THERE ARE NEW STRUGGLES TO FIGHT AND TO WIN - To Remember Must Be To Enspire and Not Lead to Self Satisfaction that may Breed Apathy & Laziness!

Gethin.
I had gone west over the weekend to stay with a compatriot and to carry out some I'r Gad Welsh Battlefield Campaign Action. However, on Friday afternoon I received message that old comrade Glyn Rowlands had taken for the worse and was in Bronglais hospital in Aberystwyth. Thus my plans for Friday were put aside, and after staying the evening has planned with fellow compatriot, on Saturday Morning I made my way to see Glyn, I was most fortunate to see him as within a short time he had died. Please note I shall be placing a full tribute to Glyn on my Welsh Remembrancer blog, at moment I am awaiting fotos to be sent me, before I can make start on such.

I was actually parked up by the Cofiwch Dryweryn slogan setting up to take these fotos here when I received phone call to tell me of the sad news. News which after time for reflection moved me to continue what I had set out to do this weekend past, and thus these fotos are not just of my campaign but in tribute to my old comrade and Friend of many years. Respectfully and reminding all fellow Patriots that Glyn Rowlands was surely an Adfywiadwr Gwladgarol, and would have wanted me to continue this and other 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' campaigns.

So, I'r GAD!

On Sunday, I made my way to Castell Newydd Emlyn with every intention of protest picketing the entrance to the Castle. However, it was raining and as I set up my Picket Post only one tourist turned up, so there was little point in hanging around and getting soaked. So some Agit Prop Fotos were taken to illustrate the campaign, in the hope that other Patriots will be inspired to go into some I'r Gad Action in their locality? Rather, than just join phantom societies and do little other than attend talking shops when what they need to be doing now is carrying out action to put pressure on Cadw and WAG's Minister of Heritage asap before his September 'Heritage Statement'.

In fotos below I reveal my ''Secret Weapon'' (no wise cracks ok!), see I'r Gad blog for further information.

But not with intention of using it on this Castle, no I am saving this as maybe a Birthday Present for Cadw (see previous post) at their October 25 Anniversary 'Birthday Bash'. Meanwhile the Welsh Battlefield Campaign will continue but due to the fact that it is a one man show with only my own money to fund, it is very much a matter of action only being carried out if I am going near a Castle anyway. Of course if others joined in as 'Autonomous Activists' it might bring victory closer much faster. By October at least, if not sooner in September?, c'mon Cymry join in, I want to bring this campaign to a conclussion before i get too obsessive!!!
