Clwb y Bont

MEINIR Gwilym oedd y wraig wadd i ginio Nadolig Clwb y Bont, gyda’r gwragedd yn bresennol.

Croesawyd hi gan gadeirydd y clwb, Mici Plwm, a dynnodd sylw at ei chyfraniad sylweddol i ganu poblogaidd yng Nghymru.

Dywedodd Meinir mai nid dod yno i siarad mohonni ond y byddai yn mynegi ei hunan mewn cerddoriaeth.

Gan gychwyn gyda dwy gân werin ar osodiadau newydd, aeth ymlaen i’n diddori am dros awr gyda’i chyfansoddiadau hyfryd ei hunan.

Caneuon yn llawn barddoniaeth a theimlad. Daeth hi a’r noson i ben yn addas iawn gyda dwy garol.

Diolchwyd iddi gan Victor Jones.

Plaid Cymru leader

THE large dining room at the Crown Hotel was full to overflowing at lunchtime last Saturday.

Adam Price, the newly-elected leader of Plaid Cymru was in town, meeting old and new members of Plaid Cymru and anyone else who wants Wales to have a better future.

Over 3,500 new members have joined Plaid Cymru since Adam Price was elected leader, 330 from Dwyfor Meirionnydd constituency alone.

He described Brexit as a “farcical fisasco” and that the fact that Wales had no independent voice in the negotiations with the European Union was certain to lead to the needs of Wales being ignored.

Adam Price was also signing copies of his new book, Wales: The First and Final Colony, with many buying a bundle as Christmas presents.

“It was a truly memorable event” said Wil Roberts, secretary of the Pwllheli branch of Plaid Cymru which had organized the meeting.

“People had flocked to the Crown from as far as Liverpool and Anglesey and were electrified by Adam Price’ vision of an independent Wales.”

An unusual feature of the meeting was that there was a free lunch for everyone, home made lobscouse or Mici Plwm’s vegetable curry.

“It’s important to feed the body as well as the mind” said Sue Roberts, who was in charge of the food.

Y Gymdeithas Ddiwylliannol

CYNHALIWYD ail gyfarfod y tymor o’r Gymdeithas, ac er gwaethaf y tywydd daeth nifer ynghyd i wrando ar y siaradwr gwadd, sef Dawi Griffith o Drefor.

Soniodd yn fanwl ac yn ddifyr am gyfansoddwr yr emyn enwog ‘O na bawn i fel Efe’, sef Eleazar Roberts, un a fagwyd ym Mhwllheli.

Soniodd hefyd am gysylltiad yr awdur â John Curwen a wnaeth gymaint i hyrwyddo tonic sol-ffa.

Ar ddiwedd y cyfarfod canodd y gynulleidfa’r emyn drwyddo i gyfeiliant Morfydd Roberts.

Llywydd y noson oedd brodor arall o Drefor ac aelod o’r capel, Gwyndaf Hughes.
