Having been successful again at the Pentryhdfendigaed Eisteddfod for a third year, the choir agreed to present a cup to the Eisteddfod Committee for choirs to win in subsequent years – entitled the “Gwalia Cup”. [In reality the choir subsequently won its own cup back several times in future years!]

The choir recorded another ‘45 single’ record for Christmas entitled “White Christmas” together with the Olchfa School orchestra.

The choir had again been successful in competition including victories in the Rhymney, Cardigan and Miner’s Eisteddfodau. However they were unsuccessful at the Radio Wales and Choir of the Year competitions.

The choir entertained the “Facco Chor” choir from Mannheim at Easter.
