Clwb Clonc

Clwb Clonc is a Welsh language club which meets weekly for Welsh speakers of all levels to practice speaking Welsh in a friendly environment. The group meets every Monday morning, and due to its popularity has grown to enable us to hold 2 sessions.

Typically, there are around 30 of us each week, and whilst the sessions are casual and unstructured, we have several experts on hand to give support, together with a full suite of course books to support those who are undertaking formal learning. As you would expect we have a very good selection of Welsh reading books at the library which are available for borrowing by any member of the Vale of Glamorgan libraries.

In addition, we are currently organising a coach trip to the Eisteddfod in August. An amazing

opportunity to surround yourself with Welsh language and culture. We have also been able to support a student working towards the Duke of Edinburgh award, where he has devised a social media activity to aid learning.

If you think this is something that interests you, please do come along on Monday morning either between 10.30 and 11.30 or 11.45 to 12.45. You can be assured of a warm welcome from a very friendly bunch!

Hopefully we will see you there – Gobeithio y gwelwn ni chi yna
