Cinema owners to retire after 30 years in charge

THE OWNERS of Tywyn cinema will be retiring this summer after 30 years in charge, as three Dysynni residents take a step closer to taking over in a bid to save the facility for the local community.

Bob and Avril Garrod first took over the lease of Tywyn’s historic one-screen cinema in 1981, running it as a family business, and have become popular personalities with both locals and holidaymakers.

But the couple, from Tan y Coed, Llwyngwril, have now decided to hand over the reins so that they can enjoy spending time with their family, and give somebody else an opportunity to turn it into a successful centre for the town.
