Brethren, I thoroughly enjoyed the Annual General Meeting on Saturday. It was a stressful day, I was very tired when I arrived home, but it was such a pleasure to see so many of you present. The lunch was excellently attended.
Although
the day was in a way sad, it turned out to be a good day. To see two such dedicated
Officers of the Province giving up their posts was, naturally, a matter for
some sorrow.
But it was a joy to see the way all responded to the request to show appreciation. I am sure we all wish them a long and happy retirement and many visits to check the new team!!
It was a great pleasure to see R.W.Brother Ian L. Mackeson-Sandbach present. It was good of him to address the two outgoing Brethren at the lunch. He certainly knew their value. His indication to me was that he would assist this Province in the future as he has done in the past. I wish him and his wife well.
I thank all my outgoing Officers for their company and support and hope that they will carry on working in their respective Groups and Lodges. I welcome all the new Officers. I hope that we will all enjoy being together and go around the Province with hope and happiness in our hearts.
Please try and persuade more and more, especially the recipients of Honours, to attend the AGM. It is important.
Please bear with me, my Deputy and Assistants and, especially, the new Provincial Grand Secretary as we try to settle down anew and forge a new way ahead. They should be interesting times as we try to improve our standing in the community and, equally as important, improve the standard of our Brotherhood.
I thank all who have worked so hard to make the Annual Meeting a success and did the fetching and carrying, the setting out and wiring me to the microphone. I'll watch it next year!
Thank you all for your assistance in every way and thank you all for your support.
Frodyr, Mwynhad pur fu'r Cyfarfod Blynyddol i mi y Sadwrn diwethaf. Er fy mod dan bwysau, ac wedi blino'n llwyr erbyn cyrraedd gartref bu'n bleser gweld cynifer ohonoch yn bresennol. Cafwyd cefnogaeth arbennig o ran niferoedd i'r Cinio.
Er fod peth tristwch bu'n ddiwrnod da ar y cyfan. 'Roedd gweld dau o gyn swyddogion ymroddgar y Dalaith yn cael eu olynnu ,yn naturiol yn creu peth tristwch. Pleser oedd gweld yr ymateb gan bawb i'r cais i ddangos gwerthfawrogiad o'u llafur. Dymunwn ymddeoliad hir a hapus iddynt gydag ymweliadau cyson i gadw trefn ar y Swyddogion newydd!!!
Pleser o'r mwyaf oedd cael presenoldeb Ei Deilyngdod y Brawd Ian Mackeson Sandbach a chyfarchodd y ddau oedd yn ymddeol o'u swyddi yn ystod y cinio gan ddangos gwerthfawrogiad pawb o'u cyfraniad i Dalaith Gogledd Cymru tros nifer maith o flynyddoedd. Addawodd y byddai'n cefnogi'r Dalaith eto i'r dyfodol fel ac y gwnaeth yn y gorffennol. Dymunaf yn dda iddo ef a'i briod.
Diolchaf i bawb o'r cyn Swyddogion am eu cwmni a'u cefnogaeth gan obeithio y dalient ati i weithio yn eu Grwpiau neu Cyfrinfaoedd.
Croesawaf y Swyddogion newydd gan hyderu y mwynhawn gwmni'n gilydd tra'n teithio'r Dalaith gyda ffydd a hapusrwydd yn ein calonnau. Ceisiwch berswadio mwy a mwy, yn arbennig y rhai sy'n cael dyrchafiad, i fynychu'r Cyfarfod Blynyddol. Mae hyn yn bwysig.
Dangoswch oddefgarwch tuag ataf, hefyd i fy Nirprwy am Cynorthwywyr ac yn arbennig tuag at Ysgrifennydd Newydd y Dalaith tra byddwn yn ymsefydlu llwybrau newydd i'r dyfodol. Dylai'r ffordd ymlaen fod yn ddiddorol a chyffrous wrth geisio gwella'n ymddangosiad fel Cymdeithas yn y gymuned leol. Cyn bwysiced hefyd fydd gwella ein Brawdgarwch.
Diolchaf i bawb am eu llafur diflino i wneud y Cyfarfod Blynyddol yn llwyddiant. Gwerthfawrogir pob gweithgarwch a chymwynas gan gynnwys fy nghysylltu a'r meicroffon. Cymeraf ofal flwyddyn nesaf!!
Diolch i bawb am eu cymorth a'u cefnogaeth mewn sawl modd.
Ieuan Redvers Jones,
R.W. Provincial Grand Master
