Cambria Magazine latest issue out now!
.
EDITOR'S LETTER
The last three years have started on low notes, the deaths of Hywel Teifi and Rhobert ap Steffan (both fervent supporters) and, insignificant in comparison but nonetheless depressing, the future of Waless only National magazine looked particularly bleak.
The determination to plough on was only made possible because of the wonderful support, loyalty, faith and not least patience vested in us by you the readers and our contributors.
However, 2013 heralds a new era for us, and the future looks far brighter and more certain than it has done for a long time. We are entering a collaborative partnership with the University of Wales: Trinity St. David, effective from March. Cambria will move on campus, the University are providing a home with the back-up of its infra-structure; the magazine will remain wholly independent as always but supported.
We look forward to being part of, and contributing to, the vision articulated by the inspirational Vice Chancellor, Medwin Hughes, which has created such a feeling of dynamism and renewal over recent years. His belief in Waless institutions in driving change resonates well beyond the world of academia. His passion is welcome in a world so often dulled by corporate blandness. Wales desperately needs such men.
Cambria is proud to become part of the family. As you will see from the article by the Vice Chancellor in the magazine we have many shared beliefs, the ethos of Cambria and our coverage of heritage and arts and current affairs fits immaculately well with the plans of the University. Together we hope to build on these, to our mutual benefit but above all to that of Wales. As Goethe observed, new beginnings have great energy and power.
We are looking forward to a new era for Cambria , a time of growth and development as we continue in our evolution. We will continue to shamelessly promote our national interests, our achievements and our aspirations and will strive to entertain, inform and be thought provoking.
Last autumn saw our fifteenth anniversary, and this is our 73rd issue, many of you I know have every one! Who knows what the future holds, but hand in hand with it I know we will continue to have the strength of your support.
Cambria ! Ymlaen!
Frances Jones-Davies, Editor

Celebrate St. Davids Day!
The St Davids Day annual parade in Cardiff will muster from 11.30am for a 12.30pm start, at the Civic Hall and follow the usual route to The Hayes. This year amongst the many will be a posse of Patagonians.
Parades will also be taking place in Colwyn Bay and Wrexham where The Cambria Band will again be a great attraction. Details for these can be found in your local papers or websites.
Support your local parade, a great day out and a visible way of registering the desire to have it made a National Holiday!
