Rhiwbina Civic Society
Rhiwbina Civic Society
Rhiwbina Civic Society works to preserve the village atmosphere for which Rhiwbina is famed, and to foster a sense of community and civic pride.
Rhiwbina Civic Society, which was established in September 1997, enables members of the local community to voice their ideas in an organised and constructive way and is a respected contributor in local authority decision making.
The Society meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm (except August and December) in Canolfan Beulah, Rhiwbina, with speakers on a range of subjects of interest and relevance.
Besides the monthly meetings, the Society participates in events such as Rhiwbina’s Summer and Winter Festivals and initiates projects such as the erection of Blue Plaques to recognise the work of former local residents; it also from time to time mounts major exhibitions of local interest, the occasional litterpick and other practical schemes such as local surveys and publications.
The Society’s area of benefit is within the Parliamentary constituency of Cardiff North and comprises the residential areas of Rhiwbina and Pantmawr which are bounded by Manor Way, Ty’n y Parc Road, Caerphilly Road, and the countryside areas to the north from the Traveller’s Rest Public House along Cwm Nofydd.
The Society actively seeks new members. Annual Membership fees are £5.00 individual and £7.00 per family.
