Ymaelodi Â’r Gymdeithas

‘Rydym yn croesawu ceisiadau newydd am aelodaeth o Gymdeithas Crefftwyr Gogledd Cymru gan grefftwyr yn yr ardal. Dyma ychydig o fanteision aelodaeth:

Prisiau arbennig ac achub y blaen bwcio stondin yn ein ffeiriau crefft,
Cylchlythyr rheolaidd gan y Gymdeithas,
Rhannu gwybodaeth a phrofiad, a
Bod mewn cysylltiad ac aelodau eraill a’r Pwyllgor.

Cyfyngiadau

Mae rhai cyfyngiadau ar aelodaeth, yn unol â chyfansoddiad y Gymdeithas.

Dim mwy na 10% o’r aelodaeth yn byw tu allan i siroedd Gogledd Cymru)
Dim mwy na 20% o un math o grefft gan aelodaeth y Gymdeithas (er enghraifft, gellwn wrthod ceisiadau gan emyddion os oes mwy na 20% o’r aelodaeth yn gwneud gemwaith eisioes)
Rhaid i’r sawl sy’n gwneud cais am aelodaeth wneud cais ysgrifenedig i’r Ysgrifennydd Aelodaeth ar y ffurflen briodol a rhaid darparu sampl o’ch gwaith i’r Pwyllgor ei weld mewn cyfarfod dyfodol o’r Pwyllgor. Cysylltwch a’r Ysgrifennydd Aelodaeth i drefnu hyn. Fel rheol, ni chaniateir cais am aelodaeth heb weld sampl o’ch gwaith.

Yn ogystal a hyn, dylai’ch cynnyrch fod wedi’i wneud â llaw yn gyfan gwbl neu’n sylweddol gennych chi (ni chaniateir ail-werthu cynnyrch parod a wnaed gan rhywun arall yn ein ffeiriau crefft), a dylech fod ag yswiriant. Dylech gysylltu a’r Ysgrifennydd Aelodaeth cyn gyrru cais am aelodaeth.

Ffurflen Cais Am Aelodaeth

Cysylltwch â’r Ysgrifennydd Aelodaeth, manylion cyswllt isod.

Yswiriant

Sylwer fod rhaid i chi gael yswiriant Cyfrifoldeb Cyhoeddus (o leiaf) os yn masnachu mewn unrhyw ffair grefft neu marchnad. Mae sawl cwmni a brocer yswiriant ar gael wrth gwrs, ond os ydych angen cymorth i ddod o hyd i un, dyma ychydig o awgrymiadau i chi eu ystyried:
