Above offers us great potential for a massive all Cymru/Wales gathering of Anti - Wind Farm Protesters outside picketing the meeting at the Grand Hotel Swansea also peacefully protesting within. Followed by an Anti - Wind farm Protest Motorcade trailing the Windmill Masters and Tan 8 Traitors to Mynydd y Betws to follow they around continuing to protest. We could then conclude with a Rally at the Battle of Stryveland 'Trig' Dedication on Mynydd y Betws. .
Concluding with socialising at mountain Tafarn near by but first visit Penllegaer Castle and see close by site of the coming battle against a Wind farm being established on Mynydd y Gwair, see link >
Lets make this an All Wales protest, putting 'nimbyism' aside, united we stand and divided we fall, an huge show of opposition and our strength will send out a message far and wide beyond the borders of our own Country to all Wind Mill Masters and our own Tan 8 Traitors. Thus far no further, fin! So, start organising to attend and prepare loads of Placards and Posters, Flags and Banners. Now spread the word, this time we will make it really happen on Mynydd y Betws and from here we shall be making way towards a more successful campaign on Mynydd y Gwair. Let this gathering on the 9 Mis Medi be as great as the Anti - Windmill Protest on Vinegar Hill in Ireland.
C'mon Lets Do It?
To remind Information on our campaign against the Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm may be seen in links below >
Any useful protest Ideas?
Gethin.
