Cylch Cinio

AR NOS Wener, 8 Gorffennaf, fe aeth criw aelodau’r Cylch Cinio ar ein taith flynyddol. Roedd yn noson braf ac yn gyfle i fwynhau y golygfeydd godidog wrth deithio i ganol mwynder Maldwyn, bro genedigol ein cadeirydd John Lewis ac i Langadfan.

Ar ddechrau’r noson cynhaliwyd ein Cyfarfod Blynyddol. Deallwyd bod y fantolen yn edrych yn ddigon iach. Diolchodd y Cadeirydd i’r swyddogion i gyd am eu gwaith yn ystod y flwyddyn.

Cadarnhawyd y swyddogion ar gyfer mis Medi: Cadeirydd - Tudor Jones. Llanrhystud; is-gadeirydd - i’w ethol; Trysorydd – Richard Wyn Davies, Penrhyncoch; Trefnydd y Nosweithiau - Huw Williams, Aberystwyth; swyddogion y Wasg - Wynne Melville Jones, Llanfihangel Genau’r Glyn a Dafydd Evans, Capel Bangor.

Ar ôl profi bwyd blasus dros ben yn nhafarn y Cann Office yn Llangadfan, croesawyd Alwyn Hughes fel ein siaradwr gwâdd.

Brodor o’r ardal yw Alwyn, sydd yn ymddid-dori mewn hanes lleol. Mae ganddo gasgliad eang o greiriau hanesyddol o’r ardal ac yn arbennig casgliad o gardiau post rhwng 1900 a 1920.

Cafwyd noson ddifyr iawn yn ei gwmni a chyfle i wybod mwy am nifer o gymeriadau lleol hynod.

Roedd yn noson hwyliog iawn ac yn dod a blwyddyn arall i ben a phawb wedi mwynhau cael ymweld ag ardal wahanol. Cyflwynwyd y diolchiadau gan Dilwyn Jones, Tal-y-bont. Estynodd Tudor Jones, ein Cadeirydd newydd, ddiolchiadau i John Lewis am gadeirio tymor llwyddiannus a braf oedd gweld nifer o aelodau newydd wedi ymuno â ni.

Byddwn yn cyfarfod nesaf ar yr ail nos Wener yn mis Medi ac yn edrych ymlaen at dymor arall llwyddiannus dan ofal y Cadeirydd, Tudor Jones. Croeso cynnes i aelodau newydd i ymuno â ni.
