Cylch Cinio Cymraeg Rhydaman

11:27am Wednesday 14th October 2009

Cynhaliwyd cinio Hydref Cylch Cinio Cymraeg Rhydaman yn y Ganolfan Aman, Rhydaman, Nos Iau, Hydref 1af o dan lywyddiaeth Edwyn Williams, Capel Hendre. Y prif westai am y noson oedd y Gwir Anrhydeddus Denzil Davies, Cyn-aelod Seneddol Llanelli. Yn wythdegau’r ganrif olaf ef oedd llefarydd fainc blaen yr wrth-blaid ar faterion yn delio ag amddiffyn ac arfogi. Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn bu ar ddirprwyiaeth i’r Undeb Sofietaidd ar dri achlysur ac yn ei farn ef roedd yna ddau ddigwyddiad y pryd hynny a fu yn allweddol i gwymp Comiwynyddiaeth yn Rwsia ac Ewrop gan gynnwys y mur rhwng Dwyrain a Gorllewin yr Almaen. Un ohonynt oedd ofn bygythiad yr Arlywydd Reagan i sefydlu y ‘Star War Technology’ a allai saethu i lawr holl daflegrau yr Undeb Sofietaidd ymhell cyn iddynt gyrraedd eu targedau, ac yn ail cri mamau Rwsia yn erbyn y bagiau cyrff (‘body bags’) a ddychwelai yn gyson o Afghanistan pan roedd Rwsia yn ymladd yno. Gwers efallai i ni ym Mhrydain heddiw. Diolchodd Trefor Evans, Llandybie i’r prif westai am araith a agorodd ein llygaid i lawer o bethau nad oeddam wedi meddwl amdanynt.
