Cymdeithas Treftadaeth Dyffryn Conwy Conwy Valley Civic Society

Our 50th Birthday book

To celebrate our Society's 50th birthday in 2019 we are hoping that it will be possible for us to publish a book/booklet (depending on your response!).

What we are looking for are true stories, memories, snippets of information – indeed anything to do with the entire area covered by The Conwy Valley Civic Society. Amazing, amusing, unusual, sad, happy, historic (or more recent) – all will be considered, and it would be wonderful if we can get some personal memories over the last 50 years ... the sort of recollections that really should be recorded but never have been before.

We're NOT asking anyone to produce a whole chapter (but if you can – then please do!) Contributions can be absolutely any length from a few words to a couple of pages and in either Welsh or English (or both). I would hope that every village and our one town can be represented in some way. Perhaps you can not think of anything immediately yourself – BUT perhaps you know someone locally who you could ask, and who would like to write something for us, there is so much local knowledge out there. All contributions will be acknowledged in the publication.

The CVCS area includes: Gyffin - Henryd - Glan Conwy - Pentrefelin - Tal-y-cafn Eglwysbach – Tyn-y-groes - Ro-wen - Pontwgan - Caerhun Llanbedrycennin – Tal-y-bont - Dolgarrog - Maenan Trefriw Llanddoged – Llanrwst - Llanrhychwyn - Betws y coed Dolwyddelan - Capel Curig – Penmachno – Cwm Penmachno - Pentrefoelas - Ysbyty Ifan ....and all points in between (my apologies if I've left anyone out, this is only a guide to the general area - we actually cover all the valleys of The Conwy, Lledr, Machno and Llugwy). Please send anything you think might be suitable (if possible before the end of July 2019) by email - [email protected] or post to - Catherine M. Hart, Penrhiw, Ro-wen, Conwy LL32 8TR It doesn't matter at all how you send it – typed, handwritten – really it is only the stories that count!
