The Bay of Colwyn Town Council is now seeking applications from local organisations requiring funding to provide an event, festival or cultural activity which has the potential to encourage community cohesion and attract visitors to the Bay of Colwyn area (Colwyn Bay, Old Colwyn and Rhos on Sea).
The proposed event(s) must take place in the Bay of Colwyn Area between June 2017 and June 2018, be open to the general public and have the potential to attract significant visitor numbers. Applicants must be able to demonstrate a successful track record in delivering events, or be willing and able to work with another organisation which can do so.
A total funding ‘pot’ of £20,000 has been set aside by the Town Council, which it is hoped will fund a number of events. The maximum funding available for any individual event is £5,000 and applicants for larger events are therefore encouraged to seek additional funding from other sources.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Monday 20th March 2017. All applications will be acknowledged and applicants may be contacted to present their proposals in person to a Committee of the Council at a later date.
The Town Mayor, Cllr John Davies, says “Events have played a key role for a number of years now in attracting both local residents and visitors to our town. The Town Council continues to support those willing and able to organise events, in the hope that we can have a year-round calendar of activities to appeal to all ages. The Town Council welcomes and encourages applications “
