Happy Birthday/Penblwydd Hapus
We have lots of children celebrating their birthdays this month:
We are Proud of You
We are very proud of Dylan. On Wednesday, Dylan met his hero Bryan Adams on stage at the Llangollen Eisteddfod. Dylan loves to dance and amazingly Bryan picked him as the best dancer out of 6,000 cheering fans! He was interviewed on stage by Brian and met the band and was lucky enough to receive the drumsticks, the plectrum and a 'crew' T-shirt. A day he'll never forget as long as he lives!
Dylan even made the headlines on Leader Live!
