  1. Projects :

 

·         Maelog Lake  -  Written approval has been received from CCW and work is to commence in about 3 weeks time.  A suggestion has been made to locate a bird hide along the banks of the lake and this will be investigated – funding should be available for this. Brett to ask one of the landowners if they would be prepared to have it sited on their land.

The meeting felt that we should improve the area around the car park and the new start of the boardwalk

 

·         Leaflet – We need to have the brochure ready for the end of February – Alison to chase advertisers and arrange a meeting with the designers.

 

·         Boatpool outlook – No further progress

 

·         High Street – a quotation has been received for the manufacture of brackets for the premises along the High Street and this has been passed to Mentor Mon for possible funding.

6.      Web Site/Domain name – Derek advised the meeting that one of the names he had suggested for the group ie Rhosneigr.org had now been registered by another party for their own use and they were approaching businesses in the village to advertise on their site.  It is paramount that we register a name very soon and get the new web site running.  The meeting agreed to register Rhosneigr-on-line.co.uk

 

7.      Newsletter – David agreed to continue to produce the newsletter.  Derek suggested that we should issue one soon outlining the setup of the new group (Project Rhosneigr) and advising of the new web site and the need to use the shopping link wherever possible.  Also we need to hand deliver this newsletter to ensure full coverage of the village.

 

 

8.      Future Plans –

 

We should be looking at the history of Rhosneigr and how we can incorporate it into the web site.

The beach needs to be kept clean and we will have to get volunteers for this.  Jackie to provide the phone number of someone at the council who is responsible for the beaches.

The Heritage Trail is to go ahead and this should increase the number of people who walk the area.

Jackie advised that the walking festival will be launched on 24th May at Plas Newydd which will be open to the public and free on that day.  Celebrities with a local connection are being approached for the festival.

 

9.      AOB: David suggested that the constitution should state that: “we are a non profit organisation”.  This was agreed.

 

There was no other business.
