Lots going on as the
good work continues
A RECENT talk at the
Guildhall in aid of the Car-
digan Castle was given in
Welsh by Heledd ap Gwyn-
for on her trips to foreign
places. The talk was packed
with anecdotes, as lively as
her journeys were colour-
ful, and delivered in a beau-
tifully clear Welsh that the
many learners were able
understand very well.
At the age of 12 her family
moved to Guyana, but was
driven away after a short
time by an epidemic of ty-
phoid. Heledds first trip
alone was to a Kibbutz in Is-
rael where she worked pick-
ing, among other things,
avocados.
The next visit she told us
about was to China. With an
excellent ear for languages,
she was able to communi-
cate the nuances of pronun-
ciation of Mandarin. She
clearly has another gift be-
ing able to make (and meet)
friends in foreign places.
While sailing down the
river she caught sight of an
old school mate on the bank
and this was only one of
several coincidences dur-
ing her time there teaching
English as a foreign lan-
guage.
Heledd regularly visits
Burkina Faso in West Af-
rica and with Criw Coda Ni
is fundraising for Christian
Aid to help improve the liv-
ing situation there. Codi Ni
raises funds for projects,
such as well building, which
Heledd feels privileged to
see the results of.
More recently, on honey-
moon, she went with her
husband, Rhys, to Machu
Picchu, wept at the sight of
it and then later, on visiting
the Amazon river, spotted a
leopard in a nature reserve
that no-one had seen before.
Heledd was given the hon-
our of naming him/her
Arancaya a composite of
Welsh and Spanish connec-
tions. The evening was such
a delight that many present
would surely like be a fly on
the wall wherever she goes
next. Visit the website for
information on forthcoming
Castle talks.
Golf day
ONCE again, Cadwgans
Charity Golf Day in aid of
the Cardigan Castle restora-
tion project has been a great
success, raising thousands
of pounds. Visit the website
(www.cardigancastle.com)
to see picture of the day, as
well as information on the
winning teams.
The teams enjoyed the fan-
tastic surroundings of Car-
digan Golf Club in Gwbert
and its beautiful views out
to the sea. The teams played
alongside rugby legends
Robert Jones and Brynmor
Williams, representing the
Thomas Carroll group, who
also donated a golf voucher
to the evenings auction.
The auction, which fol-
lowed the round of golf, was
great fun, with competing
bids for the many popular
items. The evening then
came to an end following
an entertaining sing-along
where everyone joined in.
Dylan Thomas was the
days main sponsor, and
Cadwgan staff are very
grateful for their support.
We would like to thank eve-
ryone who was involved in
making the day a success
the numerous sponsors, the
teams, the golf club staff
and the volunteers who
helped both with the plan-
ning and on the day itself.

nounced next week.
