30-11-07: COLWYN BAY ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP WITH GREENTHUMB
Colwyn Bay Football club are pleased to announce their latest partnership agreement; this time with GreenThumb Lawn Services. 

The club already has a well earned reputation for one of the best playing surfaces around, but has now reached agreement with the turf specialists to ensure the club's facilities are maintained and even more impressive in future, especially when added to the recent ground improvements at Llanelian Road.  A comprehensive 12 month programme using the latest techniques have been tailored to meet the needs of the playing surface which when combined with the dedication of Grounds man Elfed Morris will ensure envious looks from other clubs for seasons to come. 

Alasdair Boyes, Greethumb’s North Wales Manager "GreenThumb Lawn Service's are happy to announce an exciting new partnership between GreenThumb and Colwyn Bay F.C. We await seeing the pitch improve after our treatments have been applied, and look forward to a productive relationship."

22-11-07: MARGARET JONES
It is with great regret and sadness we have to report that Club director Margaret Jones passed away last night after a short illness. Margaret made a massive contribution to our club down the years with over half a century’s service. She became a key member of the committee that built the club up from the ashes following the problems of the 1960s. In many ways she could be seen as a trail blazer for female involvement in football as it was not fashionable for women to hold senior positions in clubs at that time. A familiar face on match days serving in the canteen it was only in the last few years that she stepped down from that role to concentrate on serving teas in the boardroom. Margaret would attend games home and away, up and down the country until in recent seasons when she attended only the matches at Llanelian Road. She has been a constant at the club through various changes at boardroom level retaining a dignity and carrying a perspective on matters that had to be admired.  She will be remembered as someone who put the club interests first on all occasions; not least when making a significant contribution in our battles through the courts with the FAW in the early 1990s.

Margaret will be missed by all at the club.

A minute’s silence will be observed prior to the FA Trophy match this Saturday against Sheffield. 

The funeral will be held at St John’s Church Old Colwyn on Wednesday 28th November at 09:45 am.
