GWYNEDD
Gwynedd Writing Squads
The Gwynedd Squad has been going from strength to strength for a number of years. It is unique amongst the Squads as it works bilingually; the sessions alternate between Welsh and English.
The members are chosen every two years when they are in year five or six, and they will remain a member until the age of fifteen.
The Gwynedd Squad is led by Gwen Lasarus James, Literature Promotion Officer for Gwynedd Council. She can be contacted on GwenLasarus@gwynedd.gov.uk
