We will try and keep up to date with the news of what is going on at Pensarn and the future of the scheme has been a topic of many a conversation recently.

Indeed, before we sent out our first press release we had received £2000 – the proceeds of a Garden Fete, organised by June Williams and Mary Jones, and a Pie and Entertainment evening organised by the local ladies choir, Tonic.

The press launch was a great success with television coverage on S4C’s news programme and BBC Radio Cymru bulletins. The chairman also made an appearance on the Welsh nightly programme Wedi 7.

During the next few days we will be recording – for the very first time in many years of the Welsh Books scheme – on location. Sulwyn Thomas will be visiting the 13 authors who have contributed to a new Welsh book, published by Gwasg Gwynedd, “Taid/Tadcu”- a follow up to a very successful publication last year of recollections of “Grandmother”. This time it will be memories of grandfathers and contributors include Dafydd Iwan and Gwyn Llewelyn and other well-known figures.
