Email friendsofgarn@gmail. com LLAN FFESTINIOG WI: Joan Yates welcomed members and visitors to the June meeting. It was decided to dispense with the train trip in August as the time did not marry with the boat time. The speaker from Snowdonia National Park, Jess Easton was unwell and was substituted by Naomi. She spoke about the poet Hedd Wyn who was born Ellis Humphrey Evan in 1887. The family moved to the hill farm Yr Ysgwrn in Cwm Prysor where he was brought up. He attended school until he was 14 years old and then worked on his father’s farm. However he had already shown a talent for writing poetry having written his first poem at the age of 11. He was conscripted into the army and sent to Belgium where he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Passchendale in July 1917. He was posthumously awarded the Bard’s Chair at the 1917 National Eisteddfod. The Chair was draped in a black shroud. Naomi said that when Snowdonia National Park bought Yr Ysgwrn it was in a bad state of repair. Yr Ysgwrn is now open to the public from Tuesday to Sunday between 10.30am and 4pm.
