If anyone is interested a talk is being given on Gwenhwyseg, the Welsh dialect of Monmouthshire and parts of Glamorgan and Brecon at the library in Chepstow (Monmouthshire) at 7.30 on 10th November. Entry is £5.00 and all proceeds are going to the National Eisteddfod being held in Monmouthshire in 2016. The talk will be bilingual.

Diddorol iawn…Will a recording be available, or might this be streamed for those of us who would love to find out more, but cannot attend? Diolch yn fawr am eich ymateb!
I think this refers to an event held last year.

Hello, where do you live?
Yes unfortunately the talk was last year. The speaker gave several talks about the dialect of the area prior to the Eisteddfod in Monmouthshire this year.
He is giving another one to the Torfaen Welsh Society in Pontypool on 11th January 2017. It is being organised by Menter Iaith Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen a Mynwy.

Diddorol iawn!!!
Bydd y gyfres yma yn ddefnyddiol iawn am pobl fel fi i glywed.
Well, I am currently living in the US so getting to Pontypool (where I lived for many years) would be tough. Is there any thought of streaming this event or filming it to be posted as a series of lectures on your website post facto? Just a question! It would be a great resource to which to be able to refer.
Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi

Hello
I don’t think it will be possible to stream the lecture or to film it. I am not sure about putting it on the website. I know the previous lecture was on a memory stick and it was sent to me as an attachment to an email so it may be available in some form which could be sent to you.
I will ask but I cannot guarantee the speediness of the reply because the lecture is not until 11th January 2017.
