-I mentioned that my stories

-are about football and pyjamas.

-Mudiad Meithrin is 45 years old

-in a matter of weeks...

-Earlier, I went to a smaller

-pyjama party and had a lot of fun!

-It's an important year

-as the Mudiad Meithrin group is 45.

-We had to think of ways

-to mark the milestone...

-..so plan to hold the world's

-biggest pyjama party on 9 May.

-We had a slight issue as our mascot,

-Dewin didn't have any pyjamas.

-We held a competition

-in the nurseries of Wales...

-..and the winning design

-was by Bethan...

-..from Terrig School at Treuddyn

-in Flintshire.

-She's at the nursery today

-to receive her own pair of pyjamas.

-This is the winning design

-by Bethan Williams.

-Bethan used a hole punch to make

-the circles and you love glitter.

-It's gold.

-This pair that she's wearing

-is her own unique pair.

-She looks lovely and will be the

-only one in them so it's amazing.

-It's one thing to organize

-the world's biggest pyjama party...

-..but where do you get

-all the pyjamas?

-Aykroyd and Sons in Bala

-stepped up to the mark.

-How did you get involved in it?

-I saw the advert on Twitter

-that Dewin needed pyjamas...

-..so I contacted Gwenllian

-from the Mudiad Meithrin.

-How many pyjamas will you produce?

-How many pyjamas will you produce?

-

-It will be over 1,000.

-Ollie is perfect model

-for the pyjamas.

-He looks smart

-and there's a cape on the back.

-It's been a wonderful day

-and we're excited about 9 May.

-It's 1 to take part and you can

-give that to your local nursery.

-school or work on 9 May.

-about football tonight.

-for the better.

-It's always a great game

-against Bangor.

-We're third in the league and

-Bangor is fourth.

-It's going to be a big game.

-A warm welcome is given

-to all teams.

-It's important to welcome

-teams here.

-It's important to look

-after this site.

-It's time to chat with Aled Hopton

-and Arwel Lloyd or Gildas.

-for a special reason.

-I lost my father to cancer

-when I was about 17.

-I wanted to do something to raise

-funds for the charity.

-It started in 2009 as a concert...

-..and it has now developed

-into a weekend festival.

-The festival is going

-from strength to strength.

-It's important to have

-Welsh events...

-..in areas that

-aren't necessarily Welsh.

-I'm proud of the Welshness

-of Ystradgynlais.

-I live in Cardiff but love coming

-home to Ystradgynlais.

-Arwel or Gildas is performing

-at the Cabaret night.

-On Friday 17 February,

-You has Estyn in school today.

-It's been an interesting day.

-I had to drive to Llanelli

-after being in school.

-I was asked to say hello to the

-children at Ysgol Dolau.

-We did a lot pantomime

-in Ystradgynlais.

-It was Jack and the Beanstalk.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-As a keen runner, I'm glad to say

-more people are taking up running.

-But it's tough at this time of year

-due to the dark mornings and nights.

-Rhodri Gomer has been to meet a

-group of ladies from Pontarddulais.

-He offers them advice

-on running safely in the dark.

-Running at night can be fun,

-exciting and rewarding.

-But it can also be terrifying

-and dangerous...

-..so this is what you need to know

-when you're running in the dark.

-You need to be visible

-from every angle.

-It's very important

-that you're visible.

-A high-visibility vest costs

-next to nothing in a sports shop...

-..and reflective straps ensure

-you're seen from every direction.

-The head torch costs very little

-but it could save your life.

-It illuminates your route

-and makes you visible to others.

-At this time of year and after dusk,

-the temperature does fall...

-..so wear plenty of layers.

-Accidents can happen so carry

-a mobile phone when out running...

-..so that you can make calls

-in an emergency.

-The Find My Friends app

-is excellent.

-It uses GPS to share your location

-with friends.

-Run on roads and pavements

-that are well lit.

-Tell a responsible adult about

-your route and when you'll be back.

-The final and most important thing

-is to join a running group...

-..like the Run Bont group

-at Pontarddulais.

-Tell me why you've joined

-this group.

-I wanted to stay fit, meet new

-people do something on a Monday.

-Is it difficult to come out

-at this time of year?

-Yes, because it's dark in winter

-and the nights close in early.

-It's great and a lot of fun

-when there's a gang of you.

-Where are we going tonight?

-Where are we going tonight?

-

-Around Bont!

-Come on then!

-This group was formed by

-the local girl, Lauren Pearcey...

-..with the support

-of the Run Wales programme.

-The data about adults who exercise

-in Wales shows 14% run regularly.

-Run Wales has over

-70 community running groups...

-..that are groups of ladies,

-families or mixed groups.

-It's popular and

-running is growing in popularity.

-Where did you hear about this group?

-Lauren started a new group

-on Facebook and it came from there.

-I belong to another similar group

-so it's mainly word of mouth.

-Social media is a great way

-to find groups in your area.

-Another option

-is to contact Run Wales.

-If there isn't a group in your area,

-why not form one yourself?

-It's a great way to keep fit

-and socialize.

-Good luck to the ladies.

-A group of artists from Turkey are

-touring Wales with their first show.

-The cast of four females

-highlight violence against women.

-Yvonne went to one of their

-rehearsals to learn more.

-# Whoa, whoa, whoa

-# Ah #

-Enough is Enough is a play...

-..charting violence against

-women and young people in Wales.

-The energetic gig-style show

-has aspects of dark humour.

-# Oh, I'm a woman #

-It was scripted

-in the form of poems.

-The songs have stemmed

-from the poetry.

-Music acts as a great medium

-for expressing complex scenarios.

-They're delivered in various genres

-so we hope they appeal to everyone.

-Playing hide and seek.

-Hated, despised, condemned.

-I play like the cavaquinho,

-trumpet, accordion and I sing.

-I recite stories

-about different women.

-I'll keep all the colours

-of the rainbow inside of me.

-People think violence against women

-is a problem that won't affect them.

-It doesn't happen to their family

-or friends, but sadly it does.

-One in four women in Wales

-are affected by it at some point.

-This isn't acceptable

-and we must be open about it.

-# Towards the ground #

-I did a similar play in Turkey.

-We went to Amsterdam,

-Rotterdam and Zurich.

-When people watched this play,

-the audience said they understood.

-But it's not our problem.

-You came from the east

-and this is an east problem.

-# Oh, dangerous #

-The company, Be Aware is part

-of our new scheme called Peilot.

-It's a programme that

-invites associate artists.

-It's an honour to collaborate with

-an ambitions and energetic company.

-It's wonderful to support them.

-# Oh, I'm nothing without you #

-The company was formed to discuss

-issues that affect the community.

-They are issues that everyone

-isn't comfortable to discuss.

-It provides a voice for those across

-the globe who cannot speak out.

-Sadly, a lot of women will identify

-with some experiences in the show.

-I know my friends and I have

-endured similar experiences.

-I'm so glad to be given

-the opportunity to do this.

-Events that take place in the show

-happen to individuals around us.

-It's important we talk about it and

-people are aware of what's going on.

-The show visits 23 locations

-across Wales until 19 February.

-There's a special performance at the

-Wales Millennium Centre on 8 April.

-Visit the website on the screen

-for further details about the tour.

-Aled Hopton and Arwel Lloyd

-of Gildas have been my guests.

-Gwyl Gymraeg Ystradgynlais

-is on 17 and 18 February.

-The festival includes

-a Cabaret night, a produce fair...

-..and a Musical Gala.

-It's at the Ystradgynlais Miners

-Welfare Hall.

-Good luck with the festival.

-What are you performing for us

-tonight?

-Tonight's song is called

-Y Gwr o Gwm Penmachno.

-That's it from us tonight.

-Don't forget about

-Prynhawn Da tomorrow at 2.00pm.

-On Heno tomorrow night...

-..Llinos is joined by the Welsh

-Language Commissioner, Meri Huws.

-Yvonne celebrates 70 years

-with the Treorchy Male Voice Choir.

-We also meet the female cast of

-the brand-new musical, Tiger Bay.

-We'll give you the details tomorrow.

-We leave you with Arwel Gildas

-performing Y Gwr o Gwm Penmachno.

-It's goodnight from me and the team.

-# There was a man from Penmachno

-# Who pursued a girl from Llandudno

-# He courted her on the Great Orme

-# Before returning home

-to dredge the yard

-# She was a pretty girl

-# Her father owned a garage

-# He was a good man at heart

-# She was no good to anyone

-and couldn't wash or cook

-# She had the sack

-after one phone call

-# Is anyone listening?

-# The man from Penmachno

-wants a wife

-# He's searched for all his life

-# He has a wheelbarrow,

-wellies and tractor

-# His grandfather was the collector

-# He looked for love in Liverpool

-# Thinking it would be no trouble

-# The journey at the start

-# Didn't bother this sweetheart

-# She was a pretty girl

-# But that was the problem

-# Her father was as rough as bricks

-# He said,

-"I'm going to have to turn her"

-# "It's raining

-old ladies and sticks"

-# Is anyone listening?

-# The man from Penmachno

-wants a wife

-# He's searched for all his life

-# He has a wheelbarrow,

-wellies and tractor

-# His grandfather was the collector

-# He searched for love

-at the Young Farmers' Club

-# He travelled the land

-but was unlucky

-# So back he went

-with his tail between his legs

-# He wasn't going to beg

-# Is anyone listening?

-# The man from Penmachno
