Duck Race Report May 2026

Posted on

2026’s first Llangrannog Duck Race took place on Bank Holiday Sunday 24 May 2026. All 500 ducks were sold as well as Llangrannog merchandise like postcards and keyrings, and we made just over £500.

It was a very hot and busy day in the village. Massive thanks to everyone who came to man the stall, especially the crew from Bryngobaith! Gerry and Cynyr deserve a special mention for creating a dam at the far end of the culvert to give the ducks plenty of water to run in.

The first four ducks’ sponsors won a cash prize, which was probably all spent on ice cream! Several dozen kids lent a hand to collect the wayward ducks before they escaped to the sea. They are back safe in their nests and will race again on August Bank Holiday Sunday.

All proceeds go towards the Llangrannog Welfare Committee’s work such as maintaining the Village Garden, the Lime Kiln, benches, signs and noticeboards. This year we are also looking to run a few social events such as the very popular BBQ, a garden party and more litterpicks. We also have a plan to ease the pressure on the rubbish bins next to the beach – watch this space.

All the members (22 this year) are volunteers and as such your money goes straight to help the village. If you would like to know more about our work or become a member of the Friends of Llangrannog please check out the website https://friendsofllangrannog.org/

Adroddiad y Ras Hwyaid

Posted on

Cynhaliwyd Ras Hwyaid gyntaf Llangrannog 2026 ar Ddydd Sul Gŵyl y Banc 24 Mai 2026. Gwerthwyd pob un o’r 500 o hwyaid yn ogystal â nwyddau Llangrannog fel cardiau post a chylchoedd allweddi, a gwnaethom ychydig dros £500.

Roedd yn ddiwrnod poeth a phrysur iawn yn y pentref. Diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb a ddaeth i weithio ar y stondin, yn enwedig y criw o Fryngobaith! Mae Gerry a Cynyr yn haeddu sylw arbennig am greu argae ym mhen pellaf y cwlfert i roi digon o ddŵr i’r hwyaid redeg ynddo.

Enillodd noddwr y pedwar hwyaden gyntaf wobr ariannol, a wariwyd y cyfan ar hufen iâ, mwy na thebyg! Rhoddodd sawl dwsin o blant help llaw i gasglu’r hwyaid crwydr cyn iddynt ddianc i’r môr. Maent yn ôl yn ddiogel yn eu nythod a byddant yn rasio eto ar Ddydd Sul Gŵyl y Banc ym mis Awst.

Mae’r holl elw yn mynd tuag at waith Pwyllgor Lles Llangrannog megis cynnal a chadw Gardd y Pentref, yr Odyn Galch, meinciau, arwyddion a byrddau hysbysiadau. Eleni rydym hefyd yn bwriadu cynnal rhai digwyddiadau cymdeithasol fel y barbeciw poblogaidd iawn, parti gardd a mwy o gasgliadau sbwriel. Mae gennym gynllun hefyd i leddfu’r pwysau ar y biniau sbwriel wrth ymyl y traeth – cadwch lygad allan am hyn.

Mae’r holl aelodau (22 eleni) yn wirfoddolwyr ac felly mae eich arian yn mynd yn syth i helpu’r pentref. Os hoffech wybod mwy am ein gwaith neu ddod yn aelod o Gyfeillion Llangrannog, ewch i’r wefan https://friendsofllangrannog.org/
