Statement:
.
Two reasons motivating the below programme:
.
1: If we are to accept and promote fully the patriotic historically correct account of the events of the 11 Rhagfyr 1282 then surely we must focus our priority and greatest attention on Aberedw and not Cilmeri.
.
2: However, a tradition has grown up around Cilmeri since an annual Patriotic Rally was founded there in 1966, founded I may add with a radical political nationalist agenda and purpose. Although Cofiwn and later the Abaty Cwm Hir Heritage Trust sought to tone the politics down in favour of historical commemoration, there has always been place for ''Patriotic Politics''. However, in recent years this has led to there arising conflict between so called ''Moderates'' and ''Militants'' coming to an head in 2004, see link below:

Statement Continued: Taking into consideration 1: above and realisation that the Cilmeri Rally will always have an ''Extremist Edge'' plus must carry on the tradition of being the font and focus of continued Cymric Resistance to English Pretenders being foisted upon us as 'English Princes of Wales'. In regards to this we should note that 2009 will mark the 40th anniversary of the Investiture in 1969 of Carlo as ''Prince of Wales'' also 1969 was the year in which took place the PF/FWA trial in Abertawe of Anti - Investiture Activists. Thus I would agree with radical patriotic sentiments that seek to make of the 2009 Cilmeri Rally one that has themes to mark this anniversary as well as be a reminder to the English Crown who would claim sovereignty over our homeland, that our Cymric Resistance to a Foreign Monarchy will continue in opposition to any future Investiture and that the annual Cilmeri rally will continue to serve this great Patriotic Purpose.
.
* Taking all above into account, realising that many patriots, not least those with children may not wished to be involved in a Cilmeri Commemoration which is also a radical rebel rally. Thus I have arrived at the below alternative, in main to promote the Aberedw historical truth of 1282 whilst Cilmeri Commemoration contains another historical truth, the truth of 1969 which gives it another patriotic purpose other than one of commemoration of 1282 - Which would be better served in recognition of Aberedw and not Cilmeri as true location of the murder of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. It would however be perverse to organise a counter commemoration to the one held at Cilmeri annually since 1966, thus the below programme should be seen as an option to be involved in, perhaps alternatively with the Cilmeri Commemoration. My main purpose, is to promote what I had not done in the past, much due to my own ignorence of the historical truth of Aberedw and the ''English'' inspired false history of Cefn y Bedd/Cilmeri. One can read more of this historical truth in the writings of Anthony H. Edwards (his works are listed in blogs noted below) but please remember that the truth will be better appreciated if one actually walk the landscape of the sad events of 10, 11 & 12 Rhagfyr 1282.

Local Cofia 1282 Events and Activities.
If you cannot make Aberedw or Cilmeri commemorations and any way, as 11 Rhagfyr this year is a week day, you might wish to organise local community events and activities. why not set up 1282 exhibitions in your local library or community centre, of course encourage schools to do something appropriate. Organise commemorative Cofia 1282 Dinners or Cultural Evenings, set up local Cofia 1282 Remembrance Cross ''Gardens'' (as in picture of such at Cilmeri) or if you want to make a protest, lay bunches of Ivy on the doorstep of your local Authority or whatever (Tourism Information Offices etc), as I did on steps leading into the Assembly of Appeasement with English Imperialism and Colonialism.
