MERCHED Y WAWR: Yn y cyfarfod Mis Medi. croesawyd yr aelodau gan Margaret a Gwen , y llywyddion. Llongyfarchwyd tair o’r aelodau. Carys, Betsan a Meryl ar gyrraedd oedran arbennig a Rhiannon ar ddod yn nain unwaith eto. Dymunwyd yn dda i Beryl a da oedd clywed ei bod yn well. Nia Morgan a’i pharti o’r Bala oedd ein gwesteion ac yn ei chyflwyniad pwysleisiodd Margaret cymaint oedd ein braint i gael ein diddanu ganddynt. Pa ffordd well i agor y tymor nag yng nghwmni’r criw talentog yma? Mae Nia, sy’n arian byw, yn adnabyddus yn ei hardal am ei holl waith yn meithrin talentau ifainc ym myd y canu. Roedd safon uchel perfformiadau’r cyfranwyr ifainc, Elan, Mabon, Cadog a Huw yn dystiolaeth o hynny ac yn glod i Nia. Fe’n cyffyrddwyd lawer i dro yn ystod y cyfarfod gyda’u hangerdd wrth ganu caneuon fel “Hawl i Fyw” yn ogystal â’u datganiadau amrywiol eraill o ganeuon gwerin i gerdd dant. Yn wir mae ‘na ddyfodol addawol o’u blaenau mewn llawer i faes. Diolchwyd iddynt am noson o adloniant safonol a graenus ac am greu awyrgylch arbennig gan Ann,heb anghofio’r criw tê. Bydd ein cyfarfod nesaf ar Hydref 15fed pan ddaw Rhiannon Parry i sgwrsio am “Grefftwaith yn dwyn atgofion “. Yn ystod gemau Cwpan Rygbi’r Byd hyfryd oedd clywed Mayumi , un o ffyddloniaid Merched y Wawr a’i mab Carwyn yn siarad gyda Dewi Llwyd ar ei raglen fore Sul. Un o Siapan yn wreiddiol yw Mayumi ac yno y ganwyd Carwyn. Maent wedi ymgartrefu ers blynyddoedd ym Morthygest a hynny’n dilyn marwolaeth Alun Thomas gŵr Mayumi a thad Carwyn a hanai o’r pentref. Bob mis Awst byddant yn ymweld â’r teulu yn Siapan lle mae mam Mayumi yn dal i fyw. Mae Mayumi wedi bwrw iddi i ddysgu’r Gymraeg ac yn ystod y ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf bu’n drysorydd y gangen.
