Ty Llywelyn Adain Avion Dance project

We are pleased to announce the start of the Ty Llywelyn Adain Avion Dance Project.  This is an exciting opportunity for the Ty Llywelyn Youth Drop In dance group to get involved with the 2012 Cultural Olympiad celebrations in July 2012. 

We have just received funding from Conwy Families First to enable us to work with tutor Emma- Jane Sutcliffe from Dawns i Bawb to produce a dance routine to be performed at the Adain Avion nesting site in Llandudno in July 2012.  Curator Marc Rees is keen to include the group in his programme of events taking place over the week and we will now be able to produce a professional standard routine that will make us all proud of the young participants.

The group previously performed at the September 2011 Count Me In  concert at Rhyl Pavilion Theatre and footage of this will be shown at Cineworld within the next couple of months

Fingers crossed for our Adain Avion animation project!

Well our funding application for animation training has gone into the Arts Council Wales so all we can do hope that they will like our ideas for getting involved with Adain Avion at Llandudno.

Happy New Year!

The Family History sessions will restart on:
Friday 20th January @ Ty Llywelyn Community Centre
Tuesday 24th January @ Ty Hapus Community Resource Centre

Come and join us!  Bring along any information you already have about your ancestors and try to remember all your family stories - you never know, they might actually be true!

The family history sessions have been so popular that our volunteer has agreed to do weekly drop ins at Ty Llywelyn Community Centre and Ty Hapus Community Resource Centre. We have found out lots of interesting info - eg. exactly who Di's auntie really was (you'll have to ask Di herself for that story!).  We are all gradually getting used to using the online family search websites and have definitely learned the lesson that you have to write the references down as you go. . .

Come and join us on:

Friday 2nd December 2pm at Ty Llywelyn

Tuesday 6th December 2pm at Ty Hapus

Family History Sessions at Ty Llywelyn Community Centre and Ty Hapus Community Resource Centre

Come to our family history sessions on:
Friday 4th November at 2pm - 4pm Ty Llywelyn
Friday 11th November at 2pm - 4pm Ty Llywelyn
Monday 14th November at 2pm - 4pm Ty Hapus
Monday 21st November at 2pm - 4pm at Ty Hapus

No need to book, just turn up on the day.  Please bring as much information as possible.  Any full names, dates of birth, residence, photos or stories will help with your search.  The 1911 census is now online so if you have details of relatives who would have been alive in 1911, the search is all the easier. 
Remember that sometimes family stories may not turn out to be quite as they seemed so the more information from as many sources as possible, the better.
See you there!

Family History Sessions

The Tudno & Mostyn Arts Heritage Group have recently booked a subscription with the Find My Past website to enable us to search the 1911 census records and other items of interest.  Family History sessions will be continuing at Ty Hapus Community Resource Centre in October so if you are interested in coming along then contact Jayne on 01492 877972 or post a comment here.
