E-byst wrth Jane Fenn - yn holi’r cwestiynnau canlynol:
• Beth fyddai pris hirio’r cae tu ôl i’r neuadd? - Dywedodd y Cyng. William Davies nad oes pris ond bod angen gofyn caniatâd
os am gynnal gweithgaredd yno rhag ofn bod rhywun arall wedi trefnu ei ddefnyddio. Dywedodd y Cyng. Philip Gibbons na
ddylwn ni fod yn trafod y pwynt hyn gan fod y coed yn beryglus - pe bai’r coed yn cwympo gallai fod trwbwl. Dywedodd y
Cyng. Pat Thomas bod gemau potes wedi’i drefnu ar gyfer canol mis nesaf. Dywedodd y Cyng. Anthony John ei fod yn

at y coed. Dywedodd y Cadeirydd bod angen atal pobl rhag mynd ar y cae ar unwaith tan bod Paul Toft yn cael cyfle i dorri’r

• Os gall drigolion y pentref ddefnyddio’r cae? - Dywedwyd nad oes problem i drigolion lleol defnyddio’r cae.

yn gywir, mae hi’n tybio na fyddai problem gadael i drigolion y pentref ddefnyddio’r cae? Dywedodd y Cyng. William Davies
mai Mrs Harries oedd yn berchen ar y cae on bod y Cyngor wedi prynu’r cae wrthi.
• Awgrymiad wedi cael ei wneud i brynu mainc gyda phlac i gydnabod y rhodd hael o’r cae at ddefnydd trigolion y pentref.
Awgrymodd y Cyng. Philip Gibbons y dylid gwirio os fyddai’r teulu’n hapus i roi plac achos bod rhai eisiau aros yn
‘annonumous’

• Hefyd mae hi’n nodi bod ‘Capel Iwan Village Events’ yn y broses o droi’n gorff ‘constituted’ fel grŵp cymunedol gyda phwyllgor felly gallant gymryd yswiriant eu hunain allan i ddefnyddio’r cae. Dim problem gyda hyn

• Hefyd mae hi eisiau mynychu cyfarfod - y Clerc wedi esbonio bod ddim problem dod i’r cyfarfodydd ond os bydd hi eisiau
codi pwynt, bydd rhaid cael caniatâd y Cyngor o flaen llaw. Bydd hefyd angen rhoi gwybod i’r Clerc er mwyn trefnu offer cyfieithu.

Emails from Jane Fenn - asking the following questions:
• Emails to Jane Fenn - asking the following questions:
• What would be the price of using the field behind the hall? - Cllr. William Davies stated that there is no price but that
permission needs to be requested if anyone wishes to carry out an activity there in case someone else has arranged to use it.
Cllr. Philip Gibbons said that we should not be discussing this point as the trees are dangerous - if the trees fell there could
be trouble. Cllr Pat Thomas said that potted sports have been arranged for the middle of next month. Cllr Anthony John said
that he agrees with the argument of Cllr. Philip Gibbons. The Chairman suggested that a booking system for the hall is
needed in case several people want to use the field at the same time. Cllr Meurig Thomas said that pressure needs to be put
on Paul Toft to come and cut the tree before the 14th of June. Cllr. Philip Gibbons asked if it is possible to put a rope to
prevent people from going near the trees. The Chairman said that it was necessary to prevent people from going onto the
field immediately until Paul Toft had a chance to cut the tree.
• What does the insurance policy on the field cover? - General insurance for local councils.
• Can the residents of the village use the field? - It was said that there is no problem for local residents to use the field.
• She understands that the field was given to the village by a woman who used to let the school use it. If this information is
correct, she assumes there would be no problem letting the residents of the village use the field? Cllr. William Davies said that
Mrs Harries owned the field but that the Council had bought the field from her.

• A suggestion has been made to buy a bench with a plaque to acknowledge the generous donation of the field for the use of the residents of the village. Cllr. Philip Gibbons suggested that it should be checked if the family would be happy to give a plaque because some want to remain annonumous.

• She also notes that 'Capel Iwan Village Events' is in the process of becoming a 'constituted' body as a community group with
a committee so they can take out their own insurance to use the field. No problem with this.
• She also wants to attend a meeting - the Clerk has explained that there is no problem coming to the meetings but if she
wants to raise a point, the Council's permission will have to be obtained in advance. It will also be necessary to inform the
Clerk in order to organize translation equipment.
