for the town.

“If something suitable could be developed on the Pier Pavilion site then perhaps it could eventually win the competition.

“I think the present plans for the site are not quite sympathetic enough or in keeping with the Victorian and Edwardian seafront, although I’m not at all against developing the site."

I thought to myself, Llandudno Civic Society, that sounds interesting - an organisation which could possibly exert some real influence on the future direction of developments in the town. So I googled them...and found nothing! No website, no email address, no way of contacting them at all! How do you join the Civic Society? How much does it cost?

I'm sure it's not intended...but at the moment, it comes across as a bit of a club where only certain people are invited to join? Any sort of organisation without a website these days is well behind the curve.

Perhaps someone from the Civic Society would like to comment?

DaveR:
It honestly amazes me that no-one seems to know anything about this organisation?

Fester:
Because there obviously isn't anything to know.

Perhaps you should form the Llandudno Municipal Committee, and use it as a vehicle to say important sounding things to the press?

Nemesis:
You mean that no one has????? WWW

DaveR:
I'm thinking about reforming the Llandudno Improvement Commissioners. They haven't had a meeting since 1895, probably on a par with the Llandudno Civic Society...
