-Did you do anything nice, Mari?

-

-I was on the beach in Llangrannog.

-Did you attend Gwyl Fach y Fro?

-Did you attend Gwyl Fach y Fro?

-On tonight's programme, we learn why

-Taekwondo is popular here in Wales.

-We also meet some of Wales'

-young Taekwondo champions.

-Huw Fash meets a group of promising

-young fashion graduates.

-venture's new football team.

-We also welcome four harpists

-to perform for us in the studio.

-The sun is shining and tonight's

-guests hope that it will continue.

-We're joined by the National

-Eisteddfod Director, Elfed Roberts.

-Welcome to the studio, Elfed.

-Thank you.

-We're also joined

-by the author, Ian Rowlands...

-..to discuss how Brexit has

-inspired a brand new radio drama.

-Welcome to the studio.

-Thank you.

-The show

-started on Radio Cymru today.

-We start tonight's programme by

-visiting a man that you know, Elfed.

-He's Kees Huysmans

-from Tregroes from Llandysul.

-He's originally

-from the Netherlands...

-..and won the Blue Ribband at

-last year's Abergavenny Eisteddfod.

-Tonight, a book about his life story

-is being launched.

-Rhodri Gomer and our cameras are

-there at the old school in Tregroes.

-Kees is an unique character.

-He came to Wales in the 1980s.

-He established Tregroes Waffles.

-He also won last year's

-Blue Ribband.

-I came to the UK early in the 1980s

-to start farming.

-We chose the shop in Tregroes

-as it had three acres and a cow.

-I wanted to milk the cow by hand.

-However, the Natwest bank manager

-in 1982 Newcastle Emlyn...

-..wasn't ready to lend me the money

-needed to start farming.

-It's easy to feel happy after

-finding a wonderful place to live...

-..but that feeling soon disappears

-if you don't have any money.

-When the rain descended upon us,

-nobody wanted our help...

-..the cow was dry and we didn't

-have any vegetables in the garden.

-We needed to do something quickly

-before we starved.

-That's when I returned to Holland

-to buy my first waffles.

-It's a great place to work

-and I've been here for 16 years.

-Last week, we discussed how nobody

-had resigned in the last two years.

-It's a great place to work

-and Kees is a good employer.

-He's straight-talking,

-honest and kind.

-It was impossible to learn

-the language in an evening class.

-After a chat with John Clocs,

-he suggested that I join a choir.

-I told the choir members

-not to speak English to me.

-I wanted to learn the language of

-the community and not academically.

-# Oh, no, I was given

-# The ability

-# To destroy a person's heart #

-It was an incredible feeling

-to win the Blue Ribband.

-I had wanted to win

-for many years...

-..but I wasn't sure

-if I was deserving of the award.

-When I eventually won, it meant

-much more than I'd expected.

-I wouldn't have written a book

-if I hadn't won the Blue Ribband.

-APPLAUSE

-I hate fuss.

-However, I'm proud of our success

-and what I've achieved in life.

-I'm happy to celebrate

-in my little corner of West Wales...

-..but there's no need

-to make a fuss!

-# Their names will remain

-# Will remain #

-He's an incredible man with an

-incredible voice and story.

-It's an incredible story.

-He came from Holland and looked

-at the Welsh community.

-He's praised the community

-and the welcome he's received.

-I'm proud of this portrayal.

-Everyone will be eager

-to read this book.

-It's been a long process

-to write the book.

-Martin and Eleri were involved

-in writing the book.

-Kees had a great story to tell.

-Eleri persuaded him to write down

-his story.

-They would meet every week

-to discuss his story.

-We all helped each other to compile

-the book.

-His story is incredible.

-Why was it important

-to write the story?

-It was a difficult job to persuade

-him to write the book.

-His story is all about persistence.

-Kees has moved to Lampeter but has

-strong ties with the area.

-He always returns to special events

-at Tregroes.

-Peter Davies is the committee chair

-at Ysgol Tregroes.

-Peter, it's important to note that

-proceeds will be donated...

-..to buy the school.

-We're bringing the locals together

-with the project.

-Back to you in Llanelli.

-The National Eisteddfod Director,

-Elfed Roberts joins us tonight.

-He's competed at the National

-Eisteddfod for many years.

-It was great to see him winning.

-His waffles are very tasty too.

-Only seven weeks remain

-until the Eisteddfod.

-There's only seven weeks

-until the Eisteddfod.

-The work has already started

-on the Maes.

-The water pipes

-have been put in place.

-Let's hope this weather continues.

-The Maes is set near Bodedern.

-It's a beautiful location.

-Is it a different location to the

-1999 Eisteddfod?

-It's not in the same location as the

-last Anglesey Eisteddfod.

-We've sold lots of tickets.

-Two of the concerts sold out

-in two days.

-Some of the other concerts

-are nearly sold out too.

-There's an early bird offer

-on the website.

-The caravan park is also full.

-However, there are unofficial sites

-in the area too.

-We've sold many tickets for Maes B.

-Maes B is celebrating 20 years.

-It's a special year for Maes B

-as we're marking 20 years.

-There's a new logo based

-on the famous Blew song.

-Tell us about Lleden.

-Lleden is a group made up

-of many singers.

-They will perform on Friday

-on the Maes.

-They will perform a set of Maes B

-favourites.

-After their performance,

-Eden will be on the Maes stage.

-The line-up sounds great.

-Eden were great in Tafwyl last year.

-They had a great response at last

-year's Tafwyl.

-The Friday night at the Eisteddfod

-is always special.

-It's a great place to socialise.

-There's a new element to the

-Eisteddfod.

-It's based on Welsh legends.

-There's also a comedy element with

-lots of comic events.

-There's something that will appeal

-to everyone at the Eisteddfod.

-The literary tent

-has received a facelift.

-There's also a nearby bar

-for the poets.

-The Syched Bar has doubled in size

-too.

-Thank you, Elfed.

-After the break, we hear about the

-rise in Taekwondo's popularity...

-..and meet the Olympic champion,

-Jade Jones.

-Ian Rowlands also talks about

-the new radio drama, Llaneski...

-..based on the Polish communities

-in South West Wales.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's Women's Sport Week.

-Jade Jones has certainly made

-a name for herself in Taekwondo.

-She's not only a top competitor,

-but an inspiration to many.

-Owain Gwynedd

-has been to find out more.

-Since Jade Jones won a gold medal

-at the London and Rio Olympics...

-..taekwondo has grown in popularity

-and appeals to all ages.

-Where will the next Jade Jones

-or Lutalo Muhammad come from?

-It's quite likely

-that it will be here...

-Martial Arts Academy in Cardiff.

-Among the stars of the future

-are two pupils of Ysgol Plasmawr.

-They're busy

-making a name for themselves.

-I started around seven years ago and

-back then, it was just a bit of fun.

-The more I did,

-the more I enjoyed it.

-Taekwondo is mixed martial arts

-and self defence.

-You start by improving fitness

-with press-ups and running.

-We then introduce kicks

-before moving on to breaking boards.

-The lessons don't just teach them

-how to break furniture!

-It's all about self-control

-and self-discipline.

-I started because all my friends

-were doing it.

-I thought it would be a bit of fun

-and it would boost my confidence.

-I participated in my first

-competition when I was eight.

-It was the British Championships and

-that's where I won my first gold.

-There were lots of competitors

-in my first ever competition.

-I competed against fighters

-that were much older than me.

-It was a competition for under 12s

-but I was only nine years old.

-I was proud when I won against a

-twelve-year-old boy in the final.

-I have to admit that I was scared

-when I saw all these fighters.

-However, they look like

-they're having so much fun.

-Taekwondo isn't as easy as it looks

-for someone with two left feet.

-I like to think

-that I'm quite fit and tough...

-..but some of these six-year-olds

-can kick harder than me!

-There are around 400 little ninjas

-at this thriving club.

-We've done particularly well

-with the students that we have.

-We teach on a Saturday morning.

-If there's a competition,

-I put extra training on.

-Some of the club's

-36 British Champions...

-..have been chosen to compete

-on the world stage.

-I went to Hatfield in London to

-compete in the World Championship.

-I couldn't believe it

-when I was stood on the podium.

-It felt like a dream

-and it was incredible.

-At the World Championships,

-I won the champion high kick...

-..where you have to kick the pads

-which are held up high in the air.

-After seeing the talent

-at the club...

-..I'm sure one of these athletes

-will reach the Commonwealth Games...

-..or the Olympics

-and emulate Jade Jones' success.

-On the day of the competition...

-..I wondered if I could

-be as good as her, one day.

-I hope it will happen

-but we'll have to wait and see.

-I'm sure we'll hear those names

-in the future.

-Thanks to Nathan Jones for sending

-these photographs to us...

-..of those competing in the Dyfed

-Schools Athletics Championships.

-Hundreds of people watched the event

-with competitors from 40 schools.

-Ysgol Y Dderwen, Carmarthen were top

-with Ysgol Aberaeron in second...

-..and Ysgol Llangennech were third.

-Congratulations to all

-of the schools.

-Today, we've heard mention on

-the news about the beginning...

-..of the Brexit discussions

-in Brussels.

-It isn't a coincidence that the

-drama of our guest, Ian Rowlands...

-..is starting on

-Radio Cymru tonight.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Brexit was the incentive

-behind the new drama series.

-You wrote the drama before the

-result of the referendum.

-I started writing the drama

-the year before.

-I met many Polish people

-at the University and in Lidl.

-It's important

-that we get to know them.

-They should be included

-in our communities.

-They are the Welsh residents

-of the future.

-Lidl is close to my home.

-I spoke to some of the Polish staff

-at the shop.

-They helped me translate the Polish

-aspects of the drama.

-Tell us more about the drama.

-I wanted to get to know

-these people.

-I was speaking to one of my Polish

-friends about Brexit.

-They weren't happy with the result.

-However,

-they didn't show their despair.

-We get to know Paulina in the drama.

-There's a personal element

-behind the characters.

-Their culture is different to ours.

-They don't go to the pub.

-They tend to mix amongst each other.

-They never discuss money or wages.

-They are very interesting.

-I wanted to teach people

-about their culture.

-You did a lot of research.

-I live in Carmarthen.

-I did my research in the town.

-Welsh in the university.

-to learn more of the language.

-Radio Program Festival.

-We visited the Cardiff headquarters

-to learn more about the book.

-We had the opportunity

-to present a Welsh book...

-..for the New York International

-Radio Festival Awards.

-I listened to many Welsh books

-to find a fun and energetic piece...

-..that would also be suitable

-for children.

-We decided on Cyfrinach Nana Crwca

-or Gangsta Granny by David Walliams.

-Hanna Jarman is our Gangsta Granny

-or Nana Crwca.

-She's an actress

-who will do a great job.

-Hanna's has a personal reason

-to work with us...

-..as her sister has sight loss.

-We hope to win a trophy

-in the New York ceremony.

-Our fingers are crossed

-for the society in New York.

-After the break, we don't welcome

-just one, but four harpists.

-We'll be chatting to them all about

-their recent successes.

-A new football team has been

-established in Caernarfon...

-..by the Antur Waunfawr group.

-very special for them to be here.

-It's meant to be walking football

-but a few have got too excited.

-Yes, a few need to slow down

-as they've been running...

-..but it's great to see them on the

-pitch and get out of the workplace.

-What's the thought process

-behind this event?

-We wanted more social events...

-..so started coming to the games

-of Caernarfon Town FC.

-I chatted with Nathan who works

-for Football in the Community...

-of football sessions on a Monday.

-we could come to the Oval.
