About Us
This website is owned and managed by the Barmouth Publicity Association (BPA). The BPA has been in existence for over 100 years. It performs the functions often done by a Town Council or Chamber of Commerce of publicising the town to visitors and locals.
The constitution of the BPA has 4 objectives:
-
To promote Barmouth and the surrounding area to current and potential visitors and
residents. -
To further the interests of Barmouth and the surrounding area by raising its profile across
the UK and international markets. -
To carry out group or collective marketing initiatives and other projects considered
suitable in pursuance of these objectives. -
To engage with other local, national or international groups and organisations to ensure
Barmouth is promoted effectively.
Membership is open to anyone who wishes to join, anyone who advertises with the BPA is automatically a member. Others interested in being members can apply to the committee. The BPA has a management committee elected at the AGM to which all members are invited. The BPA has close links with the Town Council and with the Barmouth Walking Festival.
The current committee members are: Zarina Lamb (Chair), Kenny Baird (Treasurer), Lena Vacher (Administrator and Town Council representative), Trevor Parry (Social Media), Iain Paterson, Faith Atkins, Dave Powley, Laura Wild, Dorian Ashton, Angie Bosley, Claire Corbett, Jan Leigh, Yvonne Winrow and Mark Atkinson.
