Mayoral Message for 2017 Eisteddfod Program

Penrith Council is proud to support the 33rd Annual City of Penrith Eisteddfod. Each year the Eisteddfod provides a wonderful opportunity for many gifted individuals to compete in a diverse program of music, speech, drama and dance. It also gives people of all ages the chance to develop their talents and share them with a wide audience. The experience of competing in an Eisteddfod builds character, confidence and allows participants to learn important life lessons such as the value of presentation and dedicated practice. The City of Penrith Eisteddfod has a reputation for high standards and I am confident this year’s event will uphold this record. I’d like to congratulate and thank The City of Penrith Eisteddfod Society members, the event organisers and sponsors for their ongoing dedication and support. On behalf of Council and the people of Penrith, I’d like to warmly welcome those visiting our City. I hope you have time during your stay to explore our many attractions. I wish everyone involved an enjoyable and successful Eisteddfod. Yours sincerely

Councillor John Thain Mayor
