COLWYN Bay has already raised more than half its financial target to support next year’s National Eisteddfod at Llanrwst.

The town’s appeal ctte faced with raising £25,000, and so far has amassed almost £15,000.

Bryan Jones, who serves on the ctte, said: “We have run a number of events, and have a continuing programme out into the future.

“Our next event is a bilingual songs of praise concert at St John’s Church, Old Colwyn at 7.00pm on Sunday June 17, which will feature the Colwyn Male Voice choir. Entry will be free, but there will be a retiring collection."
