The Conwy District CAB is one of the oldest in the UK, first being established during the Second World War.  However, the Citizens Advice is a charitable organisation that relies on charitable donations from generous individuals and grants from Welsh and local government.  This year, Citizens Advice Conwy is organising a big Autumn fundraiser, “Every Miles Counts”.  Staff and volunteers will walking, running and swimming 40 miles between 30th September and 2nd October.

Mae CAB Rhanbarth Conwy ymhlith yr hynaf yn y DU, wedi’i sefydlu i ddechrau yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd. Fodd bynnag, mae Cyngor Ar Bopeth yn sefydliad elusennol sy’n dibynnu ar roddion elusennol gan unigolion hael a grantiau gan Lywodraeth Cymru a llywodraeth leol. Eleni, mae Cyngor Ar Bopeth Conwy’n trefnu digwyddiad codi arian mawr yn yr Hydref, “Pob Milltir yn Cyfrif”.  Bydd y staff a’r gwirfoddolwyr yn cerdded, rhedeg a nofio 40 milltir rhwng 30ain Medi ac 2il Hydref.

Not quite - but Rotarians recently listened to a talk from Mike Dean, their President Elect, on Charles Darwin’s theory on creating new climate systems.

Ddim yn hollol - ond yn ddiweddar bu’r Rotariaid yn gwrando ar sgwrs gan Mike Dean, eu Darpar Lywydd, am ddamcaniaeth Charles Darwin ynglŷn â chreu systemau hinsawdd newydd.

It’s World School Milk Day!!!

I was sorry to have missed the Conwy Honey Fair but I was flying back from a visit to the United States on Saturday.  As usual, the feedback I have heard from the event is very positive with those who attended being amazed at the number and the quality of the food and craft producers who were showing their products.

Yn anffodus, collais Ffair Fêl Conwy am fy mod i'n hedfan yn ôl o ymweliad ag Unol Daleithiau America ddydd Sadwrn. Yn ôl yr arfer, mae’r adborth rydw i wedi’i glywed ar ôl y digwyddiad wedi bod yn gadarnhaol iawn ac, yn ôl y sôn, roedd nifer ac ansawdd y cynhyrchwyr bwyd a chrefftau a arddangosodd eu cynhyrchion yn y ffair yn rhyfeddol.  

Of course, it would be completely wrong to end our series of articles about this year’s Conwy Honey Fair by not congratulating the members of Conwy Beekeeping Association who have organized Conwy’s 700-year old Royal Charter Fairs every year since 1990 – we think this year was their 29th year?

Wrth gwrs, byddai’n gwbl anghywir dod â’n cyfres o erthyglau am Ffair Fêl Conwy eleni i ben heb longyfarch aelodau Cymdeithas Cadw Gwenyn Conwy sydd wedi trefnu Ffeiriau Siarter Frenhinol 700 oed Conwy bob blwyddyn ers 1990 - rydyn ni’n meddwl mai hon yw’r 29ain blwyddyn eleni?

Hen Harriers are majestic birds of prey found across Europe and Asia. Globally Hen Harriers aren’t thought of as endangered and once they were a common sight throughout this country. However, thanks to largely human predation, they are on the brink of extinction in the UK.

Mae’r Boda Tinwyn yn aderyn ysglyfaethus mawreddog ac mae i’w weld ledled Ewrop ac Asia. Yn fyd eang, ystyrir y Boda Tinwyn fel rhywogaeth mewn perygl ond ar un adeg roedd yn olygfa gyffredin ledled y wlad hon. Fodd bynnag, diolch i hela gan ddyn yn bennaf, mae ar fin diflannu o’r DU.

Airbus are celebrating the launch of a new satellite, Aeolus, and there’s cause for you to celebrate too! Named after the ancient Greek god of wind, the satellite will orbit 200 miles above the earth, shining a powerful laser down into the atmosphere to measure wind speed.

Mae Airbus yn dathlu lansio lloeren newydd, Aeolus, ac mae achos i chi ddathlu hefyd! Wedi’i henwi ar ôl duw Groegaidd hynafol y gwynt, bydd y lloeren yn cylchdroi 200 o filltiroedd uwch ben y ddaear, gan daflu golau laser pwerus i lawr i’r atmosffer i fesur cyflymder y gwynt.

One of the noticeable features of Conwy this summer has been the planters which have been provided by “Incredible Edible”.  Incredible Edible is a movement all about food: growing and eating food in your local community.
