Annwyl pawb / Dear all,

 

( please scroll down for the english)

 

 

Noder bod nifer o newidiadau gyda’r pwyllgor a rolau'r o fewn Ffederasiwn Amgueddfeydd ac Orielau Celf Cymru yn ddiweddar.

 

Mae Victoria Rogers wedi cael ei phenodi fel Pennaeth Amgueddfeydd a Chasgliadau gyda Llywodraeth Cymru ac felly mae wedi camu lawr o’i rôl fel Llywydd. Hoffem longyfarch Victoria a dymuniadau gorau iddi gyda’r swydd newydd. Siŵr y byddwch yn cytuno iddi fod yn gefnogwr ac eiriolwr cryf i’r sector yma yng Nghymru tra yn ei rôl fel Llywydd dros y 6 mlynedd diwethaf a hynny ar adeg anodd iawn.

 

Ar Fawrth 19eg mewn Pwyllgor o’r Ffederasiwn cytunwyd byddai Nêst Thomas yn cymryd drosodd fel Llywydd a Morrigan Mason fel Is-lywydd mewn rôl “gofalwyr” hyd y Cyfarfod Cyffredinol Blynyddol mis Hydref, pan fydd y penodiadau yn cael eu hysbysebu yn ffurfiol ac yn cael eu hethol gan yr aelodaeth. Mae Morrigan a fi yn edrych ymlaen at gefnogi’r sector yn ein rolau newydd.

 

Yn ogystal mae Sara Maggs wedi camu lawr fel Trysorydd yn sgil cael ei phenodi fel Cynghorydd Casgliadau gyda Llywodraeth Cymru. Hoffem ddymuno’n dda iddi ac rydym yn hynod o ddiolchgar am ei chyfraniad gwerthfawr fel Trysorydd yn enwedig yn ystod yr adeg anodd yma. Etholwyd Nigel Blackamore fel Trysorydd yn y Cyfarfod Anghyffredin a gynhaliwyd ar Ionawr 22, 2021.

 

Mae Richard Davies hefyd wedi camu lawr fel aelod o’r pwyllgor oherwydd iddo dderbyn swydd newydd yn Amgueddfa REME. Mae Richard wedi bod yn aelod gwerthfawr o’r pwyllgor a hoffem ddiolch iddo am ei gyfraniad a phob hwyl yn ei swydd newydd.

 

Rydym yn chwilio am rai a fyddai efo diddordeb mewn cael eu cyfethol i’r pwyllgor neu i gael eu hethol i’r pwyllgor yn yr CCB. Os oes unrhyw un efo diddordeb mewn bod yn rhan o waith y Ffederasiwn plîs cysylltwch gyda’r Ysgrifennydd neu gydag aelod arall o’r pwyllgor.

 

 

 

Please note there have been some changes to the Federation of Museums & Art Galleries in Wales’s committee and roles recently.

 

Victoria Rogers has been appointed as Head of Museums & Collections with Welsh Government and has therefore stepped down from her role as President. Congratulations Victoria and all the best with your new appointment.  I am sure you will agree that in her role as President for the last 6 years and during difficult times, she has strongly advocated and supported the Museum sector in Wales.  

 

During a meeting of the Federation Committee on March 19^th it was agreed that Nêst Thomas will take over as President with Morrigan Mason as Vice-President in “caretaker “ roles until the Annual General Meeting in October, when the posts will be formally advertised and elected by the membership. Morrigan and myself are looking forward to supporting the sector in our new roles.

 

Also Sara Maggs has also stepped down as Treasurer as she has been appointed to a post with Welsh Government as Collections Adviser. We wish her all the best and are very grateful for her invaluable contribution as Treasurer especially during these difficult times. Nigel Blackamore was elected as the new Treasurer at the Extraordinary Meeting held on January 22, 2021.

 

Richard Davies has also stepped down as a committee member due to a new position at the REME Museum. Richard has been an invaluable member of the committee and we thank him for his contribution and wish him all the best in his new position.

 

We are looking for people who would be interested in being co-opted onto committee or who can be elected onto committee at AGM. For anyone interested in becoming more involved with work of Federation please contact the Secretary or any other members of the committee. 

 

 

Nêst Thomas

Llywydd / President
