WW1

The council is hosting a city wide campaign to raise awareness of this anniversary by distributing packs of poppy seeds for both the public and schools as a reminder of the lives lost.

Brangwyn Hall

Mae Dinas a Sir Abertawe’n coffáu canmlwyddiant dechrau’r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf.

Mae’r cyngor yn cynnal ymgyrch ar draws y ddinas i gynyddu ymwybyddiaeth o’r canmlwyddiant drwy ddosbarthau pecynnau o hadau pabi, i’r cyhoedd ac ysgolion, i gofio am y bywydau a gollwyd

The packs of poppy seeds will be available along with information packs about the world war. The packs will include information about the war, Swansea’s role in the war, a step by step guide on how to plant, how to care for your poppy, and safety advice that might need to be considered.

Darperir pecynnau gwybodaeth am y rhyfel byd cyntaf gyda’r pecynnau o hadau pabi. Bydd y pecynnau’n cynnwys gwybodaeth am y rhyfel, rôl Abertawe ynddo, canllaw fesul cam i blannu’ch hadau pabi a sut i ofalu amdanynt, ynghyd â chyngor diogelwch y bydd angen ei ystyried efallai.

Dylan Thomas 2014

Dylan Thomas 2014

The City and County of Swansea is holding a year-long festival celebrating the life and works of Dylan Thomas during 2014, with the focal point being the well established Dylan Thomas Festival in Swansea which runs from 27 October to 9 November (the dates of Dylan’s birth and death).

Mae Cyngor Dinas a Sir Abertawe yn cynnal gwˆ yl trwy gydol y flwyddyn i ddathlu bywyd a gwaith Dylan Thomas yn ystod 2014, ˆ yl Dylan Thomas sefydledig a gynhelir gan ganolbwyntio ar yr W yn Abertawe o 27 Hydref i 9 Tachwedd (dyddiadau genedigaeth a marwolaeth Dylan).

The festival is focusing on literature but does include other art forms and special events. The year-long events programme is taking place at the Dylan Thomas Centre and other venues across the city. It involves collaboration with organisations and partners at a local, national and international level ultimately to raise the profile of Dylan Thomas and Swansea’s role in the celebrations. We hope you can join us!

Bydd yr wˆ yl yn canolbwyntio ar lenyddiaeth yn bennaf ond bydd yn cynnwys ffurfiau celf eraill a digwyddiadau arbennig hefyd. Cynhelir rhaglen o ddigwyddiadau trwy gydol y flwyddyn yng Nghanolfan Dylan Thomas a lleoliadau eraill ar draws y ddinas. Byddwn yn cydweithio â sefydliadau a phartneriaid yn lleol, yn genedlaethol ac yn rhyngwladol er mwyn cynyddu proffil Dylan Thomas a rôl Abertawe yn y dathliadau. Gobeithiwn y gallwch ymuno â ni!

Did you know?

The Swansea Sports Awards will be taking place at Swansea Grand Theatre on 24 February 2014.

The Annual Swansea Sports Awards recognise and honour the achievements of our local athletes, teams and clubs involved in sport in Swansea, as well as the accomplishments of the coaches and volunteers who play major parts in helping the sportspeople of Swansea achieve success.

This year the awards will focus on athletes competing at a community level with less emphasis on elite athletes. With this in mind we want to celebrate the excellent work of individuals and teams who go the extra mile for sport in their community.

Wyddech chi?

Cynhelir Gwobrau Chwaraeon Abertawe yn Theatr y Grand Abertawe ar 24 Chwefror 2014.

Mae Gwobrau Blynyddol Chwaraeon Abertawe yn cydnabod ac yn anrhydeddu cyflawniadau ein hathletwyr, ein timau a’n clybiau lleol sy’n ymwneud â chwaraeon yn Abertawe.

Yn ogystal â hynny, cydnabyddir llwyddiannau’r hyfforddwyr a’r gwirfoddolwyr sy’n chwarae rhan sylweddol wrth helpu chwaraewyr Abertawe i gyrraedd y brig.

Bydd gwobrau eleni’n canolbwyntio ar athletwyr sy’n cystadlu ar lefel gymunedol gyda llai o bwyslais ar athletwyr proffesiynol.
