Cymdeithas Madog will be heading
back to Iowa for the 32nd annual Cwrs Cymraeg Welsh language week. Cwrs y Rhosyn Gwyllt, The Wild Rose Course,
will be held July 13-20, 2008, on the campus of Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa.
Cwrs Cymraeg (which simply means
"Welsh Course") emphasizes the spoken language, with classroom instruction at various levels ranging
from absolute beginners to quite advanced. The teaching staff of experienced Welsh-speaking instructors is brought
from Wales and North America . There are approximately 5 hours of language class each day, supplemented by further
language and culture-related activities in the afternoon. Evening events such as singing, folk dancing, Welsh-language
films, and a Noson Lawen (talent night) provide additional opportunities to relax while enjoying a Welsh-language
atmosphere.

Eisteddfod Y Cwrs / The Cwrs Eisteddfod
One of the high points of Cwrs
Cymraeg is our own Cwrs Eisteddfod, a literary competition in Welsh that includes all levels of learners. The winning
bard at the highest (most fluent) level receives the Cymdeithas Madog chair, a beautifully wrought miniature version
of the official chair for the 1989 Llanrwst National Eisteddfod.
Eisteddfod topics for levels 1
through 5 are announced at the start of the course; however, to give participants more time to compose, the topic
for levels 6 and 7 is announced early. The topic for the 2008 Eisteddfod is "Pontydd" (Bridges).
This topic is inspired by the lovely
historic covered bridges of Madison County, which students may visit as part of the optional field trip during
Cwrs Cymraeg y Rhosyn Gwyllt. Entrants may interpret or apply the topic in any way they wish. Your entry may be
prose or poetry, but it must be a piece of original writing of a minimum of 350 words. You may use any written
materials you like (dictionaries, grammars etc.) but you may not consult any living Welsh speaker for assistance
with your entry.
