Llywela Edwards is the Chair of Uwchaled YFC in Clwyd and often wonders how she finds the time to lead 60 members, as well as hold down a full time job and hobbies. We find out in this week's Club Officer Check-in –answers are in Welsh and English.
13 mlynedd, ac yn hen bryd imi ymddeol!
13 Years, and it's about time I retire!
Gorfod meddwl am y gystadleuaeth neu'r digwyddiad nesa bob tro - mai'n ‘all-go’!
Having to always think about the next competition or event, it's crazy, but that's why we love it!
Rydym yn cwrdd bob nos Lun yn y Neuadd leol, ac yn croesawu unrhyw un rhwng 13 a 28. Rydym yn trefnu rhai digwyddiadau i'r aelodau dros 18, ac mae Sir Clwyd yn trefnu ambell noson i'r aelodau dan 18, ond ar y cyfan, ma’n well ganddoni fod hefo’n gilydd!
We meet every Monday night in the village hall, and we welcome anyone between 13-28. We arrange some activities for members over 18 (one guess what that involves). Clwyd County often arranges activities for under 18 members, but overall, we prefer to do everything together as a club.
Cwestiwn da: dwi’n gweithio i Gomisiynydd y Gymraeg, yn chwarae pêl droed bob dydd Sul, ac yn canu mewn côr, ymysg llawer o bethau eraill.
I'm not sure I do...I work full time with the Welsh Language Commissioner, play football every Sunday, sing in a choir, amongst other things! But somehow I do manage to fit everything in!
Gobeithio fy mod wedi datblygu sgiliau o arwain y clwb, gan fod yn esiampl dda i aelodau iau.
I hope I've learned how to lead a club, and be an example to younger members.
Gan fod y Clwb yn gwneud gymaint yn y gymuned, mae aelodau newydd yn ymuno bob blwyddyn heb lawer o waith recriwtio. Digwyddiad cynta'r flwyddyn bob tro yw’r Helfa Drysor, sydd bob amser yn boblogaidd!
As the Club is so active in the community, we have new members joining every year without much persuasion. Our first event of the year is the treasure hunt, which is always popular with our members.
Mae’r gwhaniaeth oedran rhwng aelodau hŷn a iau y clwb yn gallu teimlo’n fawr ar brydiau. Dyma pam ein bod yn ceisio creu awyrgylch ein bod i gyd yn y clwb yn un criw, a nid ni fel athrawon i’r rhai iau!
The age gap between senior and junior members can feel massive at times. That’s why we’ve tried to create an environment in the club where everyone is one team, and we are not there to babysit!
Mae Mared, ein ysgrifenyddes wych, yn cynllunio'r mwyafrif o nosweithiau clwb ar ddechrau bob tymor. Deni’n trio cael cymysgedd o dripiau a nosweithiau lleol (am ddim!) i osgoi bod rhy gostus.
Mared, our secretary, arranges most of the club nights at the start of each term. We try to have a balance between trips, and local club nights (which are free!) to avoid too much cost to members. Games night is always popular!
Cael ffrindiau da a chefnogaeth. Mae'n waith caled bod ar y pwyllgor felly mae angen gweithio fel tim i wneud yr holl beth fymryn yn haws!
To have good friends and support around you. Being on the committee is hard work, so having a good team working together makes it all a little bit easier!
