My friend Pat & I have created a book of 50 puzzles - crosswords, wordsearches, quizzes, logic puzzles, makes etc - to raise much needed funds for this year’s Eisteddfod Genedlaethol being held in Pontypridd in August. We’ve made it so it’s accessible to learners like us; folk who learnt Welsh at school & might be brushing up ahead of the Eisteddfod & fluent speakers. Even if you’ve only just started learning, many of the puzzles are bilingual or you could look stuff up, use Google lens / translate etc to help you out.
There’s a prize competition & prize draw with over 40 prizes, such as signed books from Doctor Cymraeg; lifetime subscriptions to Golingo (so you don’t need to be UK based); meal & book vouchers; and a pair of tickets for a tour of the Principality Stadium. There are a number of discount vouchers inside for local & online shops, so if you live nearby or will be visiting the Rhondda, it’d be worthwhile you downloading & donating just to get cheap pizzas, Welsh cakes or other items! We’ve also included details of plenty of resources to help your learning.
Please have a look - download & give us a little donation of a pound or two for our hard work. And if you’re able to pass round the details to friends, family & classmates to help us with our fundraising that’d would be really appreciated. Diolch o galon!
Just to say, don’t forget our Posau Rhondda puzzle book includes plenty of discount codes for local cafes & businesses in the Rhondda, many valid from now until end of August. So take advantage of the £1 summer holiday RCT bus fares & beat the Eisteddfod rush if you’re in the area & use them now!
That takes you to the book itself, which you can download & save to your computer or mobile device in the usual manner (eg accept the prompt, right click to save etc).
Enjoy the puzzles & print anything you want to do on paper.
Hope lots of you enjoyed the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol either in person or online. We had a great time and our Choir (Côr Dysgwyr y Cymoedd) won the Learners’ Choir & Learners’ Folk Group competitions!
If you’ve not done so already, grab our puzzle book.
Don’t forget to enter our prize competitions. There are over 40 prizes up for grabs, ranging from signed books, free meals and online shopping vouchers to Welsh courses.
We’re now allocating the Prize Draw prizes, for those of you who kindly donated for Posau Rhondda. Look out for our emails / messages in case you’re one of our lucky winners! To date we’ve raised over £850. The puzzle book itself has been downloaded over 3,000 times! Diolch o galon bawb.
We still have plenty of great prizes left, from signed books, vouchers (meals, Welsh gifts, photography session, more books etc), with items worth up to £100. To give people more time to enter after such a busy summer, we’ve extended the Prize Competition entry date to 30 Sept. Please do all enter - it’s a simple entry form (and many of the answers are in the Solutions pages of the puzzle book). We’d love the prizes to go to good homes
