Conservation Society Events
The Society normally meets once a month. The events are advertised in our bi-monthly newsletter, and on notice boards in Llanarmon, Eryrys, Graianrhyd, Llandegla, and Maeshafn. Members who have provided their email addresses are also circulated by email. Now that the village website is up and running, they will also be advertised on this site, both as callendar events, and as news items.
The events are free to members, who are just asked to pay 25 p. for coffee and biscuits. Guests are very welcome to attend, but will be asked to pay the modest entry fee of £1.00, which also covers coffee and biscuits.
In the winter months, the meetings are normally held in the old schoolroom, Llanarmon-yn-Ial, unless otherwise advertised, and take the form of talks on a wide range of conservation subjects such as:
Local wildlife protection, such as "The Three Rivers Project", which is the subject of the September 2009 presentation, and which is about a Project to protect and encourage otters, water voles, and birds along the rivers Clwyd, Alyn and Clwedog.

Conservation of old buildings. We have had several talks by Phil Ebrill, the Denbighshire conservation architect, on conservation of historic buildings, such as Nant Clwyd House(above), in the county.
The meeting in April includes our AGM, which is dispensed with as quickly as possible, to be followed by a talk on a more light hearted and general subject. For the past few years our speaker has been Idris Evans who this year spoke about the local history of Owain Glyndwr. He may well run out of subjects eventually, but he has such a wide repertoire that most of us will not realise if he repeats himself ocasionally.

In the summer months we have several visits around the local area, such as the one shown above to Nercwys Forest, to see the local nightjars(hopefully).
In August, the Society has a stand at the Llanarmon show, and at Christmas there is a buffet in a local pub.
