Think I know a little bit about the old Con Club Wyn, unfortunately it was riddled with merulius lacrymans and the little wee beastie anobium punctatum or in other words dry rot and woodworm, and when I say riddled I mean riddled, Back in the early 90s when it was still a con club it would have cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to treat it, and I think that has always been the bug bear with this once magnificent building which played a part in the lives of so many people in their early years. Sad but very true
