We understand that in some cases very little is known about the progress we have made, so we have decided to give everyone the chance to check this page on a regular basis to see where we are.
Weather Station
We have bought a top of the range Weather Station and it will be placed on the Harbour Masters Office on the Harbour.
This new Precision Weather Station is the ultimate in weather monitoring, with coverage of Baromic Pressure, Humidity and Dew Point, Rainfall, Temperature, Apparant Temperature Index, Wind Speed and Direction, Wind Chill, UV Radiation and Solar Radiation.
This will be linked to our webpage to give the most accurate readings possible for this area all year round.
Barmouth Town Council has now recieved the Weather Station and it has been put up. We will have a link to this shortly.
Green Gym
We are looking into the possibility of forming a "Green Gym Fitness Trail" along the Promenade, that will go from one end to another. This will include small outdoor fitness equipment suitable for all ages and all levels of fitness requirements.
This is in the very early stages, but hopefully it will prove to be popular and viable for us to continue. If you have any comments on this, or information that may help, then please let us know.
No further developments have been made, and it looks likely that this will be looked into as a possibility for next year.
The Council and their representatives were asked their opinion in November 2009, but as yet there has been no reply!!!!
Awards
We are pleased to say that we have recieved a voluntary award from the Welsh Council For Voluntary Action and were presented with this in front of our well loved Dolphin Water Feature. It is an honour to be given this award, nominated by Kevin Chambers, and we hope to keep improving the town for many more years to come.
Barmouth Station
We have decided to use some of the money from the Centenary Draws to go towards improving the Railway Station in Barmouth. This is an important point for those visiting us by train, or passing through, and we hope to add a little sparkle and beauty to this old and historic area.
We have added pots, plants, and hanging baskets, as well as information boards and posters, and they have really improved the image of the Station.
There will be a seperate page for this shortly.
The Palm Trees on the Promenade are looking stunning, especially now as the sun has shone through June and they have been well watered in July!!!
We will be putting lights on them too soon, which will add to the visial enjoyment of the promenade.
Volunteers
If you would like to help on some of the projects or in general, please go to Dave Morris at L & L DIY Centre in Barmouth, where you can be put in his little book for when the big work begins.
