SHOWMAN Henry Danter will be the guest speaker at the next FocusBARRY meeting on Wednesday, March 4.

Mr Danter will take centre stage at the Barry Island Sports and Social Club, Redbrink Crescent, near the former Marine Hotel, at 7pm.

All are invited to attend and hear about his plans and ambitions for the Barry Island Pleasure Park site.

The talk will be followed by the group’s annual general meeting, but only members will be eligible to vote at the AGM.

FocusBARRY chairman, Dennis Harkus said: “Part of the FocusBARRY ethos is the belief that the views and concerns of local people on issues that affect their lives should be given greater priority when councillors and council officials make decisions. Our management committee think the public are unable to play an effective role for many reasons and FocusBARRY can help by engaging with them, trying to inform people by asking key players to speak at our meetings and providing an opportunity for individuals to ask questions and to voice opinions. We also feel our presence and transparency may contribute to the debate on issues relating to Barry. Our meetings are open to everyone.”
