My name is Lliwen and I am 9 years old. For the first time this year, me and my friends from Ysgol O M Edwards, Llanuwchllyn, took part in Creative Dance classes as part of the curriculum in our school. Because we enjoyed it so much we begged the teacher to let us compete in the Urdd Eisteddfod. We bought our own costumes, which were expensive lyrical dance dresses, and everbody liked them and looked forward to being able to keep them after the competition. We made it through 2 stages of the competition and got through to the final stage. This was big for some of us, who had never had the oppurtunity to compete in anything before and we were so excited to perform on a national level. We had a prelim in the morning and we wore our costumes for the last time. Someone either mistakingly or purposely took the bag which contained all 12 dance costumes, make up and hair box, tickets, music and food. We have sent emails and used social media to try and locate the bag and even contacted the police on that day. But we havent found it yet. We are now raising funds to purchase new costumes and would hope that you understand that we are deeply upset about what has happened to these lovely costumes. We hope to dance and compete again in the future. Please could you help us with a little donation? Every little helps. Diolch yn fawr
