Rhyw 23 o aelodau oedd yno ar y dechrau ac yn canolbwyntio ar gystadlu yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd. Cafwyd llwyddiant mawr yn eisteddfod Caerfyrddin yn 2006 ac wedi hynny penderfynwyd mynd ati go iawn i agor y drysau a chael mwy o aelodau. Erbyn hyn mae dros 100 o blant yn dod i Bro Taf bob nos Fawrth ac wrth i r niferoedd godi mae r llwyddiant wedi codi yn ogystal. Ond deil y bwriad sef cael plant Rhondda Cynon Taf a Chaerdydd i feithrin a datblygu sgiliau perfformio trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg a thrwy ganolbwyntio ar y disgyblaethau traddodiadol fel canu a dawnsio gwerin, clocsio a cherdd dant. Bro Taf started as a small Urdd youth club in the Pontypridd area, meeting at Clwb y Bont. To begin with just 23 members were a part of the group, with the aim of competing in the Urdd Eisteddfod. The group had huge success at the Caerfyrddin Eisteddfod in 2006 and since then have dedicated its resources in opening its doors to even more members and increase its success at competitions. Today, there are over 100 children who attend the club every Tuesday, and as the number of members grows so does the talent and success. The main aim has always remained to help young people in Rhondda Cynon Taf and Cardiff to nurture and develop their performance skills through the medium of Welsh and by focusing on traditional disciplines such as folk singing, dancing, clogging and cerdd dant. 6 7
