Y Cynghorydd Mrs Margaret Edwards - Maer 2011/2012

Mae’r Cynghorydd Mrs Margaret Edwards wedi byw ym Mae Colwyn ers 1967 gan weithio gyda’i gŵr Gordon yn eu busnes argraffu yn Llandudno ers tua 1970.  Mae wedi cael bywyd brysur iawn gyda’i thri phlentyn, Timothy, Trilby & Tony.    

Dechreuodd tymor y Cynghorydd Mrs Edwards yn ei swydd fel Maer ar 9/05/2011. Mae eisoes wedi cael nifer o alwadau ers iddi gymryd ei swydd o fod yn Faer Bae Colwyn, yn cynnwys ymweliad a Chaerdydd. Cafodd flwyddyn brysur y llynedd fel Dirprwy Faer ac mae’n edrych ymlaen at gyfarfod yr holl Feiri newydd etholedig yr ardal.

Mae’r Maer hefyd yn edrych ymlaen at weld y prosiect i wella’r promenâd wedi’i orffen a’r holl welliannau eraill sy’n digwydd yn y cyfnod o adfywhau Bae Colwyn, yn cynnwys yr estyniadau newydd i’r “Barn” ar gae Rygbi Cenedlaethol Parc Eirias.

Enillwyd cystadleuaeth Cymru yn ei Blodau gan Fae Colwyn am y nawfed tro yn olynol yn 2010 a gobaith y Maer yw bydd Bae Colwyn yn ennill eto eleni! Mi fydd yn flwyddyn gyffrous iawn i Fae Colwyn ac mae’n edrych ymlaen at gymryd rhan yn yr holl weithgareddau sy’n dod.

Diddordebau’r Cynghorydd Mrs Edwards yw garddio, gem cardiau ‘bridge’ a bywyd y cartref a’r teulu. Roedd y Maer a’i gwr yn aelodau sylfaenwyr o Ford Gron a Chylch Merched Conwy yn y chwedegau a’r saithdegau pan yr ailgodwyd Carnifal Conwy ganddynt ac a fu yn llwyddiannus iawn, gan godi llawer o filoedd o bunnoedd dros ychydig o flynyddoedd.

Elusen y Maer ar gyfer ei blwyddyn fel Maer yw Apêl Cancr Ron & Margaret Smith a leolir yn Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.

Councillor Mrs Margaret Edwards - Mayor 2011/2012

Cllr Mrs Margaret Edwards has lived in Colwyn Bay since 1967 working with her husband Gordon at their printing business in Llandudno from about 1970.  She has had a very busy life with her three children, Timothy, Trilby & Tony.   

Cllr Mrs Edwards' term of office as Mayor began on 9/05/2011. Since taking office, She has had quite a few engagements as Mayor of the Bay of Colwyn including a trip to Cardiff.  She had a busy year as Deputy Mayor last year and is looking forward to meeting all the newly elected Mayors in the area. 

The Mayor is also looking forward to seeing the newly refurbished promenade project being completed and all the other improvements that are happening during the regeneration of Colwyn Bay, including the new “Barn” extensions to the Eirias Park National Rugby field. 

The Wales in Bloom competition was won by Colwyn Bay for the ninth time in 2010 in succession and The Mayor hopes that Colwyn Bay manage it again this year!  It will be a very exciting year for Colwyn Bay and she looks forward to taking part in all the forthcoming activities.  

Cllr Mrs Edwards interests are gardening, bridge and home & family life.  The Mayor and her husband were founder members of Conwy Round Table & Ladies Circle in the late sixties & seventies, where they resurrected the very successful Conwy Carnival raising many thousands of pounds over a few years.
