Cymdeithas y Merlod a’r Cobiau Cymreig

DATGANIAD I’R WASG

Mae’r Gymdeithas sy’n cofrestru a diogelu bridiau y merlod a’r cobiau Cymreig, a werthfawrogir ar draws y DU, wedi apwyntio Ysgrifennydd newydd.

Mae Cymdeithas y Merlod a’r Cobiau Cymreig a leolir ym Mronaeron ger Llanbedr Pont Steffan, wedi apwyntio Meirion Davies yn Ysgrifennydd y Gymdeithas. Mae’r Gymdeithas yn hyrwyddo bridio a chynnal safon Merlod a Chobiau Cymreig. Mae’n gyfrifol am gofrestru, trwyddedu, trosglwyddo perchnogaeth ac allforion.

Dywedodd Llywydd y Gymdeithas Brian Foster, y Rhaglywydd Roger Davies a’r Cadeirydd Colin Thomas eu bod yn hynod falch i gyhoeddi taw Meirion fydd yr Ysgrifennydd newydd.
Yn wreiddiol o Sir Benfro, mae Meirion bellach yn byw ger Cydweli yn Sir Gaerfyrddin. Mae’n aelod o’r Gymdeithas ers yn blentyn. “Dwi’n falch ofnadwy i ymuno â thîm y Gymdeithas, ac yn edrych ymlaen at wasanaethu’r aelodaeth a’u hysbrydoli i fwynhau ag hyrwyddo pump adran y brîd arbennig yma.

Mae’r Gymdeithas yn elwa o gefnogaeth byd-eang gan edmygwyr y brîd, boed rheiny’n ‘berchennog un ferlen’ neu’n fridfa fawr. Mae eu diddordeb a’u hymroddiad yn sicrhau datblygiad parhaus y brîd”

Mi fydd Meirion Davies yn cychwyn yn ei rôl yn gynnar ym mis Hydref.
Cadeirydd Cyngor y Gymdeithas.
