We are delighted to be able to offer the opportunity for your child to compete once again this year. If your child would like to compete in the Eisteddfod it is important that they return the slip from the recent letter by the 22nd of January. You can also find the letter on this website. The county Eisteddfod this year will be held on Wednesday 21st of March in Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhondda and the National Eisteddfod will be held during Whitsun half term (28th of March until 2nd of June) at the showground in Llanelwedd. Please remember that every pupil that wishes to compete in the Eisteddfod must be a member of the Urdd. If your child hasn't paid the Urdd membership fee this year (since September 2017) could you please ensure that they do as soon as possible please.
