Centenary Train Ends Celebrations
It was all aboard the Glangwili Steam Railway for the final event of the Centenary year organised by AG Kevin Sivyer. The event started with a Prosecco Reception at the starting station the Bronwydd Arms. The volunteers who run the railway did us proud with a full three course meal, while the train travelled up and down the picturesque Carmarthen track. It was a very hot day but there were plenty of opportunities to take a moment of two out of the train at the stations. The event was in aid of the Tenovus Closer to Home appeal.
Taith Trên yn ddiweddglo i'r Dathliadau Canmlwyddiant
Taith ar hyd Rheilffordd Ager Glangwili oedd digwyddiad olaf y flwyddyn canmlwyddiant a drefnwyd gan Kevin Sivyer y Llywodraethwr Cynorthwyol. Cychwynnodd y digwyddiad gyda Derbyniad Prosecco ar ddechrau'r daith yng Ngorsaf Bronwydd. Fe wnaeth y gwirfoddolwyr sy'n rhedeg y rheilffordd ddarparu pryd tri cwrs i ni wrth i'r trên deithio yn ôl ac ymlaen ar hyd llwybr pictiwrésg rheilffordd Caerfyrddin. Roedd hi'n ddiwrnod poeth iawn ond cafwyd digon o gyfleoedd i esgyn oddi ar y trên yn y gorsafoedd. Roedd y digwyddiad er budd apêl “Tenovus Closer to Home”.
A Welsh Oak Tree was planted in Bute Park, Cardiff in June, in the presence of the Lord Mayor, Cllr Dianne Rees, to commemorate the Centenary of the Rotary Club of Cardiff and a century of Rotary in Wales.

We hope it will grow and thrive in this beautiful area of parkland and woodland in the heart of our city, that the young tree will thrive and grow into a mighty Oak and that Rotary will continue to grow to serve the community well into the next century.”
