Cambria
General Discussions ( Anything Goes )
Dear Friends of Wales
Ceri, we must help Cambria through your pages. We just have to reach as many people as possible and get out the word that they need to support Wales's premier magazine. I consider this of paramount importance. I'm sure you'll agree. Perhaps we can, as Welsh Americans, petition the els books Council. This is what I sent to WBC
upon my learning that they are withdrawing their funding of Cambria.
Hi Lucy, I am editor of The Eagle and the Dragon, the quarterly publication of the National American Welsh Foundation, of which I am also a Board member. We are all deeply disturbed at the WBC's withdrawal of financial support for the Cambria. The Cambria has been earning a tremendous, enviable reputation as "the" magazine of Wales. Before its advent, overseas Welsh had to rely on what were nothing more than travel magazines. so this is one more nail in the coffin of Wales and one more chipping away at whatever national reputation the "hen wlad" has been earning since devolution. Perhaps you could enlighten me on the reasons for the withdrawal of funding. Do I simply put it as an austerity measure by the Welsh Assembly in the time of recession?? Sincerely, yn ddiffuant, Peter N. Williams, Ph.D. Newark, De. USA
