Eisteddfod yr Urdd planning meeting (6 February)

Pembrokeshire residents are invited to join in the preparations for Christian witness at the National Urdd Eisteddfod 2013.

Cytûn and the Sunday Schools Council of Wales will be joining forces on a stall at the festival, which is being held in Boncath between 27 May and 1 June. Anyone interested in helping is invited to a planning meeting in Capel Seion, Crymych, at 6pm on Wednesday, 6 February 2013.

If you are unable to attend the meeting but would like to help, please contact Rhian or Ynyr at Cytûn on 02920 464378.

Help will be needed on several different levels in order to make the witness exciting and appropriate. We’ll need a team of people to help set up the contents of the tent during the weekend before the event, we’ll need people in the tent all week and we’ll need help to clear and pack up on the last Saturday afternoon. The Welsh Sunday School Council will have a Christian books and resources stall in the tent but it would also be good to offer children’s activities each day, such as craft work, face painting, singing, badge making…

One of the highlights of previous years’ tents has been the exhibition of local children’s work from their Sunday Schools also pictures of the children themselves enjoying Sunday School activities.  We’d like to see this repeated this year so this will need to be arranged and co-ordinated.

We need to bear in mind that this is very much a Welsh-speaking event and that the majority of the children who attend will be Welsh speaking so we’ll need to ensure that we have prominent Welsh speakers on duty in the tent at all times.  However we very much appreciate the presence and contribution of non-Welsh speakers as well in the tent and in the planning.

So come along to the meeting and please consider spending some time in the tent during the week - and please pass the message on to anyone who may be interested or who has a special talent.
