WSA welcome Campau Celtaidd Cymru as Full Member

The Welsh Sports Association is thrilled to welcome Campau Celtaidd Cymru (CCC) to the membership base as a Full Member.

The organisation is thought to be the only body to work towards reviving ancient native Welsh sports, such as Bando and Cnapan as community-based activities for our young people.

Campau Celtaidd Cymru are also doing this through the medium of Welsh, striving to preserve national heritage, pride, culture and language in its work.

The organisation was officially launched earlier this year in March, and in May it hosted a Bando tournament for primary schools in Margam. Coinciding with the Urdd Eisteddfod, the event was the first organised Bando competition for over a century.

As a Member of the WSA, CCC will be part of an extensive network of sporting organisations across Wales and beyond and will aim to take advantage of our support with governance documentation, safeguarding and insurance, for example.

Commenting on the CCC’s membership of the WSA, the organisation’s Secretary, Stephen Lake, said:

”We are looking forward to collaborating and sharing best practise with WSA and fellow members as we continue on our journey of reviving the ancient native sports of Wales.”

Cymdeithas Chwaraeon Cymru yn croesawu Campau Celtaidd Cymru fel Aelod Llawn

Mae Cymdeithas Chwaraeon Cymru wrth ei bodd yn croesawu Campau Celtaidd Cymru (CCC) i’r sylfaen aelodaeth fel Aelod Llawn.

Credir mai’r sefydliad yw’r unig gorff sy’n gweithio tuag at adfywio chwaraeon brodorol hynafol Cymru, fel Bando a Cnapan fel gweithgareddau cymunedol i’n pobl ifanc.

Mae Campau Celtaidd Cymru hefyd yn gwneud hyn trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg, gan ymdrechu i ddiogelu treftadaeth genedlaethol, balchder, diwylliant ac iaith yn ei waith.

Lansiwyd y sefydliad yn swyddogol yn gynharach eleni ym mis Mawrth, ac ym mis Mai cynhaliodd dwrnamaint Bando ar gyfer ysgolion cynradd ym Margam. Gan gyd-daro ag eisteddfod yr Urdd, y digwyddiad oedd y gystadleuaeth Bando gyntaf a drefnwyd ers dros ganrif.

Fel Aelod o’r Gymdeithas Chwaraeon Cymru, bydd CCC yn rhan o rwydwaith helaeth o sefydliadau chwaraeon ledled Cymru a thu hwnt a bydd yn anelu at fanteisio ar ein cefnogaeth gyda dogfennaeth llywodraethu, diogelu ac yswiriant, er enghraifft.

Wrth wneud sylwadau ar aelodaeth y CCC o’r WSA, dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y sefydliad, Stephen Lake:

“Rydym yn edrych ymlaen at gydweithio a rhannu arferion gorau gyda’r WSA ac aelodau eraill wrth i ni barhau ar ein taith o adfywio chwaraeon brodorol hynafol Cymru.”
