A group of residents are eager to hear from anyone from the area who wants to contribute towards ensuring the successful use of the artistic and community resources located on the new Godre’r Berwyn campus in Bala.

As part of the of the new school campus, there is a dedicated space for the arts which includes a dance studio and a theatre which has a digital projector to show films.

Cllr Dilwyn Morgan, who represents Y Bala on Gwynedd Council, said: “It’s great to announce that the theatre on the Godre’r Berwyn campus will be called Theatr Derek Williams and the studio will be called Stiwdio Buddug James; two people who gave a lifetime of service in developing the performing skills of so many young people in the area.

“The aim now is to make sure that the local community makes full use of the new and improved facilities. That’s why a group has been formed to decide how to make best use of the arts provision we now have.”

The next meeting of the group will be held at Ysgol Godre’r Berwyn on Monday, 29 April at 6pm.
