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”.
