0:04:480:04:53

-..from Flint High School

-to the castle, through the town.

0:04:530:04:58

-Everyone has turned out in support,

-proud that the Eisteddfod is coming.

0:04:590:05:03

-Proud to see the Welsh language

-Thousands have come here

-joining in the fun and activities.

0:05:080:05:12

-Parents have brought their children

-and there was excitement in town.

0:05:130:05:17

-People came out of the shops and

-dangled out of windows to see us.

0:05:180:05:23

-It's important to come

-to areas like Flintshire.

0:05:230:05:26

-It shows that the language

-is for the whole of Wales.

0:05:260:05:30

-Not just for some areas

-and some people, for everyone.

0:05:300:05:34

-All the schools

-have been taking part in activities.

0:05:340:05:38

-Mr Urdd and the Mr Urdd van

-have been going around schools.

0:05:380:05:42

-We've had lots of events,

-gigs and so on...

0:05:420:05:46

-..just to celebrate

-that the Eisteddfod is coming.

0:05:460:05:50

-We welcome the youth of Wales...

0:05:500:05:52

-..to Europe's largest youth festival

-here in Flintshire in 2016.

0:05:530:05:58

-The youth show is one of

-the Eisteddfod's main attractions.

0:06:000:06:04

-This year's show is a translation

-of the American musical Hairspray.

0:06:040:06:09

-From Baltimore to Flintshire,

-here's a look at the rehearsals.

0:06:090:06:13

-# Stop! Paid! Na! Plis!

0:06:150:06:18

-# Stop! Paid! Na! Plis!

0:06:190:06:21

-# Stop! Paid! Na! Plis!

0:06:220:06:24

-# Mama, rydw i'n eneth fawr #

0:06:240:06:27

-We decided to do Hairspray.

0:06:270:06:30

-We were going to do something local

-and write it ourselves.

0:06:300:06:34

-Then we decided to have something

-with good music, dance and singing.

0:06:350:06:40

-# Mi ro'n i'n ferch fach swil

-o hyd #

0:06:400:06:44

-Hairspray's plot, in a nutshell,

-is that Tracy meets Link.

0:06:450:06:49

-In detention, she meets Seaweed,

-a black person.

0:06:490:06:53

-She protests with the black people

-and is thrown into prison.

0:06:530:06:57

-Link rescues her

-and they fall in love.

0:06:580:07:00

-Most of the cast is from Maes Garmon

-because it's the only Welsh school.

0:07:020:07:07

-But it's lovely to see

-a good number from Flint High too.

0:07:070:07:13

-We have two or three

-from St Richard Gwyn...

0:07:130:07:16

-..and children from Argoed.

0:07:170:07:19

-I hope it has helped their Welsh.

0:07:190:07:21

-Rehearsals have gone great so far.

0:07:220:07:26

-I'm really looking forward

-to performing in the Pavilion.

0:07:260:07:30

-It's the dream

-of every child in Wales.

0:07:300:07:32

-Come to St Richard Gwyn School...

0:07:320:07:34

-..on Monday and Tuesday

-to see the youth musical.

0:07:350:07:38

-Every year sees changes

-to some Urdd competitions.

0:07:390:07:43

-The Learners' Medal

-has seen a big change in 2016.

0:07:430:07:46

-This is Tuesday's main ceremony.

0:07:460:07:48

-The emphasis has changed...

0:07:490:07:50

-..from written work

-to communication activities.

0:07:510:07:54

-The adjudicators

-are Nia Parry and Enfys Thomas.

0:07:540:07:57

-The competition began in March...

0:07:580:08:00

-..with a day of activities

-at the Urdd's Glan-llyn centre.

0:08:000:08:04

-Good morning!

0:08:060:08:08

-How are you?

0:08:090:08:11

-I'm fine, thanks.

0:08:110:08:12

-While climbing and building a raft

-may not be everyday activities...

0:08:130:08:18

-..they are communication situations.

0:08:180:08:21

-They can converse naturally

-while having a lot of fun.

0:08:220:08:27

-Hopefully,

-it'll be a memorable experience.

0:08:270:08:30

-I'll be fitter after this.

0:08:330:08:36

-I moved to Wales three years ago

-from Banbury in England.

0:08:360:08:40

-There's no Welsh whatsoever there.

0:08:400:08:43

-I moved here

-without a word of Welsh.

0:08:430:08:47

-I spent a week

-at Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen.

0:08:470:08:51

-I was told I'd spend eight weeks

-at a language centre.

0:08:510:08:55

-I thought, "No way

-will I learn Welsh in eight weeks."

0:08:550:08:58

-It just sort of happened.

0:08:590:09:01

-With friends and so on,

-it was so easy.

0:09:010:09:04

-This feels like a TV programme!

0:09:040:09:07

-If people climb a wall...

0:09:090:09:11

-..and try to help each other

-reach the top...

0:09:110:09:14

-..they'll use language

-instinctively and naturally...

0:09:140:09:18

-..without overthinking it.

0:09:180:09:20

-They use it for a purpose.

0:09:210:09:23

-Psychologically,

-when you learn a language...

0:09:230:09:28

-..if you concentrate on, say,

-climbing a wall...

0:09:280:09:32

-..the Welsh comes out

-almost subconsciously...

0:09:320:09:35

-..without you overthinking it.

0:09:360:09:38

-I've always loved the Welsh language

-and learning it.

0:09:380:09:43

-I want to live life

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:09:440:09:47

-What do you see? Water!

0:09:480:09:51

-Seeing the standard

-of these young people...

0:09:510:09:54

-..must be heartening for you both.

0:09:550:09:57

-It's been an enormous privilege.

0:09:570:10:00

-I'm grateful to every one of them

-for learning the language.

0:10:000:10:04

-It shows maturity on their behalf...

0:10:040:10:07

-..that they feel the need to be part

-of the society in which they live.

0:10:080:10:12

-They will then enhance that society.

0:10:120:10:16

-Hywel Wyn Edwards, thank you

-for welcoming us into your home.

0:10:240:10:28

-You have a special link

-with the Urdd this year.

0:10:280:10:31

-Yes, I do, actually.

0:10:310:10:33

-The last time the Urdd Eisteddfod

-was here in Flintshire...

0:10:340:10:38

-..was back in 1984, in Mold.

0:10:380:10:41

-I was secretary

-of the executive committee.

0:10:410:10:44

-The Crown actually grew from that...

0:10:440:10:47

-..because after we got

-the Urdd National Eisteddfod...

0:10:470:10:52

-..we got the Urdd's Drama Festival

-in Mold in 1988-89.

0:10:520:10:57

-Mold Drama Festival

-is donating the Crown this year.

0:10:570:11:01

-Andrew Coomber

-designed and made this Crown.

0:11:010:11:05

-My first thought was to ask

-the theme of the Crown competition.

0:11:060:11:10

-The theme is Horizons.

0:11:100:11:13

-We then both realized...

0:11:130:11:16

-..that the Flintshire Bridge

-across the River Dee...

0:11:160:11:21

-..has a particular shape,

-that of an isosceles triangle...

0:11:220:11:28

-..which is the same shape

-as the Urdd triangle.

0:11:280:11:32

-They both went together.

0:11:320:11:34

-But then he added glass...

0:11:350:11:37

-..which also has links

-with Flintshire.

0:11:370:11:41

-In that glass...

0:11:410:11:43

-..he has managed

-to incorporate the river's waves...

0:11:430:11:48

-..going further and further

-and further away from us.

0:11:480:11:52

-I can't wait to find out

-who'll be the lucky winner.

0:11:530:11:56

-Neither can I.

0:11:560:11:57

-This year, we have new competitions

-on the performance stage...

0:12:010:12:05

-..the guitar solo

-and the percussion solo.

0:12:060:12:09

-There are evening competitions

-in the Pavilion.

0:12:090:12:12

-The junior action song on Monday.

0:12:120:12:15

-and disco dancing on Wednesday.

0:12:150:12:20

-Senior solo and group competitions

-on Thursday...

0:12:200:12:24

-..and the orchestras on Friday.

0:12:250:12:28

-For the first time this year,

-there's a gig to end the Eisteddfod.

0:12:290:12:33

-After the end of competing on the

-final Saturday, at about 8.30pm...

0:12:330:12:37

-..come to the performance stage to

-see Mellt, Y Bandana and Candelas.

-Welcome back to Flintshire...

0:12:560:12:59

-..as we look ahead

-to events in the county next week.

0:12:590:13:02

-That's the Urdd Eisteddfod,

-of course.

0:13:030:13:05

-One of the most popular events

-is on Tuesday evening...

0:13:060:13:09

-..the primary show.

0:13:090:13:11

-This year's show

-is called Fflamau Fflint.

0:13:110:13:14

-Let's have a look

-at what we can expect.

0:13:140:13:16

-# Cadw'r fflam yn fyw!

0:13:180:13:20

-# Cadw'r fflam yn fyw!

-# Rhoi fy nerth i gyd

-i gael medal aur

0:13:250:13:28

-# A chadw'r fflam yn fyw #

0:13:280:13:30

-The show is called Fflamau Fflint.

0:13:310:13:34

-We were very keen for the primary

-show to have a local flavour.

0:13:340:13:39

-We decided to use the Rimbojam songs

-by Caryl Parry Jones.

0:13:390:13:43

-Obviously, Caryl

-has links with Flintshire.

0:13:430:13:46

-Claire and I, and a friend of mine,

-Mali Williams...

0:13:470:13:50

-..set about creating a story

-to combine all the songs.

0:13:500:13:54

-The plot sees a boy called Dai

-falling in love with Mari Lewis.

0:13:580:14:03

-A bully called Twm Dyrnau

-makes fun of Dai.

0:14:030:14:08

-Then he comes across St Winefride.

0:14:080:14:14

-She helps to scare Twm Dyrnau

-and his gang.

0:14:140:14:20

-Dai and Mari make a project

-about Flintshire's attractions.

0:14:220:14:26

-Jade Jones comes to open it.

0:14:270:14:30

-Mari and Dai's project wins.

0:14:300:14:33

-I beat him in the end,

-with help from Winefride.

0:14:350:14:40

-There are about 125 taking part,

-from eight schools.

0:14:430:14:47

-Eight schools, yes.

0:14:470:14:48

-Eight schools, yes.

-

-Welsh and English medium.

0:14:480:14:50

-Hopefully, we can show Wales that

-there is real talent in Flintshire.

0:14:500:14:55

-I love the show because I like

-to sing and act in Welsh.

0:14:560:15:01
