In 1933 the name changed to The Llandudno and Colwyn Bay District Field Club and boasted a membership of about 250.  Along with their various studies, the club were also doers, being instrumental in getting the Cromlech on the Great Orme enclosed, the Bodafon Stone moved to Eglwys Rhos Church, the continuing protection of the rare Cotoneaster vulgaris plant, the ravens, and peregrine falcons of the Great Orme.
