And it's famous pier.., Opened in August 1860, it is the oldest iron pier in the country. Its length of 1,108 m makes it the second-longest in Great Britain, after Southend Pier.

​The Craig -y-Dons did extremely well to overcome the formidable
Llanfairfechan Dragons.
After a slow start all looked as if all was lost, but after lunch and refreshments CYD came back stronger and won nearly all of their afternoon games.
A special well done goes to Alan, winning all four of his singles matches.
​
The lawns at Llanfairfechan where in great condition and a pleasure to play on.
As always our hosts were extremely hospitable and good fun to play against. A mention must go to our stalwart supporter Roger , who cheered us on from the sidelines
