GOOD NEWS FIRST
MY BROTHER GOT MARRIED IN LEWISHAM
GETHIN AND SIAN ALL KITTED OUT IN GODFATHER STYLE.
OUR FAVORITE PLACE IN LEWISHAM.
THE SAD NEWS.
WHILST WE WERE AWAY IN LEWISHAM FOR A WEEK MY UNCLE BEAU DIED, HE HAD STOMACH CANCER PLUS DEMENTIA FOR SOME TIME. I WAS ONLY AWARE OF THIS NOT SO LONG BACK AND THANKFULLY WE PAID A VISIT BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY. BEAU WAS A BOXER IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS AND WHILST STATIONED IN ERITREA WITH THE SWB USED TO GO INTO LOCAL VILLAGES TO FIGHT WITH NATIVE FIGHTERS AT HOME HE HAD FOUGHT ON FAIRGROUND BOXING BOOTHS. AS A YOUNG BOY I HAD GONE WITH MY DAD (HIS COACH) TO SEE BEAU BOX. FIGHTING WAS A FAMILY TRADITION AS MAM'S DAD WAS ONE OF MERTHYRS LAST BARE KNUCKLE FIGHTERS OFTEN CHASED OFF THE MOUNTAINS BY LOCAL POLICE. A FOND MEMORY OF BEAU IS GOING DOWN THE GOWER WITH HE AND DAD TO CATCH CRABS AND BOIL THEM UP WHEN WE GOT HOME, CRABS FOR FOOD ALL WEEK.
NOW A CASE OF ONE WEDDING AND A FUNERAL NEXT WEEK.

COFIWN NEW YEAR 2015 MEDIA STAJAEMENT
We note
with some concern that next year 2015 England
commemorate
the anniversaries of Magna Carta 1215, Azincourt
1415 and
Waterloo
Concern
but not with out Association and influences uPon Wales
Whilst
in Wales
anniversary
of establishment of the Welsh Patagonia Colony
in
1865.
Hopefully this commemoration will cause us to also reflect
on the
native peoples of Patagonia and their long
resistance to
they
being conquored by the Argentinian 'Coquistadores' and later
Colonisers,
These natjve peoples 'Mapuche' still have to wage a
resistance
to now 'Corporate Capitalists' who plunder their lands jn
both Argentina and Chile
2015
also marks the 300th Aniversary of the founding of the
Society
of Ancient Britons iin1715 at a London
the
English Princess of Wales
Loyalty
to the English Crown much due to fact that the 'Welsh
Establishment'
of the day sought to show their loyalty to England
while
the Scots were engaged in the first Stuart rebellion. These
'Ancient
Britons' took the English Princes 'Three Feathers' as their
badge of
loyalty and were thus responsible for in time i1:i
poPularity
amongst Welsh People as thejr contemporav svmbol of
loyaltv
to English Crown and their 'English Princes for Wales
Sadly,
not doubt the 600th Anniversary of Owain
Glyndwr's
'Disappearence'
on St Mathews Day 21 September in 1415 will be
ignored
as who would want to commemorate this and the
beginning
of the end of this armed struggle of National Liberation
from
English Rule. Not however untill 1421 as guerrila resistance
led by
Maredudd Owain and the 'Gwerin Owain ' Rebel Outlaws
would
continue. However, in 'Ysbryd Cofiwn' we shall fully support
the
Embassy Glyndwr Glyndwr 660 Commemorative Programme
(see
their blog} to further promote and reinyjaorate celebration of
all the
great and signifigant acheivements of our natjonal hero
Owaln IV
the true last Prince of Wales - 'Tywysog Cymru'.
This
leads me to conclude by drawing attention to other much
needed
Welsh Commemorations for 2016, hopefully Welsh
Assembly
Government, CADW and also Educational and other
bodies
Creative and cultural also not least associated communities
will
during 2015 busy themselves preparing signifigant national
programmes
for such 2016 National Commemorations as the 2016
50th
Aberfan Disaster 1966 and the sooth Anniversary of the most
worth
reminding that 2016 Marks the lOOt Anniversaries of the
Battles
of Mametz and Festubert both Battles having strong Welsh
Associations
and thus should not be forgotten. 2016 .will also mark
the
200th Anniversary of the Merthyr Revolt of 1816. Last but not
least
some Welsh Nationalists will be mindful that 2011'marks 20th
Anniyersarv
of Death 1995 of Julian Cayo Evans Commandant fWA.
