Gwenda sends her best wishes for St David’s Celebrations
Gwenda Thomas AM was delighted to hear of the St. David’s Day celebrations being organised by the National Trust at Aberdulais Falls this weekend.
‘This is a one of my favourite times of year, seeing the school children in their national costume and welsh rugby jerseys, with daffodils and leeks adorning shop displays and homes !.’
‘I wish everyone involved in this event, at a wonderful and historical venue, every success and thank them for all their hard work and effort. I hope that the local community and visitors from further afield will support them’, said Mrs. Thomas, ‘Pob dymuniad da gyda’r dathliad o Ddydd Gŵyl Dewi. Mae Rhaeadr Aberdulais yn lle addas iawn i’r dathlu. Diolch am bob ymdrech.’
Notes
Aberdulais Falls, near Neath: 28 February and 1 March
Cawl – or broth is a delicious traditional Welsh delicacy, and this will be the theme of a musical drama performed by pupils of Ysgol Tonna, together with dance groups from Ysgol Catwg (Cadoxton) and singers from Ysgol Cilfrew at Aberdulais Falls on 28 February and 1 March.
"The Waterwheel Singers", the National Trust’s own choir of volunteers at Aberdulais will also be performing a selection of songs as part of the St Davids day celebrations.
The special concert takes place under canvas at Aberdulais Falls between 1pm-3pm, but there will be plenty of family fun throughout the weekend, including quiz trails offering children of all ages the chance to learn more about the area’s early industrial heritage.
