Taith Tractors i’r Merched

CYNHALIWYD Taith Tractors i ferched yn unig yn ddiweddar yn Aberdaron a chafwyd diwrnod hyfryd yn teithio ffyrdd bach gwledig Aberdaron a’r ardal a chafwyd hefyd amser i fwynhau picnic ar y ffordd.

Trefnwyd y daith gan griw o famau Ysgol Meithrin Aberdaron a lwyddwyd i godi cyfanswm o £643 i’r Ysgol Feithrin yn Aberdaron.

Hoffai’r merched ddiolch i bawb wnaeth eu cefnogi mewn unrhyw ffordd a’i wneud yn llwyddiant.

Trefnwyd un llynedd hefyd a chasglwyd £603.

Y gobaith ydy y bydd un eto y flwyddyn nesa’.
