Hi - I'm Huw Pritchard

Im 68 years old and I live in Gyffin, just outside Conwy, with my wife Alwena and whippet Ted

I have a grown-up son, Clinton. He lives with his family, Claire, Ruby and Grace, near Leeds. We plan to move up to be near them, but things are more than sluggish on the housing market atm

I used to work as a librarian, and then in the fields of rural development and digital information work, but I've been retired now for around 7 years

I'm still busy though - I'm a trustee of Llandudno Museum and Gwynedd Archaeological Trust, and until recently was a volunteer at Aberconwy Talking Newspaper for the Blind (the charity wound up in the last few months)

I'm a fluent Welsh-speaker and an active supporter of the Yes Cymru independence movement. In 2023 I attended the first Yes Cymru conference held in Aberystwyth

I've always been interested in history and since being involved with Llandudno Museum have become more interested in how history is presented

I regularly attend local history walks and talks, and network with other like-minded groups and organsitions through social media and Zoom events. My particular interests are urban rambling, history of retail, town design and architecture - but that's just a summary!

Outside my interests in history, I am a keen quizzer, taking part in online and person-to-person events. I'm also a Spurs fan and get down to London see them maybe 4 or 5 times a season
