But music in your blood
and poetry in your soul...."

Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad,
Tra mor yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O budded i'r hen iath barhau.
Land of My Fathers
The land of my fathers, the land of my choice,
The land in which poets and minstrels rejoice;
The land whose stern warriors were true to the core,
While bleeding for freedom of yore.
Wales, Wales, fav'rite land of Wales!
While sea her wall, may naught befall
To mar the old language of Wales.

ANNUAL MEETING
Sunday, January 15, 2012
Don't forget St Dwynwen's Day
January 25, 2012
St Dwynwen is the Welsh
equivalent of St Valentine
She is the Patron Saint of Love
and Harmony
Our Annual Meeting took place at the Red Lobster restaurant and was a great success.  
Bob Griffiths opened the meeting with a blessing in English and David Rees followed
with a blessing in Welsh.

During the meeting, the new Board for 2012 was announced as agreed by the
Nominating Committee.  The Board will remain the same as 2011, with the addition of a
2nd Vice President, Ronnie Crain.

A full report on the meeting will be published shortly.  In the meantime, enjoy these
photographs.
