Hen Felin
Ym mis Rhagfyr 1997, bu'r band yn ffodus iawn ( trwy waith caled ein Is-Gadeirydd ac aelod o'r adran taro Ian Wyn Williams) i dderbyn nifer o grantiau i ddatblygu ein hadnoddau ymarfer. Derbynwyd y prif grant o £263,364 gan adain arian lotri'r Cyngor Celfyddydau Cenedlaethol i ymestyn ac adnewyddu'r hen ystafell ymarfer a chynnig ystafelloedd ar gyfer defnydd cymunedol. I'n galluogi i ddatblygu'r ystafell gymunedol ( fel bo clybiau a chymdeithasau'n gallu cynnal eu cyfarfodydd neu arddangosfeydd) cafwyd grant o £40,000 gan Gyngor Sir Gwynedd. Cafwyd grant pellach o £8,458 gan Sefydliad y Celfyddydau a Chwaraeon i sicrhau offer swyddfa ac adnoddau eraill i wella'r ystafell ymarfer. Cynhaliodd y band Astudiaeth Dichonoldeb trwy gymorth grant o £500 (trwy garedigrwydd Sefydliad Brenhinol Penseiri Prydain/ Gwobr Telecom Prydain am Ddyluniad yn y Gymdeithas). Dechreuwyd y gwaith ar y prosiect ym mis Hydref 1998 ac fe'i gwblhawyd ym Mai 1999. Ail-agorwyd ystafell y band ar 15fed o Fai 1999 gan Mr Ian W Williams a Mr Dafydd Wigley AS.
Yn y rhan hyn o'r safwe fe welwch y trawsnewud ddigwyddodd i'r adeilad o fod yn hen felin oedd dros ddwy ganrif oed i fod yn ystafell Ymarfer gyda mwyaf modern ac ystafelloedd Cymunedol moethus. Defnyddiwch y cysylltiadau ar y chwith i ymlwybro drwy'r adran.

In December 1997, the band was very fortunate (due to the hard work of our Vice-Chairman and percussion player Mr. Ian Wyn Williams) to receive a number of grants to develop our rehearsal facilities. A grant of £263,364 was received from The Arts Council of Wales’ National Lottery funding to extend and refurbish our rehearsal facilities, and the provision of community rooms. To help with the provision of these community rooms (where local clubs & societies will be able to hold their meetings and/or exhibitions) a further grant of £40,000 was received from the Gwynedd County Council. A grant of £8,458 was received from the Foundation For Sport And The Arts to provide associated office equipment and sound panels to go with the improved facilities. The Band commissioned a Feasibility Study for the proposed project with assistance of a £500 grant from the joint Royal Institute of British Architects/British Telecom Community Design Award. Work on this project started in October 1998 and was completed in May 1999. The bandroom was officially re-opened on 15th May 1999 by Mr. Ian W Williams & Mr. Dafydd Wigley MP.
