Urdd and alcohol

It’s ironic that on the day I travel up to Ysgol y Moelwyn, Blaenau Ffestiniog to speak to schoolchildren, at their invitation, about the perils of drug misuse that the Ceredigion Licensing Authority has granted Urdd Gobaith Cymru (sic) a license to enable them to sell alcohol – the most invidious, damaging drug of all- on the eisteddfod field. I am deeply saddened at this decision. One wonders at their excuse for granting this license – ‘no objections [were received] from any Responsible Authorities “within the immediate area”. I have no idea what “immediate area” means – the surrounding field, possibly? No objections were received, obviously, from the cattle or sheep? For they are the only inhabitants of the “immediate area”.
