Officers of the Mentrau Iaith came together in a celebration on January 26th this year – a night to celebrate the work of the Mentrau in all parts of Wales. The Mentrau Iaith Cymru team celebrated the evening in collaboration with Radio Cymru 2 with two of their presenters, Daniel Glyn and Lisa Angharad steering the evening.<\/p>\n\n

The event was held at The Temple of Peace, Cardiff with the beautiful marble pillars of the main room providing a wonderful backdrop for an exhibition of short films showing the work of Mentrau Iaith which came top in 5 competitions. Here are the 5 categories and the Mentrau fortunate to reach the top3 in each category:<\/p>\n\n
