2. Approval of the Minutes

 It was agreed that the minutes were an accurate record.  Proposed by  Vicki Thomas and seconded by Phil Owen.

 Matters Arising

 No matters were raised, which were not on the agenda.

3. Penygroes Park Project Update

 There has not been much development since the last meeting.  The  Committee saw plans adding a second floor onto the pavilion, which  would serve as a Youth Centre.

 Alun Lewis said that he has applied to the Community Council for  money for a skate-park, seating and trees.  In addition, he has  requested funding for interpretation board and an information board at  Spien Road at the bottom end of Penygroes.

 He stated that Llandybïe Community Council already has funds for  lighting for the multi-purpose ballpark and there is no danger of it  having to be repaid.

 The next meeting of the Park Steering Group is Thursday meeting, 7th  November 2007.

Events

Strawberry Tea - Event went well as expected but figures raised at this event are not available for this meeting.

Flower Show - Over £250 raised for the Gardening Club overall.  Although the number of entries was down, the number of people attending was up.  The demonstration was popular but many people would have preferred if had taken place a little later.

Walking Treasure Hunt – although a nice day, only two people turned up for the event with a financial loss of £75, although it was well advertised locally.  The poor turnout may have been due to the poor summer we have experienced and residents taking advantage of the good weather on that day.

B in the Park - This event for the local youth went well (see the CDO report further down).

Party Fun Day – Unfortunately, owing to lack of support, this event will need to be cancelled although there was a great deal booked for the day including a hog roast, bouncy castle and climbing wall.  Cancellation Proposed  - Julian Tandy, Seconded – Mark Waygood.

Report by the Chair
Julian Tandy, the Chair gave a brief synopsis of the Forum’s work over the past year, including the decision to concentrate on the organisation of events in order to involve as many residents as possible, such as the Strawberry Tea, the Christmas Fair, Flower Show, a strategy, which has met with only moderate success in terms of the numbers, who have turned out.  One important development over the past year has been the appointment of Phil Owen as a community development officer for the Ward, and that has led to the development of several new projects.  The creation of the community website (www.crosshandslife.co.uk/penygroescommunitynews/) has also been a significant step forward.
