Canmlwyddiant y Gofeb - The Centenary of the War Memorial
Annwyl Gyfeillion
Union gan mlynedd yn ôl i heddiw – sef 20 Ebrill 1921 - dadorchuddiwyd a chysegrwyd croes y Gofeb Ryfel ar Ynys Tysilio. Ein cynllun gwreiddiol oedd cynnal digwyddiad ar yr ynys i nodi'r dyddiad pwysig hwn ond mae'r cyfyngiadau presennol yn gwneud hynny'n amhosibl. Fodd bynnag, ni allwn adael i'r achlysur basio heb ei nodi mewn rhyw ffordd felly mae cyflwyniad pŵer-pwynt wedi'i lunio ac mae ynghlwm wrth yr e-bost hwn. Rydym hefyd yn gobeithio rhyddhau ffilm fer o fewn yr wythnosau nesaf.
2 ddyddiad arall i’ch dyddiaduron:
Exactly one hundred years ago today – 20 April 1921 - the War Memorial cross on Church Island was unveiled and dedicated. Our original plan was to hold an event on the island to mark this important date but current restrictions have made it impossible. However, we cannot let the occasion pass without marking it in some way so a power-point presentation has been put together and is attached to this email. We are also working an a short film which we hope will be released within the next few weeks.

Happy New Year! Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! 2019
Cynhelir cyfarfod nesaf Cyfeillion Ynys Tysilio nos Fercher, 13 Chwefror, am 7.30yh yn Eglwys y Santes Fair. Ar ôl cyfarfod busnes byr, bydd ein siaradwraig wadd, Ms Aimee Pritchard Robinson, yn sôn am graffiti ar yr Ynys. Nid y math o graffiti sy wedi cael ei baentio ar y cwt tu ôl i’r Eglwys ond marciau sy wedi eu gwneud ar gerrig beddi sy'n dyddio nôl i'r 18fed ganrif a dechrau'r 19eg ganrif. Mae’n addo bod yn sgwrs ddiddorol dros ben.
Ar 1 Mawrth byddwn yn dathlu Dydd Gŵyl Ddewi - ac yn cefnogi gwaith y Cyfeillion - trwy gynnal noson blasu gwin a chaws yn y Santes Fair. Arweinir y noson gan y Parch Neil Fairlamb sy’n arbenigwr ar winoedd, yn enwedig gwinoedd Portiwgal a Sbaen. Dowch yn llu i gefnogi. Rhagor o wybodaeth a thocynnau (£10 yr un) gan Lis Perkins, 01248 712389 neu [email protected]
Er gwybodaeth, cyfrannodd Cyfeillion Ynys Tysilio goeden i Ŵyl Goed Nadolig gyntaf Porthaethwy, a gynhaliwyd yn Eglwys y Santes Fair. Carolau Nadolig oedd y thema a dengys y llun hwn ein coeden ni’n cynrychioli Yr Eiddew a’r Gelynin (does dim prinder o’r planhigion hynny ar yr Ynys!). Diolch i Jill Baker am wneud y rhan fwyaf o'r gwaith addurno.
Aelodau hŷn o Grŵp Cerddwyr Ynys Môn yw’r Silver Slashers a daeth nifer ohonynt i wirfoddoli ar yr Ynys ar 11 Ionawr. Clirwyd darn mawr o anialwch a llwyni ger y llwybr cylchol a bydd yn haws cadw’r darn hwnnw’n dwt o hyn ymlaen. Roedd yn ymweliad trist â’r Ynys mewn un ffordd achos bu farw un o sylfaenwyr y grŵp, John Stubbs, yn gynharach yr un wythnos. Roedd yn ddiwrnod i rannu atgofion am John a'r oll a gyflawnodd ef a'r grŵp yn ystod y 13 mlynedd diwethaf.
The next meeting of the Friends will take place on Wednesday, 13 February, at 7.30pm in St Mary’s Church. After a short business meeting our guest speaker, Ms Aimee Pritchard Robinson, will be talking about graffiti on Church Island – not the modern spray-painted variety but marks made on gravestones dating back to the 18th and early 19th centuries. It promises to be a really interesting evening.
On 1 March we will be celebrating St David’s Day – and supporting the work of the Friends – by holding a wine and cheese tasting evening in St Mary’s Church. The event will be led by Rev Neil Fairlamb who is an expert on wines, especially the wines of Portugal and Spain. Please come & support! For more information or to order tickets (£10 each) please contact Lis Perkins on 01248 712389 or [email protected]
For your information, the Friends of Church Island contributed a tree to the first Christmas Tree Festival in Menai Bridge, held at St Mary’s. The theme was Christmas Carols and the photo shows our tree representing The Holly and the Ivy (no shortage on Church Island of those plants!). Thanks to Jill Baker for most of the work of decoration.
The Silver Slashers group of volunteers from Ynys Môn Ramblers visited the island on January 11th. They cleared a large section of brambles and shrubs next to the circular path so that we will now be able to keep that section strimmed. The visit was marked by some sadness, however, because the group’s co-founder, John Stubbs, had died earlier that week. It was a day to share memories of John and all that he and the group have achieved in the past 13 years.
