01/10/10 04:25:00PM, by DaveLewis

The new international competition is now open folks - http://www.welshpoetry.co.uk and we are keen to get many more US writers onboard as we know many people there write great poetry. Based in Pontypridd we are in our 4th year now and need help promoting the competition further afield as we do not get any grants or bursaries from the Arts Council or Academi and we rely purely on entry fees to keep going. Please pass on to anyone who might be interested.Diolch yn...

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 However, thatmindset tends to disregard any particular Welsh issues that influence thecontent of historical documents.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...

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.

Welsh in the Klondike, 1890s

12/29/10 10:00:37AM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

I'm reading that fine organ The South Wales Echo on the train. Anyone whose antecedents were gold miners in the Klondike might like to log on to Walesonline.co.uk for the letters page (called Viewpoints). Gareth Roberts of Deiniolen, Caernarfon, is seeking information about Welsh people who went to the Klondike in the 1890s as he intends to retrace the journey made by these people and record it in various forms. His e-mail address is garmel@fsmail.net.

I'm sure most AC members already know about this so I posted it for newbies. This is a good supplement for beginning Welsh learners. Includes North and South Walian dialects. It's interactive and works best with FLASH but there's a scaled down version for Apple users: Free from the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/learnwelsh/bigwelshchallenge/

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...

What does it mean to be Welsh?

03/04/13 12:07:56PM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

On Friday, 1st March, in the Western Mail, there was a feature by Abbie Wightwick (English/Irish) on what it means to be Welsh in 2013.

(1) Vimla Patel, Chair of the Hindu Council of Wales, said that she arrived in...

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...
