NORTH WALES. Dominated by Snowdon-towering over 3,000 feet above sea level, North Wales is an area of extreme contrasts. From the National Park of Snowdonia with its rugged mountains, alpine passes, rushing streams to the sweeping coastline of sandy beaches guarded by magnificent ca.stles steeped in history one cannot fail to’ be impressed by the endless grandeur and beauty. Your itinerary has been carefully planned in conjunction with Royal Red Coaches of Colwyn Bay to give a most interesting and comprehensive tour.


COLWYN BAY together with neighbouring Rhos-on-Sea has been chosen as the ideal centre from which to base our tour. Three times winner of “Wales in Bloom” competition, Colwyh Bay has earned the title of the Garden Resort of Wales, and is a most pleasant resort with many amenities, including the magnificent Eirias Park and Mountain Zoo.


YOUR HOTELS are all well situated in Colwyn Bay and Rhos-on-Sea, being convenient for both seafront and shops. All hotels have a lounge, bar, colour television, heating and are pleasantly furnished and decorated. We consider that they all offer excellent value for money.

Higher weekend charges


‘unfair’ THE proposed higher weekend charges at the Ribblesdale Pool have come in for more criti­ cism by councillors from outlying areas of the Rib­ ble Valley. The Recreation and Leisure


Committee, which approved increased charges of 20p for weekdays and 25p for weekends to come into force in April; is already to consider again the rises, following com­ plaints from parish councils. Coun. Fred Singleton (Lon-


gridge) told the Ribble Valley Council he thought the charges unfair on those who live far away from the pool. They had difficulty in getting there during the week, and at weekends were faced with higher charges and a crowded pool. “The charges should be the other way round,” he said.
