-There's no Welsh whatsoever there. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |

-With friends and so on, -it was so easy. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |

-..and try to help each other -reach the top... | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |

-..without overthinking it. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-They use it for a purpose. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-Psychologically, -when you learn a language... | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
-..if you concentrate on, say, -climbing a wall... | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
-..the Welsh comes out -almost subconsciously... | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
-..without you overthinking it. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
-I've always loved the Welsh language -and learning it. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
-I want to live life -through the medium of Welsh. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |

-It shows maturity on their behalf... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
-..that they feel the need to be part -of the society in which they live. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
-They will then enhance that society. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |

-Yes, I do, actually. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
-The last time the Urdd Eisteddfod -was here in Flintshire... | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
-..was back in 1984, in Mold. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
-I was secretary -of the executive committee. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
-The Crown actually grew from that... | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-..because after we got -the Urdd National Eisteddfod... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:52 | |
-..we got the Urdd's Drama Festival -in Mold in 1988-89. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
-Mold Drama Festival -is donating the Crown this year. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
-Andrew Coomber -designed and made this Crown. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
-My first thought was to ask -the theme of the Crown competition. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
-The theme is Horizons. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
-We then both realized... | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
-..that the Flintshire Bridge -across the River Dee... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
-..has a particular shape, -that of an isosceles triangle... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:28 | |
-..which is the same shape -as the Urdd triangle. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
-They both went together. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
-But then he added glass... | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
-..which also has links -with Flintshire. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
-In that glass... | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
-..he has managed -to incorporate the river's waves... | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
-..going further and further -and further away from us. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
-I can't wait to find out -who'll be the lucky winner. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-Neither can I. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:57 | |
-This year, we have new competitions -on the performance stage... | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
