COMMEMORATING THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE 1400 - 1416 - 1421 - 1485. Information given here is not complete, for that visit Cefn Caer Exhibition and/or buy Terry Breverton's Book Owain Glyndwr from Embassy Glyndwr.



The below provides good information as to the areas of Hanes Glyndwr you might wish to commemorate and celebrate over the coming years of G660 - 2014 to 2016 and beyond. Such may be organised in a number of ways as Enthusiasts Field Trips and Patriotic Rallies also other local community Gwaith Glyndwr as Exhibitions in local  Libraries and community centres, setting up plaques, creating Glyndwr trails and adopting Brwydrau Glyndwr Battle Sites and campaign for them to be taken care of by local authorities and recognised by CADW with a special Golden Dragon Plaque. See below Hanes Glyndwr Battle Site Initiative.






Sian Ifan of Embassy Glyndwr launches her excellent Hanes Glyndwr exhibition at Cefn Caer Haf 2013.



 Hanes Glyndwr Battle Site Initiative.

Don't wait for local Authorities to get the job done, you can make a start and go set up plaques regards your local adopted Battle Site as follows, see below: Down load foto of Battle Site Plaque Blank 6 X 4 foto size, add name of Battle site and photo copy enlarge to A4 Size, laminate and attach to slightly larger wood/HB panel and set up where best suited. Otherwise add and arrow and use also as a direction finder for others to locate battle site. So as this work is not duplicated, get in touch and we can inform if a Battle site as been adopted already or not. At least make this your contribution to G660 Commemorative program.




Useful to this will be my Brwydrau Glyndwr and I'r Gad Welsh Battlefield Campaign Blogs:

DYDD GLYNDWR 16 MEDI NATIONAL HERO DAY 2013 - LETS SHOW WE CARE - UP WITH BANERI GLYNDWR FROM CEFN DU ACROSS TO EVERY CORNER OF CYMRU. (Terry Breverton Owain Glyndwr Book available at a Dydd Glyndwr discount, details within)



                     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tuj1Pbj6RPs

Please send us your Baneri Glyndwr fotos.

Recently did a trip North and seen few Baneri Glyndwr flyiing and none at all in Caernarfon, there it was all 'Tudor Rags' to show the Town as truly Cambro Brit Loyal to the English Crown:
So, had to make a point of showing Baner Glyndwr over Yr Maes.
Hopefully by next year and thru to 2015, 2016 and beyond we will start to see much more of Baneri Glyndwr in Caernarfon and elsewhere.
Plus on 2 Tachwedd annually lets see Y Draig Aur raised high on Twt Hill again as raised in 1401 in challenge to English Rule.

of Glyndŵr's Banner; Golden dragon flag (Baner Y Ddraig Aur) .....battle flag, on Twt hill overlooking Caernarfon Castle on 2 November 1401.

Returning South, great to see that the Braich Goch Bunk House was flying Baner Glyndwr.


Now have you ordered a new large size Baner Glyndwr yet? If not do so in readiness for G660 - 2014. See previous posts for information and also note, now available at discounted half price Terry Breverton's excellent Glyndwr History:



Originally £15.99 now reduced to £8.00 plus £2:00 P&P total £10:00 may be ordered from Sian Ifan at sifl@hotmail.co.uk or phone 07772321511.

LOOKING AHEAD SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME, MAYBE BUT THAT DEPENDS ON POBL GLYNDWR COMMITTING TO GWAITH FAWR GLYNDWR ASAP BUT FIRST THIS COMING 16 MEDI 'DYDD GLYNDWR' NATIONAL COMMEMORATION AND COMMUNITY CELEBRATIONS - ARE YOU GETTING READY?


This will help promote:

Focus this Autumn needs to be on the Communities and using the 'National Hero' celebrations as a ways and means of establishing 'autonomous' locally based 'Glyndwr Communities' as the platforms for furthering G660 - 2014 Commemoration next year and into 2015 and 2016 also of course there after to 2021 big time! By which time surely all our people will be aware of Hanes Glyndwr and this history will be more acceptable to it's teaching in the Schools of Cymru/Wales. Not least our local Authorities will be as willing to support and further 16 Medi as out 'National Hero' day as they do 'Holocaust Day' and 'Black History Month' but not so 'Dydd Glyndwr' in the same official fulsome way. To this end Patriots must put shoulder to the wheel, half measures are not good enough when we are really up against it as patriotic apathy and a fading away of an interest in getting much done in an 'Ysbryd Cofiwn' way. I put this down to Devolution Dilettantism and fb laziness, if you have read my political blogs you will know what and whom I am talking about and face reality it is pathetic out there. If there is one or rather two things that drives me crazy it is calls to Remember Tryweryn and Remember Cilmeri, in my time back in the day these were calls and gatherings became platforms from which to launch patriotic campaigns not there for an annual 'Cilmeri Crew' to fool themselves as to their non patriotic importance. Thus here's the way you can help change that but note Pobl Glyndwr will be greatly on their own, do not expect much from our 'Welsh Establishments' and 'Old Boys/Girls Clubs' out there, nor the Literary and Arts Crowd surviving on 'Saxon Silver' scared of putting themselves out of pocket. So, what chance such as a Theatre Glyndwr?

I suspect more chance with Teyrnas Glyndwr, not least if certain 'younger generation' post 1982 patriots pack in their fb play station patriotic fringe acting out fantasies as Welsh 'Nappy Rash Warriors' and came down to Terra Firma and actually done some thing useful to serve Achos Glyndwr as hoped for with our Llysgenhadaeth Living History Initiative:


Welsh Medieval History Reenactment Societies are certainly not Nationalist  supporters and their Welsh Patriotism wears thin and thus lets not expect they to be over overwhelmingly supportive or seeking to be involved in G660 - 2014 and beyond. Thus we got to do it ourselves and that will be far more interesting than wasting time on fb and without doubt a magnificent contribution to Achos Glyndwr but not only an hobby you could make it pay. Useful to assist in getting you there is such as the below:


All this can cross over into a Theatr Glyndwr as Living History presentations, a great prt of G660 - 2014 and beyond will be in above areas of a positive Gwaith Glyndwr. Patriotic Rallies, there shall be, but we are not putting too much emphasis on they as our objective is to reach the people, enthuse and excite them to be involved within their own local 'Glyndwr Communities' in a number of ways to their own, family and greater community advantage.

                     PATRIOTIC POBL GLYNDWR GATHERINGS.

Summer 21 Mehefin Machynlleth and Autumn 24 Medi Vyrnwy also in consideration Gwyl Haf Glyndwr - Ystrad Tywy and Bryn Owain - Stalling Down Battle Site. Tachwedd 2 Caernarfon Gwyl y Ddraig Aur and in 2015 a major commemoration of the Battle of Graig y Dorth followed up with a march through Monmouth Town to make the Point Owain Glyndwr is our Prince of Cenedl Cymru Rydd and not Henry V an English Prince for Wales.

AZINCOURT THE TRUTH NOT THE CAMBRO BRIT TAFFY PROPAGANDA WHICH TAFFIES DOWN THROU THE AGES HAVE BEEN SUCKERS FOR AND WILL NO DOUBT BE AGAIN BIG TIME IN 2015 UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, YES? SO, PAY ATTENTION TO THE BELOW PLEASE:
http://www.agincourt.soton.ac.uk/blog/2013/03/for-i-am-welsh-you-know-welshmen-myth-and-reality-at-agincourt/
Fancy a trip to France to fight with the French at Azincourt, then join the Henry Gwyn 'Gwerin Owain Free Company':


Remember in 2015 if CADW or Welsh Theatre seeks to commemorate Azincourt with stuffing Shakespeare down our Throats then that will be a 'Trash It' campaign, go get ok!


COMMEMORATING GLYNDWR BATTLES.

In main best treated as 'Glyndwr Community' activities as adopting Battle Sites as part of the registration campaign (see I'r Gad Welsh Battle Site Campaign blog) or in the organising of Field Trips or site visits as a day out. In some instances as Brwydr Graig y Dorth 1404. 

http://brwydrauglyndwr.blogspot.co.uk/2008_03_01_archive.html
That is a brief insight as to what we want to get up and running but it is only possible with a lot of Pobl Glyndwr aid and assistance, yes? Further Info and details in due course, leaving you know with the call to commemorate rising up of Y Ddraig Aur on Twt Hill, Caernarfon to mark event of 2 Tachwedd 1400:


 Much more in due course, revisiting 14 years of Gwaith Glyndwr by Embassy Glyndwr, over coming years we hope to focus more on producing books, DVD's and YT Films.

MAB DAROGAN: THE PROPHECY OF OWAIN GLYNDWR - THE PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE PRINCE OF WALES - TYWYSOG CYMRU OWAIN IV.


FACES OF FUTURE

 PROPHECY

…. It was told to many a child that when the great Prince Owain was born that he did start to cry and would not be quiet, until his father had allowed the young babes hand to touch the hilt of his sword. It was also told that when the Prince Owain was born that in his father’s stable the horses did go wild and stamp in their stalls until their fetlocks bled. It was further told that on the night of Prince Owain's birth there were great storms, the flash of lightening and the crash of thunder and the rivers did, in torrents, flood their banks. It was also much whispered that in the skies to the East a fiery comet was seen to streak the heavens - and far away, in the halls of the English kings at Westminster, four little bells, all of their own accord, did start to ring, ring, ring and ring - much to the disdain and fear of the English Courtiers who, one day, would contemptuously refer to Prince Owain as the one who led the “Bare foot Welsh Doggis”, words, we are sure, they came to regret using in such rash haste. Thus, such things are the stuff of myth and legend born....

GLYNDWR 660: POBL GLYNDWR LET US NOT STAND ON CEREMONY - DO YOU WANT A REALLY GREAT SUCCESSFUL THREE YEAR COMMEMORATION AND CELEBRATION ACROSS THE LAND - THEN IF SO AWAKE, ARISE and ADVANCE WITH SOME EFFORT, ENTHUSIASM and ENDURANCE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN - This Means Lots of Gwaith Glyndwr - See Below as an Inspirational and Motivating Guide - YMLAEN!.


YMGYRCH BANERI GLYNDWR


Is The First Priority.


The new flags are also ideal for flag poles but also may be used as two pole banners for commemorative parades and campaign protest pickets and marches.


Over the three years ahead much in way of Souvenirs and Ephemera will be produced and made available as in 2004, these will be in association with companies who will give some financial support to Embassy Glyndwr and the G660  three year Commemoration 2014 - 2015 - 2016. Have no truck with 'Outlawed' Opportunists and Dilettantes associated with so the called patriotism of fb fantasy fusiliers of a pointless 'Patriotic Fringe' that has no great purpose other than self advancing their own egos and an 'Immature Adventurism' to serve their own doubtful motives.


Now Pobl Glyndwr Forward in this, your commemoration, celebration and campaign which will become the Patriotic Platform upon which a great Mudiad Cenedl Glyndwr - Cenedl Cymru Rydd shall be established seeking the restoration of Senedd Glyndwr Machynleth by 2021 latest. To help get us there it is imortant we embark on YMGYRCH SOFRANIAETH asap >



Unfortunately, Canolfan Glyndwr Machynlleth is in a state of near total collapse, matters made worse that despite all the work and efforts of Embassy Glyndwr and pobl Glyndwr to put Machynlleth at centre of annual Glyndwr Commemoration they have failed and now exist in dangerous doldrums. It looks to be unlikely that they will get any act together to save the day and thus Pobl Glyndwr with other patriots must now rally around to restore and re-establish Machynlleth as the major annual national commemoration on and around 21 Mehefin. Now, again I say do not wait on ceremony just focus towards Machynlleth and doing what you can to get the job done, look back to what was done in 2004 and later to provide inspiration and motivation. Embassy Glyndwr will put forward further information and advice and will in time organise a meeting of those who want to be involved in this great national effort and enterprise to coordinate final promotional plans and organisational requirements. YMLAEN GLYNDWR >

The Pennal event referred to above has been successfully carried out with the setting up of a new Hanes Glyndwr exhibition at Cefn Caer. 

ANTURIAETHAU GLYNDWR INITIATIVES
The Bala event we are considering is as much a Teyrnas Glyndwr - Living History Society event, this will include a major Glyndwr procession through Bala and also a Theatr Glyndwr event of some scale. Thus if you have talents and skills in these areas and would like to participate it what we see as could be an incredible experience, then do get in touch ASAP. Further note, the Monmouth event will focus again on a major Glyndwr Procession plus potential contributions by a Teyrnas Glyndwr and Theatr Glyndwr contribution. This will not be the end of it and all we shall attempt to promote regards Commemoration and Celebration, much more is being considered but to make it truly work big time we are going to need Regional Glyndwr Commissioners and local Glyndwr Community organisers. so get in touch if you want to be involved in this great work.


TARIAN GLYNDŴR



**************
ATTENTION

We take no great joy in having to say this or make it public but it is necessary we do so if the above is to succeed with out opportunists and dilettantes distracting and diverting effort away from good practical patriotic purpose. We would prefer it if such fb 'Groups' as Balchder Cymru of Adam Phillips, Paul Edwards and Russell G. Morris and a 'Plaid Glyndwr' an idea hi - jacked from Embassy Glyndwr by Denis 'Moz' Morris have no involvement or association with G660 and it's Achos Glyndwr endeavors  Unfortunately  this includes Cambria Band due to it's associations with these 'Outlawed' bodies. We do not intend to extend this ban to other persons so associated unless forced to do so and. We welcome their participation in positive ways as via Commemorative work and possibly with Tarian Glyndwr, Theatr Glyndwr and Teyrnas Glyndwr - Living History Society in particular:

TEYRNAS GLYNDWR - Glyndwr's Kingdom.
