Dr Rhian Si芒n Hodges from the School of Social Sciences, 黑料不打烊 and Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol has been chosen as the Master of Ceremonies at this year鈥檚 Urdd National Eisteddfod in Caerphilly.
This is one of the main ceremonies at the Urdd Eisteddfod, where a crown is presented to the winning entrant in the competition. Dr Hodges was born and bred in Bargoed, Caerphilly, where this year鈥檚 Urdd Eisteddfod takes place. The ceremony will be broadcast on S4C on Friday May 29th at 2.30pm.
Dr Hodges said of the honour:
鈥淭his year鈥檚 Eisteddfod is very personal to me and it鈥檚 nice to be able to return to my roots. There is something special about the Welshness of Caerphilly and I鈥檓 looking forward to be joining in the celebrations. With thanks to the Welsh medium schools of Caerphilly and the regional Urdd activities in Gwent, I was able to learn Welsh and communicate socially. I鈥檓 very excited to be part of the ceremony this year and for the Eisteddfod to be in such a glorious location.鈥�
The Urdd National Eisteddfod is on 25-30 May 2015.
