Côr Llundain

---

Ffurfiwyd Côr Llundain yn 2017 gan aelodau Aelwyd Llundain, wedi i ni sylweddoli’n bod ni’n rhy hen bellach i fod yn Aelwyd…! Erbyn hyn mae gennym 45 o aelodau o bob oedran, o fyfyrwyr israddedig i Gymry sydd wedi’u hymgartrefi yn Llundain ers degawdau. Yn ein plith mae athrawon, cyfreithwyr, cyfrifwyr, nyrsys, meddygon, gweision sifil, newyddiadurwyr, dylunwyr...yn ogystal ag ambell i gerddor! Ein nod yw hyrwyddo cerddoriaeth Cymru a’r iaith Gymraeg yn Llundain a thu hwnt. Cynhelir ein hymarferion i gyd, a’n gweithgareddau cymdeithasol hefyd, yn gyfan gwbl trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg, ac rydym yn blaenoriaethu cyfansoddwyr Cymraeg yn ein rhaglenni. Will Thomas yw'r arweinydd ers sefydlu'r cor, a Sioned Thomas erbyn hyn yw llywydd y cor.

Rydym wedi cystadlu ym mhrif gystadleuaeth corau cymysg yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol pob blwyddyn ers ein sefydlu, sef 2018, 2019 a 2022. Eleni cawsom yr ail safle, ac er taw dim ond dau gôr oedd yn cystadlu, roeddwn ni’n hynod o falch bod y beirniaid wedi’n hystyried yn deilwng o wobr! Ond yn bwysicach na’r wobr oedd y cymryd rhan, eleni yn fwy nag erioed, wedi cyfnod y pandemic a’i amryw heriau.

Cyn y pandemic buodd y Côr yn ffodus i berfformio yn 10 Downing St, Ysgol Harrow (dan arweiniad Owain Arwel Hughes), capel Coleg y Drindod, Caergrawnt, a Chapel Jewin (gyda Gwyn Hughes Jones a Rebecca Evans). Rydym hefyd yn cefnogi cymanfa ganu flynyddol Llundain, ‘Cymanfa Westminster’.

Ein nod wrth i ni symud ymlaen dros y flwyddyn nesaf yw i dyfu ein haelodaeth, i atgyfnerthu ein cysylltiadau gyda’r byd corawl yng Nghymru, ac i barhau i gynnig cyfleoedd newydd a chyffroes i’n haelodau i berfformio, a'r cwbl trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.

Cynhadledd Plaid Cymru. Yng nghynadledd Plaid Cymru eleni roedd yn bleser cyfarfod Michelle O’Neill aelod blaenllaw o Gynulliad Gogledd Iwerddon yng nghwmni arweinydd Plaid Cymru Adam Price yntau fel Heledd Fychan yn aelod o Senedd Cymru. Cyflwynwyd llun o Cofiwch Tryweryn iddi .

Gŵyl Ban Geltaidd yn ol yn 2023 (Saesneg yn unig)

Gyfeillion,
O’r diwedd daeth newyddion atom ynghylch yr Ŵyl Ban Geltaidd.
Gwaith mawr rŵan o’n blaenau er mwyn trefnu cystadleuwyr a chefnogwyr.
Mwy o wybodaeth ar y ffordd.
Cofion caredig,
Arwel

A chairde,
I am pleased to announce that the Pan Celtic International Festival will resume in 2023!
We will be adhering to the traditional dates, commencing the day after Easter Bank Holiday Monday, therefore the official dates for the next festival are:
Tuesday – Sunday, 11 – 16 April 2023 (even though Sunday has always been included in the festival dates, events generally conclude late at night on the Saturday night of the festival to allow for travel time for delegations returning home.)
Ceatharlach has been appointed Host Town for the 2023 festival – Bríde de Róiste and her distinguished lieutenants, Emma & Ollie, have commenced preparations and an advance brochure will be forwarded to you.
We will also adhere to the general timetable of our previous festivals.
I would like to draw your attention to the Pan Celtic International Song Contest.
National Committees have a number of options open to them when entering for the 2023 Pan Celtic International Song Contest.
In instances where National Song Contests had already taken place by the time the 2020 festival was cancelled the winning songs may be entered in the 2023 Pan Celtic International Song Contest if National Committees wish to do so.
Such songs may be entered in addition to the winning song if a National Song Contest is held in 2023.
National Committees are not required to hold a National Song Contest in 2023 if they do not wish to do so.
This means that there may be 1 entry or 2 entries per nation in the 2023 competition.
The Pan Celtic website will be updated regularly.
Regarding accommodation – Bríde will forward details to you in due course.
I look forward to seeing you all again.
Le meas,
Máirín
MÁIRÍN NIC DHONNCHADHA
