I guess everyone who has been following our progress is aware by now that we have achieved our funding goal with the Kickstart appeal. This is an important milestone in the development of our program for this years West Coast Eisteddfod and I want to take this opportunity on behalf of AmeriCymru and A Raven Above Press to thank you all for your generous support.

We will be making many further announcements as we develop the schedule for this years event and we are acutely conscious that none of our plans would be realisable without your donations. A thousand diolch's to everyone who contributed . We remain committed to bringing you the best possible event in September and we will be announcing other ways in which our supporters can assist us with that as we move nearer to the date.

We will be distributing complimentary tickets for Eisteddfod donors in the coming weeks. Please check your inbox for details.

Diolch yn Fawr Ceri Shaw ( AmeriCymru ) Lorin Morgan-Richards ( A Raven Above Press )
