The Eisteddfod


The Eisteddfod Maes, Pentwyn, Cardiff, 1978

Receiving the letter

Emrys! Emrys! The Chair .....

No. I'll never forget Mam's shout from the house.

Saturday night before the 1961 Rhosllannerchrugog Eisteddfod, and the family had just returned from a holiday near Oxford, where Dad and Mam had been looking after the small rural parish of Crowell as a locum, while the vicar ansd his family there were on holiday. Dad and myself busily emptying the car, Glen, my little seven year old sister being a nuisance, and Mam at it opening a fortnight's worth of post.
