After a rather wet start (due to the high tide, not rain!), the Promenade Day at Colwyn Bay was another big success! As with the Extravaganza at Llandudno, it was good to see so many people enjoying themselves.

Promenade Day
Another day, another event! Bank Holiday Monday was Promenade Day in Colwyn Bay (as well as the last day of the Extravaganza in Llandudno) so after having lunch with Jane, I headed over to Colwyn Bay to see what was going on. Another day of sunny skies meant the crowds were much larger than last year's event and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Prom Day Not Cancelled Due To Storm Damage!!
Great news in the North Wales Weekly News this week:
"Colwyn Bay's PROM day is still set to go-ahead despite hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage to the promenade sustained in storms which ravaged the coast.
"Colwyn Bay's PROM day is still set to go-ahead despite hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage to the promenade sustained in storms which ravaged the coast.
Lashing winds caused 40ft waves to crash against Colwyn Bay and Rhos-on-Sea’s coastline ripping metal railings from the promenade and crushing the concrete road, cycle path and walkway.
But despite the damage caused by the weather raising fears the annual May Day celebrations were set to be cancelled, the fun-day is still penned in on Monday, May 3."
Yep, that's excellent news...except the section of the Promenade on which the Prom Day takes place (from the Cayley in Rhos along to Marine Road) suffered no damage to the railings or tarmac whatsoever, and so there was no possibility really that the Prom Day would have to be cancelled!
Still, good news is good news...I suppose?
