New at Maen Alaw - Intergenerational Bowls!

We’re excited to be launching a brand-new monthly 5 Jack Bowls Buddies Competition on Sunday afternoons at Maen Alaw.

Each team will be made up of:

One older adult
One child

It could be a grandparent and grandchild, a neighbour and child, or any older adult paired with a primary school pupil.

There’ll be music, popcorn, hotdogs, tea, coffee and soft drinks, all in a relaxed and welcoming community atmosphere.

This is completely free to take part. Food and drinks will be available thanks to kind contributions, but there is absolutely no pressure to pay.

We’re now looking for teams of 2 to register their interest.

The aim is simple: to bring generations together and create a fun Sunday afternoon for the whole community.

Interested in entering a team?
Please comment below or message Maen Alaw.

More details coming soon!

Newydd ym Maen Alaw - Bowlio Rhwng-Genedlaeth!

Rydym yn falch iawn o lansio cystadleuaeth newydd misol - sef Cystadleuaeth Bowlio 5 Jac, ar brynhawniau Sul ym Maen Alaw.

Bydd pob tîm yn cynnwys:

Un oedolyn hŷn
Un plentyn

Gallai hyn fod yn daid neu nain gyda wyr neu wyres, cymydog gyda phlentyn, neu unrhyw oedolyn hŷn wedi’i baru â disgybl ysgol gynradd.

Bydd cerddoriaeth, popcorn, hotdogs, te, coffi a diodydd meddal ar gael, i gyd mewn awyrgylch hamddenol, croesawgar a chymunedol.

Mae cymryd rhan yn hollol rhad ac am ddim. Bydd bwyd a diodydd ar gael diolch i gyfraniadau caredig, ond does dim pwysau o gwbl i dalu.

Rydym nawr yn chwilio am dimau o 2 i gofrestru diddordeb.

Y nod yw dod â chenedlaethau ynghyd a chreu prynhawn Sul hwyliog i’r gymuned gyfan.

Oes gennych ddiddordeb mewn cofrestru tîm?
Gadewch sylw isod neu anfonwch neges at Maen Alaw.

Mwy o fanylion yn dod yn fuan!

Visitor Levy Drop-in Session at Maen Alaw

Maen Alaw will be hosting a Visitor Levy drop-in session with Conwy County Borough Council on:

Maen Alaw, Penmaenmawr
Tuesday 16 June
11:30am - 4:00pm

This is an opportunity for local residents, businesses, accommodation providers and anyone with an interest in the local visitor economy to come along, ask questions and share their views.

The Visitor Levy is a proposed small charge that could be added to overnight stays in visitor accommodation in Wales.

If introduced in Conwy, the current Welsh Government rates would be:

• £1.30 per person, per night for most accommodation, including hotels, B&Bs, guesthouses, self-catering lets, caravan and motorhome pitches, and similar accommodation.

• 75p per person, per night for tent pitches and shared dormitory-style accommodation.

For example, two people staying two nights in a hotel would pay an additional £5.20 in total.

The money raised would be used to support local tourism, facilities and services in the area.

Conwy Council has not made a final decision. This session is part of the consultation process, so it is a chance for people to find out more and have their say.

Please drop in any time between 11:30am and 4:00pm.

Everyone welcome.

Sesiwn Galw Heibio Ardoll Ymwelwyr ym Maen Alaw

Bydd Maen Alaw yn cynnal sesiwn galw heibio ar yr Ardoll Ymwelwyr gyda Chyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy ar:

Maen Alaw, Penmaenmawr
Dydd Mawrth 16 Mehefin
11:30yb - 4:00yp

Dyma gyfle i drigolion lleol, busnesau, darparwyr llety ac unrhyw un sydd â diddordeb yn yr economi ymwelwyr leol ddod draw, gofyn cwestiynau a rhannu eu barn.

Mae’r Ardoll Ymwelwyr yn dâl bach arfaethedig a allai gael ei ychwanegu at arosiadau dros nos mewn llety ymwelwyr yng Nghymru.

Pe bai’n cael ei gyflwyno yng Nghonwy, y cyfraddau presennol gan Lywodraeth Cymru fyddai:

• £1.30 y person, y noson ar gyfer y rhan fwyaf o lety, gan gynnwys gwestai, tai llety, llety hunanarlwyo, lleiniau carafannau a chartrefi modur, a llety tebyg.

• 75c y person, y noson ar gyfer lleiniau pebyll a llety arddull dormitori a rennir.

Er enghraifft, byddai dau berson yn aros am ddwy noson mewn gwesty yn talu £5.20 yn ychwanegol i gyd.

Byddai’r a***n a godir yn cael ei ddefnyddio i gefnogi twristiaeth leol, cyfleusterau a gwasanaethau yn yr ardal.

Nid yw Cyngor Conwy wedi gwneud penderfyniad terfynol. Mae’r sesiwn hon yn rhan o’r broses ymgynghori, felly mae’n gyfle i bobl gael gwybod mwy a dweud eu dweud.

Galwch heibio unrhyw bryd rhwng 11:30yb a 4:00yp.

Croeso i bawb.

An eventful day at Maen Alaw today.
Unfortunately, a truck hit and damaged part of our railings.
Most importantly, nobody was hurt, and that is the main thing.
We’ll now be looking at the damage and getting things sorted as soon as possible.

Diwrnod digon digwyddiadol ym Maen Alaw heddiw.
Yn anffodus, fe darodd lori ran o’n rheiliau gan achosi difrod.
Y peth pwysicaf yw nad oedd neb wedi cael ei anafu.
Byddwn nawr yn asesu’r difrod ac yn trefnu i gael popeth wedi’i drwsio cyn gynted â phosibl.

Un syniad rydym yn ei ystyried yw agor caffi cymunedol fforddiadwy, gan gynnig prydau iach am bris rhesymol, coffi da, croeso cynnes - lle i bawb fwynhau ei hunan.

Rydym hefyd yn edrych ar syniadau fel coginio ar gyllideb, prydau iach a fforddiadwy, magu hyder yn y gegin, cymdeithasu, cefnogaeth cymunedol, a dod â mwy o bobl i mewn i’r adeilad.

Ond cyn penderfynu ar unrhyw beth, rydym eisiau clywed gennych chi.

Beth hoffech chi ei weld ym Maen Alaw?
Beth fyddai o ddiddordeb i chi, eich teulu, eich cymdogion, neu’r gymuned ehangach?

We have big plans to support our own community here in Penmaenmawr.

We are exploring plans to open an affordable community café, offering low-cost meals, good barista coffee, and practical support for people who are finding things tough.

We also want to create opportunities for people to learn how to cook healthy, affordable meals, plan meals on a budget, and feel more confident in the kitchen.

Mae gennym gynlluniau mawr i gefnogi ein cymuned yma ym Mhenmaenmawr.

Rydym yn edrych ar gynlluniau i agor caffi cymunedol fforddiadwy, gan gynnig prydau rhad, coffi barista da, a chefnogaeth ymarferol i bobl sy’n wynebu cyfnodau anodd.

Rydym hefyd eisiau creu cyfleoedd i bobl ddysgu sut i goginio prydau iach a fforddiadwy, cynllunio prydau ar gyllideb, a theimlo’n fwy hyderus yn y gegin.

Cyn i ni ddechrau ar y daith gyffrous hon, hoffem glywed gan ein cymuned. Bydd eich adborth yn ein helpu i ddeall anghenion lleol ac i lunio’r caffi o amgylch blaenoriaethau go iawn pobl leol.
