Nid llawer un sy’n ennill cap am chwarae i Gymru fel pêl droediwr ac fel chwaraewr rygbi! Gwyddir hefyd ei bod yn chwaraewr a hyfforddwr hoci, yn rhedeg Ras Yr Wyddfa a Marathon Eryri ymysg pethau eraill. Ond nid dod i son am hyn wnaeth Manon. Fel rheolwr yn y Gwasanaeth Safonau Masnachol daeth draw i’r gangen i rannu gwybodaeth bwysig ac amserol iawn. Cododd ymwybyddiaeth o sgamio a sgamwyr a phwysleisiodd mor bwysig oedd i ni rannu gwybodaeth am ymdrechion i’n sgamio ar y ffon, drwy’r cyfrifiadur neu ar stepen ein drws. Roedd neges Manon yn drylwyr ac yn hawdd i’w deall - fel hyn gall lai ohonom ddisgyn am y sgâm! Diolchwyd iddi am noson addysgiadol a diddorol gan Mary Wyn Jones. Cafwyd ychydig o newyddion a gwybodaeth gan y Llywydd Mair Read hefyd. Cydymdeimlwyd yn fawr gydag Eryl Roberts sydd wedi colli chwaer, gyda Mary Wyn Jones sydd wedi colli modryb, a chyda Nan Jones sydd wedi colli tad-yng-nghyfraith. Dymunwyd gwellhad buan i Gwyneth Jones (Pentir) sydd wedi derbyn triniaeth yn yr ysbyty, ac i Anwylyd Jones sydd wedi anafu ei braich. Llongyfarchiadau i Gwyneth Jones (Fachell) ar ddod yn Llywydd MYW Rhanbarth Arfon a dymunwn yn dda i gangen newydd MYW Llanberis a Nant Peris. Gwnaed apêl am aelodau i ddod draw i’r Neuadd am 10am ar fore Fercher Hydref 23 er mwyn ymuno gyda’r criw ffyddlon sydd wrthi bob mis yn casglu sbwriel o amgylch y pentref.Hydref 15 yw diwrnod ‘Su’mae!’ ac fe dynnwyd llun rhai o’r aelodau i ddathlu hyn.

COLLI OFFEIRIAD: Trist iawn i bawb oedd clywed am farwolaeth y Canon Evan Trefor Jones, Llandudno ag yntau yn 87 mlwydd oed. Am naw mlynedd (1962-71) bu’n Ficer Plwyf Llandinorwig gan ofalu am Eglwys Crist yma yn Neiniolen ac Eglwys y Santes Fair yn Ninorwig. Y Sul diwethaf yn Eglwys Crist roedd y Canon Idris Thomas yn gwasanaethu yng ngwasanaeth y Gosber a thalodd deyrnged arbennig a phersonol iddo. Cafodd ei ordeinio yn 1956 a mynd yn gurad i Eglwys y Santes Fair ym Mangor cyn dod i blwyf Llandinorwig a mwynhaodd ei gyfnod yn fawr yma. Roedd yn hannu o Flaenau Ffestiniog ac yn falch o’i wreiddiau cynnar. Graddiodd ym Mhifysgol Bangor ac aeth oddiyno i’w hyfforddi fel Offeiriad i Goleg yr Atgyfodiad ym Mirfield a ddylanwadodd yn fawr arno. Ar ôl bod yn Llandinorwig aeth yn Ficer i blwyf Rheithorol Llanbeblig yng Nghaernarfon am naw mlynedd cyn symud i blwyf Llanfairfechan gan ymddeol yn 1997 a threulio ymddeoliad hapus iawn yn Llandudno gan gefnogi’r cymdeithasau Cymraeg. Bu’n ysgrifennydd rhagorol Siapterau a Chynhadleddau Deoniaeth Arfon am dair blynedd ar ddeg; yn olygydd cylchgrawn y Ddeoniaeth am ddeng mlynedd a bu hefyd yn Olygydd y “Ddolen” sef cylchgrawn Esgobaeth Bangor. Roedd yn arbennig o dda mewn gwaith ysbytai a derbyniodd gydnabyddiaeth am ei waith a thra yn Llanfairfechan roedd yn Gaplan ffyddlon yn Ysbyty Bryn y Neuadd. Offeiriad ffyddlon a safonol i’w alwedigaeth ydoedd, ymwelydd cyson ar aelwydydd ei aelodau, yn addfwyn,caredig, cymwynasgar a hoffus ac roedd yn barchus o bawb ag yn gyfaill triw. Cyfoethogi Esgobaeth, Deoniaethau a Phlwyfi a’u traddodiadau a wnaeth ac ni welir ei fath eto. Bydd ei angladd yn Eglwys y Drindod Sanctaidd dydd Llun nesaf (Hydref 21) am 10.45am ac yn dilyn yn Amlosgfa Bangor. Cydymdeimlir â’i briod Beryl a’r tri mab.
