Happy New Year to all the residents of Danescourt and especially the Committee of the Danescourt Community Association for their contributions throughout the year.
As 2012 begins the Committee would like to extend an invitation to anyone who would like to join the committee either as Secretary, Treasurer, an ordinary member or just for a few meetings.
If you have any ideas or projects you think would be good in Danescourt, something for the Queens Jubilee, or simply want to meet your councillors, please come along. We meet the 3rd Monday of every month at St John's Church Hall at 8pm.
Our web site is always looking for articles of interest, pictures, good news stories and there is even somewhere to have a moan, so if you have anything please send it in. |

Heritage Lottery Fund Success
We’re delighted to announce that the Insole Court Trust has been successful with its first round bid for funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
A first round pass and development grant of £165,900 is now available to enable the Insole Court Trust to prepare further plans for the round two bid for £1.9m.
A first-round pass means the project meets Heritage Lottery Fund criteria for funding and is an endorsement of outline proposals. Having been awarded a first-round pass, the Trust now have up to two years to submit fully developed proposals to compete for a firm award.
How we got here
– In February 2011 the Friends of Insole Court were offered the opportunity to take on the management of Insole Court, a Victorian mansion in Llandaff, Cardiff, through a Community Asset Transfer. The Insole Court Trust was formed and was successful in the first stage of the CAT. This enabled the Trust and Cardiff Council to prepare for the transfer with the help of Niall Phillips, architect from Purcell Miller Tritton, and David Clarke of DCA Consultants.
The Trustees have been working hard, holding fortnightly meetings to devise a future for Insole Court that will maintain community facilities and heritage interpretation, whilst also providing business and employment opportunities.
The plans for the Renewal of Insole Court will be available to view in the house in early January 2012 – see the website for more information. |

Following on from our recent news about the scheduled external repair and redecoration works on our local pub, the Radyr Court, we can report that the work has started and that Andrew Bluett, Regional Property Manager of Enterprise Inns has given us the following statement "Enterprise Inns is happy to say that we will shortly complete external repairs and redecorations to the Radyr Court as part of a continuing investment program in our estate. We are aware that the exterior of this house has deteriorated in the past few years and are pleased to change that situation. Both we and our current tenants look forward to welcoming customers old and new to the Radyr Court." |

Danescourt FC was formed in 1985 to encourage children and parents in the local community to get actively involved in sport. With teams in groups ranging from U7 to U16, we have approximately 150 players registered with the Club and around 30 volunteer coaches giving up their time to ensure each team is run effectively to provide enjoyment for all players concerned.

Following many representations from the Danescourt Community Association to Enterprise Inns we can confirm that work on refurbishing the Radyr Court Inn is due to start on 11th July.
Andrew Bluett, Enterprise Inns' Regional Property Manager told us "external repair and redecoration works at The Radyr Court will commence on 11th July 2011 and should be complete within 4 weeks or so".
We don't yet have any more details about the work to be undertaken but the DCA welcomes this long awaited news. Edgar Gibbs, Chair of Danescourt Community Association has been corresponding with Enterprise Inns about the poor state of repair of the Radyr Court for some time now.
Many of you will remember the time when the Radyr Court was a thriving community pub, let's hope those times will return. |
