We are looking forward to the morning together and are waiting expectantly on the Lord.
This email gives some information about the morning and some last-minute advice following the recent weather.
The weather – Having looked at forecasts and weather warnings, tomorrow will be similar to today, with all major routes in the North open as usual and no weather warnings. Naturally, Bala is cold and icy, but the roads are gritted and clear, and we have cleared Bryn-y-Groes of ice. Please take care on the roads and leave plenty of time for your journey. If we have to make any last-minute changes, we will update the website and send an email by 7:30 am.
Location – Please arrive at Bryn-y-groes (Bryn-y-groes Conference Centre, Y Bala, LL23 7YE) between 9:30 and 10:00 on Saturday. There will be a hot cup of tea or coffee waiting for you!
