Popeth Cymraeg/Welsh Unlimited will soon be opening our second language centre.  This centre will be at the Old Tannery, Llanrwst
The late David Jones, one of the main founders of Popeth Cymraeg would be so glad that our second centre is to be opened in his home town.  Perhaps the whole building will not be used straight away but we do hope to develop it as a centre for residential courses as well as holding our regular weekly courses and block courses there.  We hope to move in soon and we will bearranging courses there from September 2009.  Local residents will also be glad to hear that the restaurant which shares the building with us will also be opening under new management soon.

And slowly the questions occur, vague but formidable for all that.
The Answer, R.S. Thomas

RS Thomas

It is most appropriate for a portrait of RS Thomas to be permanently housed in a Welsh language centre.  RS Thomas is known as one of the greatest English language poets of the last century.  But he is also remembered as an individual who insisted on learning the language of which he was denied, and he enthusiastically campaigned for his mother country, her rights and her language.
