Ah, obviously the forum software doesn't like the dollar sign in the URL.

Here it is from Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z9w696tgawk6b5y/201314StatementofAccountsPostAuditAdjAMENDED.doc.pdf?dl=0

Talking of Venue Cymru, the amended draft of the Annual Accounts has appeared today as part of the agenda for the Audit Committee next week.

This years loss is a mere £1,891,000 or £1,856,000 before IAS19 adjustment.

Turnover was DOWN from £5,046,000 to £4,387,000 and expenditure likewise from £7,056,000 in 2012/13 to £6,243,000 in 2013/14.

However, it did achieve it's objective of "making a surplus on the costs of performances and conferences in order to make a
contribution towards the staffing, maintenance and other running costs of the building".  Or in other words, taxpayers are still paying for a white elephant.

Nice to see the improvement, only one thing to say......

Brilliant, though tickets are a little steep! £38 quid! Is that 2 quid for every year since he last had a song in the charts?

Still I will go though as I saw him at Glastonbury in 2003 and it's one of my happiest memories... peeking out as it does, between all the bitterness and moaning

C Jones - just out of interest and totally off topic. Are you the same C Jones that posted this?

A pub is not the place for a baby.

On the DM website - it's the thing I read immediately after I replied to your David Gray post! What a coincidence 

[C_jones]

Haha, nah thats not me!

It is just within the realms of possibility that there is more than one C Jones in North Wales.

Jessie J, Tom Jones and Jools Holland pictures in Conwy arts showcase

A PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibition that charts highlights in Conwy county’s arts calendar has opened.
 
Document Conwy’s exhibition at the Y Review restaurant in Venue Cymru, Llandudno has been collated from the thousands of photographs taken by Paul Sampson.
 
He said: “It’s been a wonderful opportunity to showcase the life and work behind the scenes at the county’s theatres and performances spaces.
“This also offers a rare chance to own a unique print from the exhibition as we have been running a crowd-funding campaign to cover the costs of print production.”
The exhibition, which opens tomorrow Wednesday, October 8 features stars such as Jools Holland, Marc Almond, Tom Jones, Jessie J and Rick Wakeman, as well as shots of performers and sets and stage crew at major musicals such as Cats and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
