Annwyl Rhiant / Ffrindiau

Yr ydym heddiw wedi cael ar ddeall bod y Cyngor llawn yn mynd di drafod y mater o gau ysgolion yn eu cyfarfod dydd Iau yma 17/07/03 am 10.00 yn y bore. Erbyn hyn mae llythyr wedi mynd at bob aelod i egluro cryfder ein hachos ni yn Hermon. Gellid darllen y llythyr ar y safle we www.hermonglogue.co.uk hefyd mae llythyr wedi mynd i’n cyfreithwyr i egluro yr oll bwyntiau positif o ran addysg, cyllid a chymuned gryf sydd gennym yn Hermon, Glog a Llanfyrnach. Os oes unrhyw rieni yn rhydd i fynd lawr dydd Iau yna croeso i chi fynychu ond deallwn fod agenda go hir felly o bosib bydd rhaid aros am awr neu fwy cyn bod eitem Ysgol Hermon yn cael ei drafod. Mae’n debygol y bydd yna ddadl ond oherwydd bod y criw o Gynghorwyr annibynnol mor gryf ag yn ofni pechi y cabinet rhag of colli ryw adnodd yw ardal nhw, anebygol iawn y gwelwn benderfyniad positif i gadw Hermon ar agor.

Felly i fwrw ymlaen ar ymgyrch – mae nawr eisiau i chi a bawb sy’n fodlon cefnogi o unrhyw ran o’r wlad ddanfon llythyr gwrthwynebiad gan egluro cryfder ein hysgol a gofyn i’r cyngor sir i fwrw ymlaen ac adeiladu Ysgol gynradd 130 o blant ac nid 180. Fe fydd eisiau cymaint posib o lythyron i gyrraedd erbyn yr 18/08/03 ble bydd pob llythyr yn mynd ymlaen i’r cynulliad i gael ei ddarllen fel gwrthwynebiad swyddogol. Dylid danfon y Gwrthwynebiad at sylw: Gerson Davies, Cyngor Sir Benfro, Neuadd Y Sir, Hwlffordd. Sir Benfro.

Er mwyn cael mwy o adnoddau i herio’r cyngor sir yr ydym yn awr wedi agor cronfa ymgyrch Ysgol Hermon ble os ydych am gyfrannu fe allwch dalu unrhyw symiau mewn i Gyfrif : Ymgyrch - Ysgol Hermon – Campaign : Banc Lloyds TSB - Code Sort 30-91-65, Rhif Cyfrif 0806593 neu danfonwch unrhyw gyfraniad at yr Ysgol neu ataf fi adref = Pantyrysgol, Hermon, Y Glog , Sir Benfro. SA36 0DT. Byddwn yn gwario’r arian ar hysbysebion yn y Western Telegraph i annog rhagor o lythyron gwrthwynebu a hefyd i gael baneri i hyrwyddo’r ein achos.

Gan fod y gwyliau haf nawr ar ddechrau hoffem i bawb sydd ar e-bost i ddanfon e-bost imi fel bod modd creu grwp o e-bost rhieni ac yna cadw mewn cyswllt dros yr haf : danfonwch e-bost i mi ar crisalona@members.v21.co.uk

Dear Parents/Friends

It is only today that we have received confirmation that the full members of the county council will be discussing the closure of Hermon School during their full meeting this Thursday 17/07/03 at 10.00 am in Haverfordwest. By now a letter has been sent to all members outlining the strong arguments for retaining Hermon Community school – a copy of the letter can be viewed on website www.hermonglogue.co.uk also a letter has now been sent to our solicitor outlining the strong educational arguments over retaining Hermon school and the financial, community and social benefits of keeping the school open for the inhabitants of Hermon, Glog and Llanfyrnach. If any parents are free to travel to the meeting please do so but I must note that the agenda for the morning is full where you might have to wait for over an hour before our item is debated, at least this time we know that there are supporters within the council who will speak for us. But we must realise the independent majority members will undoubtedly support the cabinet as they will be too uneasy of possible cabinet retaliation against their constituents future proposals for developments within their area.

So to move ahead with the Campaign – now is the time to ask anyone and every one who is willing to object the closure to send in their objection letters. Under the statutory notice of closure the council stated that “anyone person” could object, but of course we have to put forward the strong arguments. These argument again can be viewed on the above website where we must ask the council to change the policy and build a 130 area school in Crymych and not a 180 one thus leaving Hermon in peace. Please ask everyone to send their letters by the 180/08/03 to Gerson Davies, Pembrokeshire County Council, County Hall, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire.

In order to secure further resource for our fight a Campaign Fund has now been opened under a LloydsTSB Bank account called: Ymgyrch - Ysgol Hermon – Campaign: Sort Code 30-91-95 : Account Number 0806593. Any one wishing to donate anonymously may pay straight into the account or alternatively send any donations to the school or to my address at: Pantyrysgol, Hermon, Y Glog, Sir Benfro. SA36 0DT. We will be using the funds to arrange adverts in the Western Telegraph to ask people to officially object and to produce promotional banners and literature.

Since the summer school holidays are now upon us could I kindly ask all parents and friends who are on e-mail to send me your e-mail addresses where a parents e-mail group can receive regular bulletins over the summer. Please send to my e-mail address crisalona@members.v21.co.uk

Yr eiddoch yn gywir, Yours Sincerely
