Sunday the 3rd of June saw a band of intrepid sailors set off to compete in the Menai Straits Raft Race 2018. It was a beautiful day for the race which was over a course of approximately 4 miles through the straits. The whole event was very well organised, with safety given a high priority & all the teams seemed to enjoy themselves.
Egg throwing was quite limited, although it did kick off for a short while before the start of the race, but didn’t put off our gallant team who came in at 16th position out of 35 starters, so well done Team Denbigh Rotary Dinbych. Hopefully a significant sum will be raised for charity – the designated charities being Air Ambulance, St Kentigern, & Hope House.
Yn ystod dydd Sul y 3ydd o Fehefin fe welwyd band o forwyr dewr yn cystadlu yn Ras Rasio Afon Menai 2018. Roedd hi'n ddiwrnod prydferth o braf ar gyfer y ras a oedd dros gwrs o ryw 4 milltir trwy'r tyfiant. Roedd y digwyddiad cyfan wedi ei drefnu'n dda iawn, gyda diogelwch yn cael blaenoriaeth uchel ac roedd pob un o'r timau'n ymddangos i fwynhau eu hunain.
Roedd taflu wyau yn eithaf cyfyngedig, er ei fod y cychwynnodd am ychydig cyn dechrau'r ras, ond ni chafodd effaith ar ein tîm a ddaeth i mewn yn yr 16eg allan o 35 o ddechreuwyr - da iawn Tîm Rotary Dinbych. Gobeithio y bydd swm sylweddol yn cael ei godi ar gyfer elusennau - yr elusennau dynodedig yw Aer Ambiwlans, St Kentigern, ac Hope House.
