Recent Consultations
On Saturday 21st January we completed a further round of consultations which started with a pre public consultation on Monday evening for our members followed by a full public consultation on Tuesday 17th January where the architects and members of the project team were in attendance to answer questions and listen to your comments and suggestions.
There was a further opportunity for our members and guests to study the latest plans on Saturday 21st January. The exhibition material will be displayed in Neuadd Dwyfor for the week commencing 23rd January. We understand that there has been a good response to the request for ideas and comments. These are now being collated and analysed by the design team together with representations made by your Management Committee. Copies of the public consultation material are available by following the links from this article. Here
If you have ideas which you think should be considered it is not too late. Please do so by replying to this e-mail.
Further Meetings/Consultations
We will also arrange further meetings as and when the design of the building is developed and when revised plans become available.
There will also be a further public exhibition prior to the submission of the formal planning application when more detail will be available. We anticipate this will be in early March.
Endorsement to proceed at meeting of 5 February 2011 Copy here.
When the Members met on 5 February 2011 endorsement was given to the proposal, subject to three conditions being met to the satisfaction of your Management Committee (MC). We are pleased to tell you that good progress is being made on all three of these items.
1:Design
Firstly the MC is confident that the final design will meet with our requirements and will provide the accommodation that is needed for Members, Eventers and Public users. This will include the Members’ room discussed on 5th February 2011.
2:Governance
Secondly, considerable work has been undertaken on the governance and management of the new facility and the MC is satisfied that this new arrangement will not only protect and preserve the independence of the Members’ club but will also provide the best management arrangement for this complex multi function facility through a new not for profit company. The day to day running of the facility will be undertaken by a professional centre manager employed by the company.
3:Sustainability
With the new Governance arrangements the independence of the Members’ Club is assured and its long-term security preserved. The MC is therefore confident that the Club will be sustainable in the future.
Work Starts Soon.
We are informed that in order to meet the timetables set by the grant authorities, work will start on the new road at the end of this month. This will inevitably lead to some inconvenience but we hope that by undertaking this work at this time of the year the disruption to members, berth holders and the businesses on the Glan Don peninsula will be minimised. This work will be completed by the end of April and there will be temporary arrangements in place to assist with parking and road crossing facilities until the new building has been completed.
The work on the building will start at the end of this season and should be completed by the autumn of 2013.
The work on the berths is also due to start in September and should be completed so that the new berths and launching facilities will be available for use next year.
Suggestions
We value your suggestions regarding any aspect of this exciting project and if you have further ideas or comments please do so by replying to this e-mail and indicate whether you wish for your comments to be made available on our web site here.
