ADFYWIAD AGIT - PROP WORKSHOP P2: Making a Campaign Banner.

.

Naughty! Naughty! Naughty! Bad! Bad! Bad Boyos! Now below news cutting illustrates perfectly the 'Old Ways' of doing things, these days we have a more Eco Freindly 'Touchy Feely' way of doing things that does no one and nothing any harm, got that? Now read on >

Did I hear someone at back of class say ''F**K Fred'', I hope not? as it's not in spirit of the 'New Ways' OK! Whatever, I got the idea regards the 'Campaigning Banner' in Cadiz of all places, I was wandering around the City one day, and there just happened to be a Bank Strike on (last year in Paris I walked into a Waiters Strike, what is it with my holidays?). Outside one Bank there was a small orderly picket protest going on.

.

Something like patriots will do at Gate of Caernarfon Castle 0n 1 July 2009, maybe? whilst Cambria Mag Staff collect names for their Pathetic Petition along side of which shall be 'Swansea Jac' urging on the English and other tourists to sign the petition.

.

As I stood there taking it all in, to my amazement a group of Bank Workers began pasting up a roll of white wall paper on the beautiful marble tile exterior of the Bank. They then proceeded to spray pain 'Strike Slogans' on the wall paper, as I tried to do above but not so good as they. My trial runs proved I was no 'Banksi', sure I can use a can of spray paint doing a slogan on a wall but on a narrow run of wall paper, I was just making a mess of it. So I abandoned the can and took up the Paint Brush and Felt Tip Pen, OK! OK! it's not a great work of art, but it will do for the purpose I have in mind.

.

What's that? well I will keep you guessing and CADW of course, no doubt you will have guessed it has something to do with them, and you would be right. Whatever, like those Bank Workers of Cadiz, I will be using this same means so as not to damage any property and I guess the most I can be 'Done' for, will be 'trespass' or maybe 'disturbing the peace' but it will be worth it to make a point very publicly with some Adfywiad Gwladgarol Agit - Prop ''Guerrilla'' Pro Welsh Heritage and anti - Cerebral Colonialism Action, perhaps in front of 100's of people? Perhaps counting up to 1000's by end of the Tourism year 2009?

.

.

From ground zero, I have managed to move the O.S. and RCAHMW and CADW to a pro - Welsh Battle Field position, but I fear CADW is only being tokenistic and not up to speed. That is the same level of concern and action as English Heritage regards Preservation, Protection and Promotion of the English Battlefields. I also am also seeking to have CADW publicly state that they will produce a just as beautiful booklet and series of Leaflets on Welsh Battlefields as they have done with 'Landscape' and 'Townscape' Heritage.

.

Thus I'r Gad with my roll of wall paper, here, there and everywhere as and when I can make it to the battlements of this or that Castle in CADW's care, and I do not mind if other Patriots join in, or maybe do their own Campaign Banner with other Patriotic messages as example NO MORE INVESTITURES OF ENGLISH PRINCES OF WALES, far better than wasting your time with pathetic petitions or just parading about all the time.

.

So just hang in there, Part three on the way but it might take a week or a month to fulfill. I do have another life and at this age many happy and sad responsibilities, the politics must as often as not take second place but Cadw note, I am on my way.
