UK visa with past conviction [closed]

I recently applied for a UK visa but was denied based on the fact that I did not declare a criminal conviction of 1989. There was no jail term, but I was given 50 hours of community service and a fine of GBP230. I didn't declare because it took place long ago and I felt, since no jail term, it wasn't necessary. I have since requested for a UK Police record which I have now.

I want to apply again to attend a friend daughter's wedding. What are my chances?
