-Hello, how are you?

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-We're half way through the week

-and it's great to have your company.

-The weather is perfect for camping.

-Yes, it is, and you can win camping

-equipment in our competition.

-Call us on 08443 35 12 44

-before 3.00pm today.

-We'll give you the question shortly.

-This is what we have for you.

-We hear of the current exhibition

-at the Brynberian Community Centre.

-Bridgend welcomes the youth of Wales

-to the Urdd Eisteddfod in five days.

-We hear of the

-last-minute preparations...

-..from the Chair of the

-Executive Committee, Tegwen Elis.

-We open the covers of

-our Book Club with Bethan Mair.

-Alison Huw is here with ideas

-of brain food to help your study.

-We've got plenty to discuss

-during the next 50 minutes.

-First, the lucky person to receive

-a makeover today is Bethan Walters.

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-Thank you.

-You live in Nantgaredig

-but where are you from originally?

-I'm from Llandybie originally.

-I've been in Nantgaredig

-for about eight years.

-You were struck by arthritis

-20 years ago.

-I suffer from osteo arthritis.

-I've also got rheumatoid arthritis.

-My bones swell and stiffen.

-It can be quite painful.

-I've had a new hip.

-I had to wait six years get

-a new hip.

-My hip feels much better.

-This condition doesn't run

-through my family.

-It started off as flu symptoms.

-It took nine months to diagnose.

-They thought it was blood poisoning.

-I got a test for arthritis

-and had a flare up.

-My joints had swollen.

-I went to see a consultant

-about the condition.

-It's changed my life.

-I can't use buttons and zips.

-I couldn't move my arm.

-It can be challenging.

-I couldn't even hold a cup

-at one stage.

-I like fashion.

-I like to feel smart

-and comfortable.

-I'm also adventurous!

-My hair is spiky

-because it's easier to manage.

-I can't use a hairdryer

-because it's too heavy.

-I look forward to being pampered!

-Next, we visit the village of

-Brynberian in North Pembrokeshire.

-The community centre is a former

-school that opened in the 1970s.

-It's offered a host of events for

-residents in the area and beyond.

-Their latest event is an exhibition

-and we heard more about it.

-The building was the village school

-until it was closed 1972.

-Since then, the children have gone

-to school in the nearby Eglwyswrw.

-The good news is that it was bought

-by the community...

-..to be used by locals as the

-village lacked anything like it.

-It's formed a great community

-and is a very successful centre.

-This centre is home to many things

-from local Eisteddfods to yoga.

-Over the coming days, it's also

-welcoming a very special exhibition.

-This exhibition is full

-of paintings, prints, jewellery...

-..and woodwork made from wood

-sourced from the Tycanol Woodlands.

-It features items from the area

-that I didn't know existed!

-There's even a piece made

-from the teapots of the old school.

-It's wonderful that artists use old

-school items and turn them into art.

-We're so lucky to live in an area

-that boasts so many artists.

-It's such a rural area that

-we don't often know our neighbours.

-This is an opportunity to meet our

-neighbours and learn about them.

-This exhibition has amazed many

-people in terms of our skills.

-As well as exhibiting and

-making friends in the local area...

-..the centre offers the artists

-the opportunity to learn Welsh.

-I'm learning Welsh and

-live at Brynberian with my family.

-I work as an artist in the area

-and enjoy meeting others artists.

-It's very important to meet

-other artists working in the area...

-..because we all work by ourselves

-in our little workshops.

-It's lovely to come out and meet

-everybody and make something lovely.

-I'm delighted to be able to exhibit

-alongside other interesting artists.

-I hope to exhibit here again.

-I've met some wonderful people

-at this exhibition.

-We're very proud of this community.

-It's important to have a place

-where we can all gather.

-The artists from the exhibition

-are all here today...

-..and it's proof

-of the site's importance.

-There's a lot of local talent

-and it's wonderful to do this.

-Don't forget to visit

-the exhibition at Brynberian.

-It runs until 4 June and is open

-from 11.00am to 5.00pm every day.

-Bethan has arrived

-in the makeover corner.

-After the break, we'll have

-an update from Huw and the team.

-And we count down to the

-Urdd Eisteddfod in Bridgend.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Bethan Walters is in the safe hands

-of Huw and the makeover team.

-Everything's going great

-and Bethan is an easy recipient.

-Her illness brings its problems.

-Bethan can't raise her arms

-to wash her hair.

-She can't blow-dry her hair

-or even brush it.

-You have to wash it in the shower.

-When you have a haircut,

-you can't lie back over the sink.

-My mother is exactly the same

-and comes to me for a haircut.

-She's very lucky to have me!

-Maybe Ruth will offer

-to style your hair every week!

-What are you doing, Ruth?

-We'll cut it short, style it with

-some gel or wax and leave it to dry.

-Bethan does something similar now

-and spikes her hair.

-Bethan can also be

-quite adventurous.

-We've got some sprays that

-are used after washing your hair.

-It's acts like a toner

-and I've applied it to my fringe.

-This is an ice, greyish colour.

-I haven't applied it to my hair

-as this is my natural colour!

-This strawberry colour

-creates a pink tint.

-You'll have to be careful at home

-as you have problems holding items.

-Don't squeeze it too hard

-in case it goes everywhere!

-Bethan has sensitive skin, Patricia.

-She has problems in handling

-and applying her make-up.

-Bethan told me that

-she applies some blusher.

-We want to keep it simple

-and fuss-free.

-There are plenty of

-suitable products available.

-This chubby stick from Clinique

-is applied to your cheeks and lips.

-Make sure the colour

-is suitable to apply to the eyes.

-They're available on the high street

-at various prices.

-There's a cream blusher

-which you apply with your fingers.

-You tend to apply foundation

-with a brush.

-Yes, use a sponge or your fingers.

-You can rub it into the skin

-and you can feel the foundation.

-You don't know how you'll feel

-from day to day.

-You may have to go somewhere

-and are unable to apply make-up.

-It can be quite awkward for you.

-I won't wear make-up

-and just apply lipstick.

-Patricia will do her best

-to show you how to apply it.

-The plastic buttons on these sprays

-are easier to use.

-They also come in a tub

-and it's a gel to rub in your hair.

-Ruth will take you

-through the steps.

-You'll look stylish

-rather than a clown!

-When we return to the studio,

-Bethan will look a lot different.

-We can't wait to see the results

-at the end of the programme.

-I don't know about pink hair!

-In less than week, thousands of

-youngsters will flock to Bridgend...

-..to compete

-in the 2017 Urdd Eisteddfod.

-Our guest has worked tirelessly

-in preparation for the occasion.

-Tegwen Elis was appointed the

-Chair of the Executive Committee.

-Are you ready for next week?

-I feel I can see the light

-at the end of the tunnel.

-I will become the chairperson after

-leaving my role at school next week.

-The Urdd offers

-the invitation to hold the event.

-There's so much preparation

-for the festival.

-Yes, and we had to make sure

-that we could accommodate it.

-The Urdd is at the site of the

-Pencoed Campus of Bridgend College.

-We asked the college for their

-permission to use the site.

-It's quite a convenient location.

-It's just off the M4.

-The field turns into

-a youth festival for an entire week.

-We've roped in the locals.

-We must thank them for their help

-in raising money and awareness.

-The Welsh language is strong

-in the areas.

-We've explained what the Eisteddfod

-is about to non-Welsh speakers.

-The 2017 Urdd Eisteddfod Crown has

-arrived at the Prynhawn Da studio.

-This year's Crown

-was made by Iolo Edgar.

-He lives in Bridgend.

-We told Iolo what kind of Crown

-we wanted.

-Iolo has also made a collection of

-jewellery that's available to buy.

-Iolo has captured the spirit of the

-area in the Crown and the jewellery.

-There are only eight of these

-necklaces available now!

-The 2017 Urdd Eisteddfod Chair

-was donated by Ysgol Llangynwyd.

-It was created by a teacher called

-Osian Roberts.

-It's quite a heavy piece.

-Let's hope someone

-is worthy to have it.

-Tickets are still available for the

-opening ceremony on Sunday 28 May.

-The opening concert on Sunday 28 May

-will be hosted by Sian Lloyd.

-Dawnswyr Bro Taf...

-We're still appealing for volunteers

-to help us at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

-Volunteers play a key role

-at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

-They have helped raise money

-and awareness of the event.

-There's been a shortage of stewards.

-We are starting to get a few names.

-Many teachers are helping out.

-The opening concert includes a show

-by local primaries and a youth show.

-The t-shirt is part of that

-performance.

-The primary show is

-on the Tuesday night.

-It's called Sioe Brachu.

-There's also a handy app to download

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-We start by looking back at the past

-with the Bedwen Lyfrau Festival.

-The Bedwen Lyfrau was held

-over the weekend in Aberystwyth.

-It was the Aberystwyth Arts Centre.

-What is Bedwen Lyfrau?

-This is a festival

-for Welsh publishers.

-It's a festival that has

-been running for 14 years.

-This festival is for

-launching books...

-..as well as workshops.

-It's usually held in May.

-It travels around the country.

-It was very successful this year.

-I chose the

-Book of the Bedwen Lyfrau...

-..which was my book of the year.

-This came on the back of the

-questions that have risen...

-..surrounding the future of

-the Wales Book of the Year.

-The winning book was my choice.

-I praised it to the clouds

-on Prynhawn Da.

-My book of the year

-was Pantywennol by Ruth Richards.

-It's an incredible novel.

-Pantywennol

-is set in the 19th century.

-This is the first novel

-by Ruth Richards.

-It's a very modern novel...

-..in terms of the topics

-that are discussed.

-It's about the role of women...

-..and their future.

-Let's look to the future

-with the Tir na n-Og Award.

-I'm one of the judges

-for this year's Tir na n-Og Award.

-Last year's books

-are being judged now.

-The Tir na n-Og Award is given

-to original work for children...

-..in both the Welsh

-to adapt a novel.

-Tegwen spoke about families...

-..who send their children

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-We're in the depths

-of the exam season...

-..so Alison is focusing

-on brain food today!

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Exams can be very stressful.

-It's extra important that you look

-after yourself during exams...

-..ensuring that you eat properly

-and correctly...

-..as this helps the brain

-to work at its best.

-It can be a busy time so you should

-not skip meals.

-Avoid eating large meals

-as it will only make you sleepy.

-Rosemary has had a lot

-of press attention lately.

-A Northumbria university

-carried out tests on rosemary...

-..and since publishing their

-findings on his memory qualities...

-..the sales of rosemary

-has gone through the roof!

-Place sprigs of rosemary

-in boiling water...

-..and it releases all the

-much-needed oils in the herb.

-Rosemary isn't just for lamb!

-It's best to eat small meals

-at regular intervals...

-..as it helps to maintain

-the sugar levels in your body.

-People vary but it's best to take

-a break after about 90 minutes.

-Studies show that

-when you're dehydrated...

-..it can affect

-your ability to concentrate.

-You could keep a bottle of water

-on your desk...

-..to ensure you drink water

-regularly.

-You can buy bottles that show

-how much you drink during the day.

-Some schools allow children

-to take water into exams.

-These bottles are great

-for everyone.

-On the day of your exam, it's

-important to have breakfast...

-..to ensure you give the body

-and brain enough energy.

-It's important to give the body

-the fuel it needs to operate.

-Porridge with berries helps

-to boost your levels of vitamin C.

-Blackberries are very effective in

-terms of helping short-term memory.

-It's important to have meals

-that can be prepared quickly...

-..and are nutritious.

-Hummus is a great source of protein.

-The vegetables quench your thirst

-and are filling.

-You look incredible.

-How do you feel?

-I've had a great day.

-I've really enjoyed it.

-I feel funky!

-Bethan is restricted

-with some of her clothes.

-She gave me a list of things

-that she couldn't wear...

-..that included buttons and zips.

-She struggles to stand

-for this long.

-This is one piece.

-Bethan would wear a t-shirt

-with a dress and leggings...

-I was expecting pink hair!

-It's baby pink.

-There's also a touch of silver.

-Where can you get these sprays?

-or at Sally's in Trostre.
