Please note:
I am withdrawing my support from that body known as
Cymdeithas y Tywysogion Cymru run out of the 'stable' of David Hayes along with a number of Fantasy Fringe Fusilier Facebooks as to name but a few Cymru 1400, Fe Godwn Ni Eto and Eryr Wen, the recent addition to which is another 'Face Book' this time to promote his Rali Cofiwch Tryweryn later this month? Whatever, I am of a number of views and oppinions on all this of which you will be informed of in another my blogs in due course, suffice to say for now that Hayes is not urgently serious enough about his supposedly 'Medieval Interest'. Other than organising a bus to Rali Cilmeri, that's enough for me to know that forget it 'Hayes' get on with your 'FFFF's' and please leave the real pressing asap 'Medieval Initiatives' to those who have a very real Patriotic purposeful useful interest in such.
So out with CyTC and in with CYMDEITHAS TEYRNASOEDD CYMRU - Welsh Royal Kingdoms and Medieval Living History Society, make this comprise of 'Autonomous' and 'Regional' Societies based on the medieval Teyrnasoedd/Gwledydd of Wales. Then just get on with it, that simple but most importantly do so in haste as there is much of urgency to do, not least that matter concerning Cadw's Tourism Initiatives, use them to our/your advantage not English Consultants, English Medieval Management Companies and Reenactment Groups nor our own 'Cultural Crachach' who have had little interest in promoting Welsh History with Commemorations or memorial work, usually they only do it for money now you do the same ok! Yes! go GRAB GRANTS! and do so in haste before all the money has gone and perhaps filling undeserving pockets. See links to Cadw Initiatives in this blog, do not be fools to yourselves or foolish to real patriotic Welsh Interests, not now we can illaford to be stupid and silly as to pointlessly parade and puff at Rali Cilmeri, you know nothing has come of such for at least a decade and I doubt now if it ever will!
If you have any doubt as to why you should not go get grants than for starters go find out how much the Cadw consultant have been getting, you will vomit! So please forget the futiulities of the likes of 'Hayes FFFF Honchos' and such as Rali Cilmeri, that's long ago reached it's 'Use by Date'. Might be more worth while if the more serious minded just did a central Cymru field trip in December to Abewredw/Ogof Llywelyn, Llanganten Hills, Bont Irfon, Abaty Cwm Hir and not least Prysgduon. However, the absolute total asap patriotic priority is now for patriots to establish their own Cymdeithasau: 'Teyrnas Gwynedd', 'Teyrnas Powys', 'Teyrnas Dehuebarth', and 'Teyrnas Glywysing'.This is not too difficult and it is the future! You cannot waiting for the likes of Hayes to have you 'click' your name here and there on his 'Face Book' as to which King/Prince or Battle you prefer. No can you aford any more time for National Meetings, too costly hence, no can you wait on a 'body' that might be led by those of no idea! or secret agenda of self or political interests? Relie on yourselves, your own council and judgements but do it, get the job done, the time for playing Patriot Games is over fin! instead deal with some reality not run from it!
Go 'Regional' and get the job done, there is much to do and for starters read this blog for ideas and Initiatives, then start to read the follwing Wikipedia Information and following books:

Not least then consider the below:
WANTED PATRIOTIC WELSH WARRIORS FOR BYDDIN BRENHINOL CYMRU Medieval Welsh History Reenactment Societies.
.
Don't worry nothing to do with protesting! (Well not until end of this post, so just enjoy some completly 'off the wall' stuff!) But plenty of opportunity for Parading, Posing and Posturing, plus lots of 'Fake Fighting' pretending to defend Cymru and liberate land and people from the English 'Conquistadors' and Colonists. Got that! then this should really interest you and if serious about the reality of working for the Cause of Wales. First get the book:

If you are rich enough buy it, but it is rather expensive so go borrow it from your local Library. It really is a very good read and will provide an excellent manual for setting up the Institutions of a Medieval Welsh Royal Army. It will be quite permissible for you to set up such based on ancient Welsh Territorial divisions as Gwledydd, Talaithiau, Cantref and Cymydau. Note that the name 'Byddin Brenhinol Cymru' is an overall name for what will consist of a number of Welsh Medieval Military Institutions as described in book above also noting the period being covered is from 1063 the age of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn to 1294 the age of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. Such would in time become the national platform and umbrella, for this period. This is not to be confused with 'Cymdeithas Teyrnasoedd Cymru' which is an history body whilst 'Byddin Brenhinol Cymru' is a Welsh Medieval Reenactment Initiative.
So, what you waiting for get on with it asap! Maybe you will then be able to make an appearence at Caerffili Big Cheese and Bodwyddelan Mediaval Festivals, see links below as to an English Example>
