Just a quick update on where we're at with the Chamber right now.
Firstly, we want to extend a hearty welcome and a big thank you to everyone who joined us at our inaugural public meeting this past March 13th. Your enthusiasm and eagerness to support the Ystradgynlais & District Chamber of Trade and Tourism have truly inspired our efforts to make our community a vibrant hub for both trade and tourism.
However, as with all great tales of community and camaraderie, ours has hit a slight snag. We’re experiencing what you might call a "plot twist" in our journey together. Our initial paperwork, sent to register us as a Community Interest Company, seems to have embarked on a little adventure of its own—namely, it got lost! Not to worry, though—we’ve promptly submitted a new set of documents to Companies House. We’re now eagerly waiting, hopeful that our paperwork ends up in the right hands this time around!
As a result of this unexpected detour, our ability to open our official bank account is on pause. This means, much to our regret (and likely yours!), we're currently unable to take payments for memberships. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially for all of you ready and eager to get going.
We are working to resolve this issue as swiftly as possible and are in close contact with the necessary institutions to ensure our new application is processed promptly. We'll keep you updated and will notify all applicants the moment our bank account is open and ready to go!
In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding. Life in Ystradgynlais is never dull, and this little episode only adds to the unique charm of our community efforts.
