Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Yr Urdd 1959


Urdd Gobaith Cymru – the Welsh-language youth movement - holds its annual Urdd National Eisteddfod and this year it is hosted by Lampeter. The grounds of the town's secondary school become the 'maes' where people meet and greet and eat ice-creams in the sun. Several babies in prams, and a toddler wearing walking reins, get their first taste of the festival, including a glimp of smiling farmer/bard, Dic Jones, winner of the Chair.
