PEOPLE have come forward following a plea to safeguard the future of a popular Denbighshire association.

Last month, Llanfwrog Community Association made an appeal to see if residents would be keen on joining up to become new trustees at the site.

Since that appeal was made, a number of people have expressed an interest in becoming a trustee.

Trustee Rod Bowden said: "In total, we have had five interested people to date."

At present, the association has three trustees and it can have a maximum of 12.

Llanfwrog Community Association was formed in 2005 to oversee the raising of funds for and the management of the construction of the facilities at Lon Fawr, Ruthin, and the future management of the facilities.

A decade ago, the association's Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) was established and last year, the 99-year lease of the lands at the Lon Fawr site with Denbighshire County Council was assigned to this new charity from the community association.

In addition, all of the assets were transferred to the CIO from the old charity and the existing trustees became the new trustees of the CIO.

Plenty has been achieved by the association in its near two-decade history, beginning with six floodlit tennis courts at the site back in 2006.

This was followed by a community hall and cafe, five youth and junior football pitches, a golf driving range, a nine-hole foot golf course and a crown bowling green.

Three is the lowest amount of trustees the association can have.

If this number falls below three, then the trustees remaining would need to advise the Charity Commission immediately that they are not in compliance with the constitution.

It could also mean that the charity ceases to operate.
