The Welsh Space Campaign

06/10/13 08:04:56PM, by Robert W. Allen

Posted today at Metafilter: The Welsh Space Campaign. The suit is made of the fabric woven in the last remaining wool mills in Wales. The astronaut boots are traditional Welsh clogs crafted by a traditional clog maker. The whole pressure system that will enable the astronaut to sustain life in outer space was built by a Welsh plumber . The aim of the designer is to reveal that Wales has the capacity to explore space, and to show that off-world culturalisation can be achieved...

The 1911 Welsh census

04/11/10 03:26:07PM, by Eilir Ann Daniels

I thought you'd like to seethe attached article, written by me in response to the publication of the 1911Welsh census.Many references to genealogical sources in Wales are usually based around themindset For Wales, see England. True, Wales has broadly followed the samemodel as England as far as official documents are concerned. However, thatmindset tends to disregard any particular Welsh issues that influence thecontent of historical documents. From years of helping people trace theirancestry...

Examples of Welsh Influence on America

08/06/08 10:55:46PM, by Ian Price

I'll start you all off.In 1826 a Welsh woman living in Wales called Felicia Dorothea Hemans came across an article - two years out of date - in a newspaper from Massachusetts. It had been used to wrap up some goods she'd purchased. The article concerned a founders' day celebration in Plymouth in which the Pilgrim Fathers and The Mayflower were mentioned. Inspired she took pen in hand and wrote a poem called ' The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers ( in New England ).This poem has given millions...

A Welsh Hard-Rock Mine

04/01/11 11:49:36PM, by Stephen Peter Lloyd Harvey

Silver-Lead Mining was once a major industry in Cardiganshire (Ceredigion) and Montgomeryshire. In 1860 there were over 100 mines in operation. The 1880's were unkind! Competition from Australia and Colorado wrecked the market. Many of our Welsh Miners emigrated to the Red Mountain Mining area of Colorado (San Juan Mountains) near Silverton. We have rescued a whole mine from obscurity and reconstructed it! Now I need to retire (it's taken 36 years to achieve) and we have looked at open...

I'm just trying to gauge whether there is a market for Welsh language t-shirts, hoodies or mugs in the USA and whether anyone can advise of a particular theme or subject that may promote some interest.  Many thanks, Diolch

The Welsh Highland Railway

02/09/11 12:55:42PM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

Anyone visiting Wales this year might like to add the Welsh Highland Railway to their itinerary. It's a 25 mile journey from Caernarfon via Beddgelert (readers of The Carmarthen Underground might glimpse the tea plantations there!). Eventually, it will terminate at Porthmadog but even without that it promises to be a spectacular journey. Information can be found on the Festrail website.

I have been around the Welsh community most of my life but have never learned to speak the language. Has anyone checked out Rosetta Stone for Welsh? I am pondering learning the language as a New Year resolution.

Welsh Space Agency Calendar

12/21/11 08:29:39PM, by Dilwyn Griffiths

We may well have forgotten about our man out there in the icy depths of space. But we haven't forgotten to produce an all new 2012 Welsh Space Agency Calendar. And unlike some other lesser space agencies we could name ourone's completely for free. Just click http://www.welshspaceagency.org/ <- there and download yourself one. Some self assembly may be required. Ask mummy or daddy (mom and pop in the US) to weld it together for you. That's right we don't ask for any money. But if...

Welsh referendum March the 3d

03/02/11 02:01:05AM, by TARW DU

This Thursday March the 3d 2011 is a Welsh referendum day on more efficient lawmaking powers for the National Assembly of Wales. This is the only chance in a generation to say yes to a Wales that can pass laws in the already devolved areas without having to go begging for permission like vagabonds to the Government in London . It is basic common sense that will save Wales time and money whilst giving us greater efficiency and self respect. A yes vote would give Wales...
