Urdd National Eisteddfod 2023 The Urdd National Eisteddfod will be held in Carmarthenshire next year; it was postponed from 2021, of course. Many people know that local groups are set up to raise money to help meet the costs of the week long eisteddfod and all the associated activities held in that week. The group for the Llannon Ward (Cross Hands, Cwm-Mawr, Llannon village and Tumble) was given a target of £10,000.
The members of the group are all volunteers and were able to meet again last week, two years after the last meeting, to plan ways to reach the target by next year. The next meeting is on Wednesday, April 13, probably on Zoom. Anyone who would like to help is welcome.
