-Elin's in Newtown to hear about

-an appeal regarding an ancient tree.

-What's the story, Elin?

-I'm at the Monty Club to hear about

-an oak on the outskirts of the town.

-It's hoping to be named

-the Best Tree in Europe.

-Stay tuned to have the all-important

-voting details for the Brimmon oak.

-It's World Yoga Day and we hear of a

-new Carmarthen centre for all ages.

-Alun Williams chats

-to the actor, Gruff Glyn...

-..who stars in Fantastic Mr Fox

-at The New Theatre in Cardiff.

-We have some of your entries in

-our winter photography competition.

-There's still time to enter

-before the closing date on Friday.

-My studio guest this evening

-is the historian, Catrin Stevens.

-She is the project coordinator for

-Voices from the Factory Floor...

-..run by

-the Women's Archive of Wales.

-She's published a book about the

-factory women of Wales in the 1940s.

-We start with Elin in Newtown

-and a team of people.

-They are putting Wales on the map in

-a special way via a specific appeal.

-Good evening, Owain.

-The community wants us to vote

-for the Brimmon oak tree to win...

-..the Best Tree in Europe title.

-Let's hear more about this

-ancient tree and the appeal.

-This is the Brimmon oak that

-hopes to win Europe's Best Tree.

-It's already scooped the title for

-the best tree in Wales and the UK.

-But what makes this lovely tree on

-the outskirts on Newtown so special?

-We estimate that this tree

-is 500 years old.

-The only way to find out is cut it

-down but we don't want to do that.

-It's the European Tree of the Year.

-We're not searching for the most

-prettiest and oldest tree...

-..but a beloved tree

-that everyone in the area loves.

-We believe the tree fits

-this description perfectly.

-The landowner and community

-were successful in saving it...

-..whilst a new road

-was being built nearby.

-The oak plays a major role in

-the landowner's family history.

-My family have looked after

-this tree since the 1600s.

-We've got some lovely photographs

-of my great-aunt's wedding in 1901.

-They could've taken them anywhere,

-but it had to be under the tree.

-It gives these trees

-better protection.

-We just want to save this old tree

-and hopefully we have saved it.

-A song has also been composed to

-raise awareness by a local composer.

-It says something

-about us as a nation.

-We've avoided change

-in order to save this tree.

-It's part of our heritage, it lives

-and is part of farmland and family.

-There are 16 competitors, and the

-Czechs and Poles are front runners.

-The Welsh must cast their votes

-for this tree before 28 February.

-St David's Day is the next day, so

-let's come out on top on that day.

-It's an amazing tree.

-I'm joined by Heini Evans

-from Cadw Coed.

-We're passionate about the tree.

-People need to vote on

-the Tree of the Year website.

-You can vote for two trees.

-Make sure you cast your vote.

-It would be like winning the Euro

-2016...

-..if we win this award.

-Mai Jones is the owner

-of the Monty Club in Newtown.

-We want everyone to vote.

-It's important for planting Newtown

-on the map.

-People can enjoy a drink here too.

-You're passionate about the tree.

-I'm not biased at all.

-I've just been to see the Polish

-tree.

-This is a tree-mendous tree!

-People can vote online.

-Do it tonight.

-You can vote until 28 February.

-Make sure you vote for the Brimmon

-oak to win this amazing title.

-Voices from the Factory Floor

-was launched two years ago.

-The project recorded the stories

-of those women...

-..who worked in factories

-during the 1940s.

-Catrin Stevens is the coordinator

-of the project...

-..the for Women's Archive of Wales.

-There's currently a book

-that recalls their stories.

-This is the book,

-Voices from the Factory Floor.

-Take us back to the start

-of the project.

-I was writing a book about women in

-the 20th century.

-There was a lot of information about

-the role of women...

-..during the World Wars.

-Very little was found about the

-women in the time after the war.

-Let's hear from some ladies

-who worked in these factories.

-I worked at Hodges in Fforestfach

-making suits for men.

-I got married in 1964.

-I fell pregnant and had to leave

-my job as there was no childcare.

-There were no nursery schools

-so I had to give up work.

-It was so noisy.

-It took me a long time

-to get used to the noise.

-There were women from Swansea

-and women from Gowerton.

-I was scared of them

-and reported us for speaking Welsh.

-You met some wonderful women.

-I knew those two ladies.

-We had project managers.

-They found some of these ladies.

-Those workers were also able to put

-us on the right direction...

-..to find the other workers.

-A lot of women had to work hard.

-They were determined to work hard...

-..to get their families out of

-living in poverty.

-This was before the times when the

-country flourished...

-..in the 1960s.

-A lot of the women enjoyed

-themselves.

-I read about the story of Sue Jones.

-She was 14 years old.

-We have a website.

-You can see the interviews.

-We wanted to discuss all sorts of

-themes in the book.

-There was a massive explosion where

-three women and one man...

-..were killed in a explosives

-factory.

-They have worked hard.

-They also enjoyed themselves.

-You can buy the book online.

-It's time for a break, but there's

-still plenty to come this evening.

-The actor, Gruff Glyn chats

-about his role in Fantastic Mr Fox.

-We celebrate World Yoga Day

-at a new centre in Carmarthen.

-breakfast, some stays in my beard.

-You've been on tour to Southampton

-and London but it's a long tour.

-It runs until July.

-about being an actor.

-You just don't know

-what's around the corner...

-..where you'll be,

-what character you'll play.

-Good morning, everyone

-and good morning, babies.

-We'll start Week 6 with the babies.

-We've come outside for a cuppa

-to hear more about Magu - Nurture.

-It's very exciting.

-A group of us with the same vision

-have come together...

-..to provide services

-which support families.

-We specialize in pregnancy,

-We chose 'Nurture' because it's

-a term which works for everyone.

-I do the yoga with another teacher.

-Doula's supports women

-during pregnancy and birth.

-the women, families and children.

-We have a nice, cosy home

-at the Waverley Stores.

-It's one of the oldest shops

-in Carmarthen and a family business.

-One of the most popular sessions

-is the baby yoga class.

-Some babies had even started on

-their sessions before being born.

-I did yoga with Laura when I was

-pregnant for the entire nine months.

-It prepared me for having the baby

-and I wanted to continue afterwards.

-The baby yoga classes

-with Laura are lovely.

-It's something I can do with Elgan.

-It helps with development, how he

-rolls and keeps his back straight.

-It's also a good way

-of getting back to fitness...

-..after the nine months of pregnancy

-and the birth.

-Running classes in Welsh

-is very important to Laura.

-There are some very happy

-mothers and babies amongst them.

-Before going to bed,

-we try to do some yoga.

-Having this in Welsh

-is worth its weight in gold.

-You look out for Welsh activities...

-..because you often have more

-in common with those mothers.

-You want to speak your mother tongue

-with the child.

-You also get to find out

-what else goes on in your area.

-I would recommend that everyone

-has baby yoga classes with Laura.

-Erwan Teifi, the teacher's baby,

-also benefits from the experience.

-We don't have family nearby.

-I'm from North Wales and my

-husband's family lives in Brittany.

-I wanted a job

-where I could bring the children.

-It's been lovely to teach yoga

-to babies with a real baby!

-It has helped parents to see that

-all babies are the same.

-They all cry and make a noise.

-More details are available from the

-centre's website or Facebook page.

-Tomorrow is your final chance

-to send us your winter photographs.

-Our competition will be judged

-on Friday night's Heno.
