Ga i bysgod a sglodion fel prif gwrs? May I have fish and chips as the main course?

Dw i’n anghofio sut i ddefnyddio’r collnod! I forget how to use the apostrophe!

Mae ‘na bysgod wibli wobli yng Ngorllewin Awstralia sy’n las a pheryglus. There are jelly fish in Western Australia that are blue and dangerous.

Mae gen i wahoddiad i barti penblwydd, a dyma’r anrhegion. I have an invitation to a birthday party, and here are the presents.

Dan ni’n mwynhau cerddoriaeth canu gwlad bob nos Fawrth efo ffrindiau, ond dim ar hyn o bryd. We enjoy country music with friends every Tuesday night, but not at the moment.

Sadly, the situation regarding the virus in Preston means that it is not safe enough for us to meet physically in the Library in the first week of September.  Anyone who is not already on our mailing list and who wants to know more about becoming a member should email us to make enquiries.  We will refresh the information on this page before the first week of October.

Yn anffodus, dydy’r sefyllfa ynglŷn â’r coronafeirws yn Preston ddim yn ddigon diogel i ni fedru cyfarfod yn y Llyfrgell yn ystod yr wythnos gyntaf ym mis Medi.  Os oes unrhwyun sy ddim eisoes yn derbyn negesuon cyson oddiwrthon eisiau gwybod mwy am ddod yn aelod o’r Clwb, wnewch chi anfon ebost aton, os gwelwch yn dda.  Mi fydd fwy o wybodaeth ar y dudalen hon cyn yr wythnos gyntaf o Hydref.

We are still here and there is light at the end of the tunnel …..  The Harris Library is opening up in two phases and Welsh Club hope to be able to meet again by the beginning of September or October.  Further details to follow as soon as we learn what the new regulations will be.

“Dan ni yma o hyd” ac mae’r haul yn codi dros ben y bryn …..  Mae llyfrgell yr Harris yn agor dros ddwy rhan ac mae’r Clwb yn gobeithio cyfarfod eto erbyn dechrau mis Medi neu Hydref.  Bydd mwy o fanylion ar gael cyn gynted ag ydan yn gwybod be fydd y rheloau newydd.

All our meetings have been cancelled until the current Coronavirus crisis is over.  We look forward to happier times and joyful reunions.  Stay safe, everyone.

Mae pob cyfarfod wedi canslo nes fydd argyfwng y Coronafirws drosodd.  Dan ni’n edrych ymlaen at amserau hapusach ac aduniadau llawen.  Cadwch yn ddiogel, bawb.

We had a fantastic time with our belated St David’s Day celebrations in The Continental!  The lessons were well attended, then we were joined by visitors by lunchtime – 28 of us in all – including someone from Liverpool Welsh Society and someone who used to attend the Welsh Society in Washington DC.  Lunch was excellent, the presentations from two of our members were very interesting, informative and entertaining, and everyone was in good voice for “Hen Wlad fy Nhadau” and “Calon Lân.”  There was fun, laughter and friendship.  A day to remember.  Our next meeting is back to its usual pattern on Thursday, 2^nd April, 10.00am upstairs in the Harris Library.  Lessons until 12.15, followed by a short meeting of the Reading Group from 1.00 – 2.00pm.  All welcome.
