However, nothing is being done to mark 175th anniversary of the execution of Edward Morgan, we must not let the year 2010 pass without us remembering well the Tarw Scotch, their long struggle nor the brutal treatment of it's leaders and followers. I am thinking of a number of commemorative events and activities but I am somewhat over stretched with work at moment and will advance according to time and money I can spare on such initiatives. But note for sure I will be launching a Commemoration prompter statement soon to promote the launch of an Edward Morgan Posthumous Pardon Campaign some time in May, possibly May Day? if you want further information or, even want to aid and assist in anyway do get in touch asap. Not least with you own ideas which will be very welcome.

In association with the 1910 - 1911 Cambrian Colliery Lock Out and 1911 Llanelli Riots 2011 Commemorations note: Llanelli and Merthyr in 1911 were hot beds of radical left Anti - Investiture opposition, protest and campaigns, now making ready for 2011 and the 100th anniversary of the 1911 Investiture. I am proposing that there be held a radical left May Day Celebration in Llanelli 2011, perhaps organised by Calan Mai? Followed by an Anti - Monarchist Conference/Weekend School be held in Merthyr on and about mid July (Investiture 1911 was held in this period), but who will organise? Llafur maybe or perhaps the Dic Penderyn Society or? Whomsoever, let me know and I will help as and when I can.

I do not think the Nationalists are up for any protest campaigning against any 1911 celebrative events in Caernarfon. That's their problem, not least Gwladgarwyr Gwynedd. However, Welsh Republicans might arise by 2012 ready for some radical Anti - Diamond Jubilee campaigning as in 1977 but not so much in 2002 re Golden Jubilee Celebration. We shall see! but hopefully all Anti - Monarchists will fully participate one way or another, in which ever way best suits them and they feel compfortable with?
