CILMERI 2009 Remembering Glyn Rowlands, there at the beginning! and remembered at the end! ADFYWIAD CILMERI? ADFYWIAD CYMRU?

Whatever, I shall be holding a private ceremony in tribute to Glyn Rowlands at the Cilmeri Cenotaph at 12 noon on Saturday 12 Rhagfyr 2009, by invitation only and on request. This ceremony will be followed by an Adfywiad Cilmeri 'The End' Commemoration to celebrate the 40th Anniversary Rali Cilmeri'69, which marked conclusion of the ''Sixties'' Adfywiad Gwladgarol. It was also the Rali Cilmeri which welcomed the release from imprisonment of FWA Commandants Cayo and Coslet, I by then had gone into my two years of ''Irish Exile''. After failure of Rali Cilmeri Organisers last year to live up to the radical nationalist spirit of Rali Cilmeri 1968, a platform from which to call for patriotic anti - Investiture protests and demonstrations in Caernarfon on Investiture day. Rali Cilmeri'08 witnessed no patriotic call for radical nationalist action to mark 40th anniversary of the 1969 Investiture of an Englishman as Prince of Wales.
.
As for example a call to 'Storm Caernarfon Castle and Close it Down', no for sure organisers of last years Rali Cilmeri'08 were content to be passive patriots and sign 'Cambria Mugs' petition, and think only of more Dewi Day'09 parading in Caerdydd than getting of the fence and going into action as Balchder Cymru members did on 1 July 2009. Yes! pretty pathetic and so, there is no way I can leave Rali Cilmeri'09 totally in the hands of the ''Cambrianistas'', ''Good Ole Boys'' and ''Renegade Republicans'' and other assorted fence sitters as ''Devolution Dilettantes'' and Plaid Pacifists.
.
So make a note in your patriotic diary of above, and note that the above has nothing to do with any other commemorative event that may take place on that day at Cilmeri. Those who remain loyal to the 'Covenant of Cilmeri' but do not wish to attend any of the above Commemorations, that of Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol or the ''Sell Outs'' would better spending their time raising up Patriotic Flags at Rhosferig and later place Ivy Tributes at Site of the Massacre of Irfon Bridge, near Builth Wells Golf Course, as well why not visit Builth Castle and complete your day out at Aberedw or Abaty Cwm Hir.
.
Far better patriotic alternative to associating with the 'Cowards of Cilmeri' who no longer deserve the proud name of Y CILMERIAID, unless of course you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the committed and couragous Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol. Which I am afraid will be a short lived experience as I have a belief, that this is it!, this Rali Cilmeri'09 will be 'THE END' of much, the Dream of Freedom, as we of the ''Sixties'' knew it is more or less dieing on it's knees, sad to say! This, anyway is certainly my last Rali Cilmeri, I certainly do not intend to be a ''last man standing'' in a cause that is more and more patriotically pointless, and a struggle that is no more than a shamefull sham with out any true patriotic purpose and direction other than being misled up blind allyways.
