Years UBM have operated

1953 onwards

Overview

This delightful holiday resort, between the Great and Little Orme hills in North Wales was the birthplace of UBM back in the 1950s.

Over the years, the Lord has richly blessed the work here in many ways. The evening Open Air meetings provide a good opportunity each night to share the gospel and sing hymns with mainly older people, and hear the team tell their stories of knowing Christ as their Saviour. Though the beach meetings with children do not draw the same numbers they used to, this centre continues to draw many families who want a quieter and perhaps more traditional summer holiday.

A typical UBM programme is usually games in the late morning, and Holiday Special (our main children’s meeting) each afternoon. This usually starts with a tug-of-war, and finishes about an hour later with the team talking with parents and holidaymakers. As the beach is quite small we make valuable contact with families as the week goes on. In the evening we have our usual Open Air meeting which always seems to go well at this centre. There are two sites we tend to operate from – either by the slipway or by the entrance to the pier. There are many religious folk who tend to come to Llandudno, but sadly many don’t really know Christ as Lord and Saviour. Our meeting each night therefore is a wonderful opportunity to graciously share the gospel in a clear and personal way. We have tried a variety of other methods in the evening program - such as interviewing someone with an interesting testimony, having a Welsh Choir, inviting a Christian potter to bring his wheel, etc. Of course our own team often put together a singing group, and it’s really useful to have a variety of musical accompaniment for the hymn singing, so do bring a musical instrument if you can play one.
