Sian Price, Nia James, Rhian Jones and Sian Evans getting acquainted with the campus at the University Wales Week in NYC a Huge Success! The ten exchange students from Trinity College spent the last week in February in NYC to participate in "Wales Week" celebration leading up to St. David's Day. The students were joined by five other choir members from Trinity and held 3 lunch concerts in cathedrals around New York. On Tuesday and Wednesday nights seven of the students were involved in the play "New Worlds" written with Welsh playwright Ian Rowlands. Reviews were very favorable for the performance and the students returned to campus after a full week of excitement.
Welsh Flags Fly Over Rio Grande, Ohio The village of Rio Grande, Ohio recently decided to adopt a new flag which incorporates the Red Dragon, the symbol on the Welsh flag. The Madog Center for Welsh Studies helped fund the program to purchase 40 flags to fly on light poles along with the Ohio and American flags. The Madog Center was happy to assist with this project as it supports our mission of fostering interest and understanding of Welsh history and contemporary Welsh culture. With the rich Welsh heritage in the area around Rio Grande and southeastern Ohio, village mayor Matt Easter thought the Welsh symbol would be perfect for the village. The flags are available for sale and they hope to offer more items with the Welsh symbol for sale in the future. For more information or to purchase a flag, call the Village of Rio Grande at (740) 245-5822 or email them at rgvillage@sbcglobalnet.
