Gyrrwr MiDAS y Flwyddyn Ceredigion 2012 Rhagbrawf Gorllewin Cymru

The Ceredigion MiDAS Driver of the Year 2012 heats were held on Saturday, 21st July, at Aberporth Airfield. Six volunteer drivers had agreed to compete, three from Pembrokeshire and three from Ceredigion. Two MiDAS trainers from Ystwyth Transport, Reg Budd and Ian Seabrooke, were asked to assess the driving parts of the competition. Each driver had to com-plete a quiz, drive around the circuit on the airfield, and drive for about half an hour around town. Yst-wyth Transport and Dolen Teifi lent a bus each for the competition. The CAVO Community Transport Team organised the day, and Hazel Lloyd Lubran was on hand to present the certificates and prizes. CTA Wales and Q’straint sponsored the main prizes for the winner [£100], the runner up [£50] and [£400] to the winning

Ceredigion MiDAS Driver of the Year 2012 West Wales Heat

The following competed to be the Ceredi-gion MiDAS Driver of the Year 2012; Edward Bunston, Nick Stevens, Peter Howitt, Lyn Jones, Jonathan Rees and Clare Hughes. Edward, Nick and Peter represented Pem-brokeshire Community Transport; Lyn drives for Dolen Teifi, Jonathan for Llangrannog CT Group and Clare is a stalwart of the Ystwyth Transport Group. They were all presented with a certificate and goody-bag on the day, and the overall winner and runner up were notified the following Monday. The winner was Peter Howitt and the runner up was Ed-ward Bunston, both from Pembrokeshire.

CT Group, along with tickets and overnight accommodation for the winner and runner up to the CTA Wales Conference in Cardiff. Allied Vehicles provided goody-bags for all the competitors, and thank-you gifts for the assessors, who volunteered their time on the day.

Roedd yn ddiwrnod braf i bawb ac yn gystadleuaeth wych. Gwnaeth pawb fwynhau’r maes awyr a’r bwyd.

Hoffai Tîm Cludiant Cymunedol CAVO estyn ein diolch i’r holl gystadleuwyr wnaeth hwn yn ddiwrnod gwerth chweil ac yn llawn hwyl i bawb. Rydym, hefyd, yn barod i dderbyn rhai o’r awgrymiadau gawsom ar sut i wella’r rhag-brofion ac i wneud cystadleuaeth Gyrrwr MiDAS y Flwyddyn yn un mwy cyflawn. Roedd nifer o’r gyrwyr yn ystyried bod y gystadleuaeth ddim yn adlewyrchu’r safonau sy’n ddisgwyliedig o’r gyrwyr gwirfoddol. Roedd y prawf gyrru o am-gylch y rhwystrau wedi ei amseru, sy’n groes i’r hyfforddiant MiDAS ar yrru diogel. Roedd nifer yn meddwl y byddai’n beth da ychwanegu rownd byr ar ofal cwsmeriaid. Byddai hyn yn well adlew-yrchiad o’r hyn mae gwirfoddolwyr yn wneud na’r gystadleuaeth fel y mae ar hyn o bryd.

Bydd yr ennillydd a’r ail yn cael cyfle i gystadlu yng nghystadleuaeth Gyrrwr MiDAS y Flwyddyn CTA Cymru 2012 yng Nghaerdydd ym mis Hydref. Byddant yn derbyn tocynnau i Gynhadledd CTA Cymru a’u llety. Rhoddir cymorthdal tuag at lety eu partneriaid.

Cynhaliwyd y rhagbrofion ar faes awyr Aberporth ar un o’r diwrnodau hirfelyn tesog o Haf. Tra’n bod ni’n pobi o dan yr adlen, roedd y cystadleu-wyr a’r aseswyr yn foddfa o chwys yn yr haul. Paratowyd y bwyd gan Chris Bowen, gyda pheth cymorth/rhwystr gan Sioned, Enid a Hazel. Rhan-nwyd cacennau Marg Budd i’r cystadleuwyr, aseswyr, a phawb laniodd ar y maes awyr ar y diwrnod. Daeth dwy awyren lawr, gydag un yn glanio’n lletchwith. Gwnaethpwyd archwiliad manwl am unrhyw ddifrod gan y peilot a’r peirian-nydd. Cafodd Chris ac Enid gyfle i weld beth sy’n digwydd yn y cefndir ar faes awyr fel Aberporth, a thro i ben y tŵr gyda John. Dangosom ein diolch gyda darn o gacen a sconsen.

The CAVO Community Transport Team would like to thank all the competitors for making this a fund filled and worthwhile day. We will also take on board some of the suggestions they had to improve the MiDAS Driver of the Year heats, and make this a more rounded competition. Most of the drivers felt that the competition, as it stands, does not reflect the standards required of a vol-untary minibus driver. The manoeuvring test was timed, which goes against the MiDAS training regarding safe driving. It was also felt that a short round on customer care should also be added. This would reflect the nature of the volunteering much better than the competition as it stands.

The winner and runner up will go on to compete at the CTA Wales MiDAS Driver of the Year 2012 in October in Cardiff. They will receive tickets to the CTA Wales Conference and their accommoda-tion will be paid for. Their partners’ accommodation will be subsidised.

The heats were held on the Aberporth Airfield on the first really glorious day of Summer. We swel-tered under the awning while the assessors and competitors baked in the sun. Refreshments were prepared by Chris Bowen, with a little bit of help from Sioned, Enid and Hazel. Marg Budd sup-plied cakes for afternoon tea, which were greatly appreciated by everyone, including two pilots who were tinkering with their engine. Two light aircraft landed at the airfield during the heats, with one tipping over and possibly causing some damage to its propeller and engine. The pilot and engineer then spent the next three hours stripping down the engine to check for any damage. Chris and Enid were also given an insight into the workings of the checking systems at Aberporth, and we received a birds-eye view over the airfield from the tower. We repaid the controller with a slice of sponge and a scone, which was much appreciated.

All in all, this was a great day out and a wonderful competition Everyone enjoyed the airfield and the food

Roedd yn ddiwrnod braf i bawb ac yn gystadleuaeth wych. Gwnaeth pawb fwynhau’r maes awyr a’r bwyd.

Ystwyth Transport launched a new dial-a-ride service on the 17th July in the Statkraft Visitor Centre,Cwm Rheidol. The Bws Bro Rheidol Dial a Ride service covers Aberffrwd, Cwm Rheidol and parts of Capel Bangor. The pilot project is funded by the Big Lottery grant scheme Awards for All. This service is intended for those who have no transport or mobility problems.

Ystwyth Community Transport Group

The regular passengers of the Bws Bro Aberystwyth, who commenced using this service as individuals or couples have now found it has added an extra social dimension to their lives. They have formed a Constituted Group called the Aberystwyth Joy Riders, opened their own bank account and have successfully applied to Awards For All (Big Lottery) for a grant to enable them to hire transport to take them on two social outings per month for fifteen months, thus opening their social life to trips to National Trust Properties, the National Botanic Gardens and Christmas Fairs etc.

This flexible service will pick up passengers up from their home and link them with local services and amenities in the nearby town of Aberystwyth, and return them home after-wards. This service is an extension of the Bws Bro service and is already very popular with the local residents, providing them with vital transport links to local services and amenities.

The service runs every Friday departing at 10:30am. Book your place by telephoning Mavis on 0845020 4322 any morning during the week before you wish to travel.

Heno from S4C joined in the celebrations and coverage of the launch event can be found on Heno’s website. Well done to Ystwyth Transport we wish you very success !

1. Mudiad sydd wedi’i reoli’n dda ac ar seiliau ariannol cadarn

Bydd cyllidwyr yn awyddus i wybod a yw’ch mudiad yn cael ei redeg yn dda ac a yw’n rheoli ei ar-ian yn dda. Er mwyn dangos eich hygrededd i gyllidwr rhaid i’ch mudiad gyflawni ei bwrpas. Rhaid i gyllidwyr fod yn hyderus y gallant ymddiried eu harian ynoch a bod yr hyn a ariennir ganddynt yn debygol o lwyddo.

A A oes gennych weithdrefnau rheoli ac ariannol addas sy’n briodol ar gyfer mudiad o faint eich un chi

B Sut allwch chi ddangos bod eich cyflwr ariannol yn gymharol resymol ac iach

2. Cynllun prosiect realistig a chynhwysfawr

Mae llenwi ffurflen gais mewn gwirionedd yn golygu eich bod yn ceisio gwerthu syniad i rywun sydd â’r arian neu’r adnoddau i wireddu’r syniad hwnnw. Os gallwch argyhoeddi cyllidwr bod gen-nych syniad da, mae eich cais yn fwy tebygol o gael ei gymeradwyo. Mae cais am arian yn fwy tebygol o lwyddo os oes gennych gynllun prosiect sydd wedi cael sylw gofalus.

A A yw eich gweithgarwch yn cyfateb i flaenoriaethau a meini prawf cymhwysedd y cyllidwr

B A allwch chi gyflawni’r hyn yr ydych yn honni y gallwch? Cofiwch, mae gan gyllidwyr brofiad helaeth o benderfynu a yw darn o waith yn ddichonadwy

C A yw’ch gweithgarwch yn realistig ac a yw’n cynnwys gweithredoedd rhesymol? A ellir ei gyflawni o fewn yr amserlenni a roddwyd

Ch A yw’ch gweithgarwch arfaethedig yn cyd-fynd â gweithgareddau eraill eich mudiad

D A oes gennych bwyntiau gwerthu unigryw? Pam ydych chi’n credu mai chi yw’r mudiad gorau i darparu’r gweithgarwch hwn? Beth sy’n wahanol am eich ffordd chi o wneud pethau
