Sorry for interjecting..... what is U3A?

Abbreviation for University of the Third Age, a group where one meets, greets, socialises and uses one's skills to help others learn and achieve.

On the contrary, Fester, and from my experience there are far more gals than guys.  >>>

You maybe interested to learn the Llandudno U3A is now coming to the end of its first year and has well over 600 members.

Anyway, let's please return this topic to Venue Cymru Arena.

Shocked that Oscar wants an ice rink in the Arena rather than a proper events team in Venue Cymru dedicated to filling the arena a little more.

flogging a dead horse?

Yes the management is crap, but it has to be said the audience around here are not a lot better. If they did get decent acts would people support them?

How many of them came back twice? I think the answer is one - Manics. Seems an odd thing, perhaps the arena isn't fit for purpose, I know Status Quo refused to play it again

Not my sort of music or entertainment, but I really do think the whole strategy of CCBC with regard to the Theatre complex needs serious consideration.   >>>

I've said this before, but even bands like Motorhead appreciate good acoustics,
When I asked Lemmy, (the legendary Motorhead frontman), what he thought about the gig afterwards, he said he thought it was so-so.   He was not happy with the sound quality in the arena apparently.
Status Quo have gone on record as having the same view of the Arena.
When Quo returned, they were booked into the much smaller theatre.

On the subject of Venue Cymru, in 2017 it will be 20 years since the CAMRA members weekend was held in Llandudno.  At that time real ale pubs were scarce and there were no breweries.  The situation has changed massively since then, so the local branch of CAMRA has put in to host the Members Weekend again.

They've been told that it probably won't be 2017 (due to trying to get them North/South alternating), but Llandudno could be in with a shout for 2018. But... at this stage CAMRA are veering towards other places due to the Council charging to much to hire Venue Cymru.

Bearing in mind that it would fill all the hotels in Llandudno for the weekend, not to mention the restaurants, pubs etc. you would think the council would want to support it, other areas certainly do.

Absolutely mental! If they got all those people there they'd make plenty on the food and drink
