We are also looking at organising a series of readings in libraries and colleges for our visiting authors. Other events to be announced as plans mature but we are not planning anything else on the night of Thursday the 7th.

Ceri,

Will there be any other activities occurring at the same time?

I should add that we are strongly advising people to buy tickets in advance when they become available. The venue's maximum capacity is 125 and we will be promoting the event heavily for the next six months. Tickets will be available at the Brown Paper Tickets site or directly from Americymru when they go on sale this weekend.

Beginning here in Americymru, maybe we could create Welsh Heritage Societies for some nearby states and provinces? I am thinking of Alaska, Alberta, British Columbia, Idaho, Washington, California, and Nevada? That would be a good beginning IMHO. Anyone else? Well, that is up to you all, eh?

We should be making some announcements about the LCE later today or tomorrow.

I'll be attending the 2010 LCE Eisteddfod and, hopefully, more functions in the future. It would be fun to get to know some Oregonians on this site beforehand.

Oregon Member join in and let's get acquainted
