ANOTHER SUCCESFUL FORTNIGHT

Fairtrade Fortnight this year was held February 24 and 9 March.

Once again it was a huge success in Ammanford.  We had a number of events, and of course the pinnacle to the  two weeks was the Giant Banana Split which was was held for the sixth time this year.
Ammanford fairtrade town was well represented at the  Foncho Fair Trade Festival on Saturday March 8 at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea. iSmooth Community Café was making smoothies as people rode a bike to power the machine, and local Fair Trade shops Bertram, Harmony and Catherine Blair had stalls at the event.

LLWYDDIANT YSGUBOL UNWAITH ETO

Roedd pythefnos masnach deg eleni rhwng 24 Chwefror a 9 Mawrth.

Unwaith eto roedd yn lwyddiant aruthrol yn Rhydaman. Caswom nifer o ddigwyddiadau. Wrth gwrs pinacl y pythefnos oedd y Banana Split enfawr oedd eleni yn cael ei chynnal am y chweched tro.

Cafodd Tref Masnach Deg Rhydaman ei gynrychioli'n dda yng Ngŵyl Masnach Deg Foncho ar ddydd Sadwrn 8 Mawrth yn Amgueddfa Genedlaethol y Glannau yn Abertawe .

Roedd Caffi Cymunedol iSmooth yno yn gwneud smoothies wrth i bobl reidio beic i bweru y peiriant gwneud ssiodydd, ac roedd siopau Masnach Deg lleol Bertram, Harmony a Catherine Blair gyda stondinau.
