Chwilio am wirfoddolwyr ar gyfer Prosiect Enwau Ffermydd a Chaeau Blaenau Tywi
Mae Cymdeithas Gymunedol Cil-y-cwm, gyda chymorth Grŵp Hanes Blaenau Tywi wedi llwyddo i gael cymorth ariannol gan Gynllun Grantiau Tirwedd a Threftadaeth Sir Gaerfyrddin dan y Cynllun Datblygu Gwledig i gofnodi enwau ffermydd a chaeau yn Rhandir-mwyn a Chil-y-cwm.
Y nod yw creu cronfa ddata ar-lein a fydd yn darparu gwybodaeth am yr ardal i haneswyr a phobl sy’n hel achau. Yn ogystal, cyhoeddir llyfr dwyieithog a fydd yn cynnwys y ffeithiau, hanesion a lluniau mwyaf diddorol a fydd yn deillio o’r prosiect. Elfen arall fydd datblygu dau lwybr llafar a fydd yn galluogi ymwelwyr a phobl leol i gerdded drwy rai o’r caeau a nodir yn y llyfr a chlywed hanesion diddorol am y dirwedd.
Mae angen gwirfoddolwyr ar y prosiect, a gwahoddir pawb sydd â diddordeb i fynychu cyfarfod yn nhafarn y Neuadd, Cil-y-cwm, ddydd Llun 1 Hydref am 7.30pm.
Edrychwn ymlaen at eich gweld yn y cyfarfod os hoffech ymuno â’r tîm, neu os oes gennych wybodaeth neu luniau a allai fod o ddiddordeb i’r prosiect. Byddwch cystal â chysylltu â‘r Ysgrifennydd, Liz Wakely, ar 01550 750 211 / liz.wakely@btinternet.com os ydych yn bwriadu bod yn bresennol.
Cilycwm Community Association with the assistance of the Upper Towy valley History Group has been successful in obtaining funding from the RDP Sir Gar Carmarthenshire Landscape and Heritage Grant in order to undertake an exciting project to record the farms and field names in Rhandirmwyn and Cilycwm.
They aim to create a useful online database which will inform historians and family history buffs keen to find out more about the area. In addition a bilingual book will be produced which will contain the most intriguing stories and images obtained by the project. Another bonus will be the development of two audio trails which will be downloadable from both community association websites to enable visitors as well as locals to the area to walk through some of the fields detailed in the book and find out the story behind the landscape.
The project is putting out a call for volunteers and will be holding their first meeting at 7.30pm, in The Neaudd Arms in Cilycwm, on Monday October 1st . (see events)
So come along if you are interested in joining the team, or if you have information or photos that might be useful to the project. Please contact the Secretary Liz Wakely on 01550 750 211 / liz.wakely@btinternet.com if you would like to attend.
