Pawb. I am still on line for retirement, my fb account down and what a relief, it really is rubbish and so 'Teengage', home for retired patriots with nothing much to say or do, Leannes 'New Plaidites' (see Labour New Kinnock Left) and the most pathetic 'Welsh Nat Left' and BC Romantic 'Patriotic Finge' Nationalists you could ever come across. What's gone wrong, glad I am out of it. Anyway before I slip off this Patriotic Planet fast breaking up, just trying to move some things I consider crucial along fast forward. So please give the below your most serious consideration.
Gethin on behalf of what is left of YSBRYD COFIWN.

WHY COMMEMORATE THE BATTLE OF
It was a defining Moment...
Welsh Nats better get an act together, I mean shift fast, like yesterday. So take aboard fast what I have said in this post in I'r Gad as I am not wasting much more time on what has become post Cofiwn apathy and lethargy You need to seriously think about getting really up and at it. Not just hobby horse history but for real Cymric Consciousness
An Idea!
See below
The commemoration of this seminal event will reflect the strategy and planning of ...OF WATERLOO, 1815, HAVE RELEVANCE AND SIGNIFICANCE IN 2015.
What about in 2015, we hold a National Conference on the theme of Defining Moment/s in Welsh History but for this I need back up support to get off the ground and then maybe sponsors. As for organisation we have over a year to get organised and thus there is plenty of time to consider much and source grants, first off a meeting required of those out there who are keen to be involved to suss what is what and which way to go. I feel this should be a Weekend Event and include both historical and political themes, there could be two ways for this to go, keep it moderate and hand over to a University or such or it is kept political, so what do you think? Do note, I do not intend to be over fully involved, I am just kicking of ok.
I shall call this project at the moment:
WHITHER WALES IN WELSH HISTORY or Maybe WHEN WAS WALES REVISITED or, got any suggestions? If you feel moved enough by above an article would be welcome for me to publish in my YMGYRCH TREFTADAETH CYMRU blog. My suggested name:
YR ENNDYD DIFFINIOL
(above suggested sub titles)
I got to go to Beullt area sometime in August, if enough people interested in anything in this Email Newsletter, I will organise an informal meeting for some preliminary discussion on it all but mostly the Priorities.

NB: This month's BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE IS FULL OF USEFUL INFO- REC A BUY!
Not much big going on in Wales, so try England.
Note if you read I'r Gad you will see I have suggested a Welsh Battles Centre in Builth Wells.
Why not a Welsh Battlefield Centre.

Why No Welsh Battlefield Trust yet?
Why no great Welsh Heritage Festival as below, at the RWSG Maybe.

COMMENT:-
The scenic upland wilderness of Mynydd y Gwair in Mawr Ward northSwansea is scheduled to be utterly trashed with a massive Wind Turbine Power Station with miles of service roads and immense concrete bases and some of the biggest ever Wind Turbines ever built on UK land all across this massive open common. Then there are current applications for two more sites for further farm based Wind Turbines. Also two sites (one approved) for 35,000 and another for 135,000 panels of Photo Voltaic cells. All this is for milking Renewable Energy subsidies and will do nothing – not a jot – to alter global climate change. On top of that all of Mawr is now subject of interest for drilling for Gas. Maybe Tourism Operators could run bus trips for city folk to see where the 12% levies on all their electric bills will go to enrich foreign developers and the feudal Lord of the Manor. It is a tragedy foisted upon us by lunacy from the Asylum in Cardiff Bay. I hope that potential tourists will be told the honest story of how politicians and developers are hell bent on destroying our area here.
DEAD END GULCH
