Jane : there wasn't much about Sarnau as I recall, a few photos.

Register - I'm afraid that I don't know.
In recent years there have been many very interesting exhibitions at
Canolfan y Plase in Bala, and it does seem a shame that they are not
publicised more widely.
Most (all?) are organised by the local group "Cantref" (aka Bala and
Penllyn Heritage Society), which does not have a website (which is
understandable), and internet searches do not appear to give any contact
name/address etc.
Exhibitions _are_ well publicised in the local weekly newspaper "Y
Cyfnod" and also in "Pethe Penllyn" (every 1 or 2 months), but again no
contact given.
I should, perhaps (!), have realised that the organisation is better
known as "Cymdeithas Dreftadaeth y Bala a Phenllyn", and is registered
with the Charity Commission under that name - a search on the Charity
Commission website gives details of the charity, including a list of the
trustees & a contact. I guess that one needs to appreciate that Cantref
deals essentially with exhibitions and lectures in Bala, and is unlikely
to be able to respond readily to a flood of queries from all corners of
the world regarding local family history! (Gwynedd & Clwyd Family
History Societies are obvious sources, in addition to rootsweb).
The answer, I'm sure, is to become a member of Cantref.
