Public Encouraged To Attend Plas Madoc Meeting – With Rebrand Mooted

A second public meeting has been announced as a trust looks to take over and potentially rebrand Plas Madoc – to Splash Magic.

The Plas Madoc Community Group – formed after the first public meeting on March 13 – is calling on residents to turn out in force and once again show their support for the volunteer-led rescue bid.

The next meeting will take place at Air Products Social Club in Acrefair from 7.30pm on Tuesday, April 8, when committee members will update the public on their ‘rapid’ progress.

Chairman Darrell Wright, who lives in Trevor, said: “We had a fantastic turn-out of between 150 and 200 people at the first and we’re hoping for even more this time – we need as many as possible to show their support.

“We’re feeling positive and we’ve got some really good momentum going, so we need people to show their enthusiasm again and show that they want this.

“We’re making huge strides and the experts we have on board are helping us get through what should take months in a few weeks, so there’s plenty to update the public on. We’ll also be collecting donations on the night as our fundraising begins in earnest.”

The group are also looking at rebranding the centre, with the name ‘Splash Madoc’ being mooted. Over 150 comments have been left on the group’s Facebook page when the name was suggested, with feedback being overall positive. The feedback includes a note that the name ought to have some Welsh in it, another described the name as ‘too cheesy’, whereas others said they liked the play on words as it maintains the ‘Plas’ part of Plas Madoc in sPlash.

Chair Darrell Wright has also invited people ‘to take a few minutes to complete a short questionnaire, which could help future funding applications and will also be key in helping us keep people updated’
