Into its third year the Welsh group welcomes new members interested in learning this fascinating language. Join us for a bit of drama, some music, poetry and the odd bit of grammar! We do have fun we promise. Dewch draw i weld be sy’n mynd ymlaen.
There was many a member who was secretly worried about our ‘Fun Night’. Some who worried they might not be able to join in the singing, some who thought their art work would let them down when it came to the illustrating a proverb, some who worried that their Laurence Olivier gene would fail to kick in when it was their turn to have ago at the improvised drama and many who thought that their knowledge of welsh History wouldn’t stand up to close scrutiny …….. but!
In the end everyone had a brilliant time. No embarrassing moments, no being tongue tied and no worrying about saying it in Welsh as saying it in English did just as well. Continue reading

You’re invited to join the Welsh Group, at the usual venue, for a traditional “Noson Lawen” (Fun Evening) on the 30th of September.

It’s a bottle and plate night so book your place as soon as you can. Places are limited. Ring Jane on 526 2530

Didn’t we have a lovely day, the day we went to ……… Wrexham. Well actually we did. The sun blazed, the Bardic Circle beckoned and the Pavilion flags fluttered in the welcome breeze and we were in our element.
We began our adventure with a group photo but who should take it? I approached the first person we saw and asked if he’d take the photo for us. Ever had that sinking feeling? I did, for as he turned around he turned out to be pretty well known …. the former MP for Caernarfonshire but could I remember his name? No!
