Members enjoyed an extremely interesting and informative talk by Dr Gavin Gatehouse former lecturer at Bangor University and his wife Liz Gatehouse. Dr Gatehouse was instrumental in bringing to fruition a remarkable project for a small community – the Anafon Hydro scheme situated above Aber and Llanfairfechan ably supported by Hywel Thomas and Jacqui Bugden. He spoke about the origins of the scheme, the benefits brought to the two villages and the Board’s hopes for the future. His wife also spoke about the Trust, Dwr Anafon, set up to spend the money generated by the scheme. An excellent example of what can be achieved by a small group of dedicated people in a small community.
