( This is not an official press release but rather the personal observations of a Cymuned supporter ) There is still time for you to contact us if you have any comments about the first issue of our members Magazine, or a letter or article about things that are happening in Wales at the moment - eLCOs and European elections for instance. We would love your input into our magazine, so don't be shy! The North Wales People's Council will be sharing our stand in Bala, as they campaign against the plans to include great chunks of North Wales into a Greater Merseyside style economic area. I will write in greater depth about these plans in another email (Carrie and the NWPC are still trying to get answers and clarifications about some of the more controversial points.) But just a taster, apparently the difference of the culture of North Wales to the rest of the area was originally noted as a threat to the plan, though no solution to this threat was noted... Anyway, a member of the NWPC has recorded a song for YouTube opposing the plan. You can view it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gLrYDSTCSM You will remember the article that I quoted from the Times last month. We have received a number of emails from people who responded to the it, including one from Rob. Here are some excerpts: "Just a quick email to say that I found the above article very amusing.I bet you ... need to try and increase your populatrity by belittling a country like Wales in order to try and progress your career. Well done you. ... we live in a great diverse green island. It's due to people like you, that it will be a broken Kingdom sooner than later. Try not to choke on that cigaretter of yours (or that stinking London smog) for too long now eh..." We'd love to know if anyone gets any responses to their emails! And finally, the executive committee is meeting next Saturday, 4th July, so contact us with anything that you think should be discussed. Until next month, then!
