BATTLE OF GROGEN 1165 - A GREAT HISTORY INITIATIVE TO BE AWARE OF TO INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE OTHERS TO DO SIMILAR WITH THEIR LOCAL BATTLE SITE.

    Sian and I did research on ground re an intended Cofiwn project, the fotos of our outing to this site area are in our archive will post up when I have time. This was some many years ago and we never did get around to doing anything about it but now someone as and they have done a great job of it.
     
    An Example, a good example of how to go about doing a good job of promoting Welsh History and information on Welsh Battle sites. This Crogen Initiative really deserves our thanks and appreciation, now why don't other go and do the same in their community, go on do it, yes? All the information you need as to Battle Sites and what to do is contained in this blog, so this is a good kick start, take full awareness and motivation from I'r Gad WBfC and inspiration from the brilliant Crogen Initiative. If I can be of further assistance do get in touch at g.apgruffydd@ntlworld.com

    C'mon patriots let us see some action, do note we do not just sit around blogging, we are active on a number of fronts as political activists, defenders of our heritage of Landscape and otherwise? Keep eye on Embassy Glyndwr blogs for information of an exciting new Hanes Glyndwr exhibition and not least news of launch of G660 Commemorative Initiative?
