Singers and speakers were out in force on Friday as St John’s Methodist Church Hall hosted an Eisteddfod.
The event, which was held in St John’s for many years, was reinstated in 2014 – and its revival has been hailed a success.
Competitions were held for adults including hymn raising, solo singing, recitation, stump speech and many other classes.
Cups from the Cronk-y-Voddy Eisteddfod were donated for many of the classes and well-known accompanist Marilyn Cannell was on the piano.
Chairman for the night was John Kennaugh, joined by adjudicators Dot Tilbury and Graham Crowe.
