A 'People's Allotment' began upon the Mynydd y Betws Windmill Plantation, an Apple Sapling was planted as well a Raspberry Bush. Further such will be established in time on as many Windmill Plantations as Possible, the English Crown Estates proposed WMP's first and foremost in mind as a major campaign of Symbolic Repossession - 'ADFEDDIANT!' promoted by CYMRWCH Y TIR YN OL - Land and Liberty - Wales Land Act Struggle!
The below 'People's Allotment' was sponsored and established by Balchder Cymru - Welsh Political Consciousness Movement. It is hoped other groups, bodies and Societies will support this 'Peoples Allotment' campaign and not wait on going ahead in their own time and in own way to do the same. Please inform us if you do, when and where and send photos too thank you. Gethin ap Gruffydd.

The following is a speech delivered by 'Nickglais' of the Great Unrest Group 2012 in support of a new Welsh Land Act on 10th June 2012 on Mynydd Y Gwair. This speech was part of a weekend of action on 9th/10th on Mynydd Betws and Mynydd Gwair against Land Grabbing and Industrial scale Windmilling of Wales. Here is the text of Nickglais's speech on 10th June 2012 on Mynydd y Gwair.
It is unacceptable that in 2012 that Land in Wales is owned by the English Crown and Aristocrats.
These Lands were stolen from the Welsh People and never were or never can belong to the Aristocracy or Monarchy of another country because of historic conquest.
Welsh People are being denied a say or even access to their own land because of the ownership of Welsh Land by the English Crown and Aristocrats.
Today we have the Duke of Beaufort trying to impose a wind farm on the Mynydd y Gwair in Carmarthenshire against the wishes of the local Welsh People because of his historic title to the land based on robbery and conquest.
Mynydd y Bettws is a 100% protected and very large habitat area of supreme beauty has had a Wind Farm was imposed on this community by using the Enclosure Act of 1845 by Carmarthen County Council in violation of EEC rules for the benefit of an overseas company.
All Crown and Aristocratic Land in Wales should to be returned to the people of Wales for Welsh People to decide the use of their own Land.
We at the Great Unrest Group 2012 support the call for a new Welsh Land Act to achieve that aim.
A Welsh Land Act electronic petition to remove the Duke of Beaufort's lands and Crown Lands by compulsory purchase is now being organized throughout Wales.
Apart from the petition we at the Great Unrest Group 2012 support the call for Peoples Allotments on Aristocratic Estates and Crown Estates throughout Wales.
Standing here on the Mynydd y Gwair reminds us that Wales has a history of democratic meetings on mountains that goes back several hundreds of years.
Welsh people historically were driven into the mountain by the English Conquest of Wales - the mountains were our last defence for a Welsh fightback that has never ended.
The working class movement in Wales was born in secret meetings on Gwent Mountains these meetings gave birth to the Scotch Cattle Movement of the early 19th century - a movement that demanded social justice in early industrial Wales.
It was a movement of direct democracy of the mountains in line with Welsh tradition.
Today we see the democracy of the squares in urban areas in London, New York, Athens Cairo and the rejection of representative democracy for direct democracy.
Today in 2012 we remember the Great Unrest in Wales in 1910-1912 when the authors of the Miners Next Step rejected elite representative democracy for the democracy of the workplace industrial democracy.
Elite capitalist representative democracy will give way in the 21st century for the mass democracy of the working people.
The rural direct democracy of the mountains will join with the urban direct democracy of the squares.
Therefore we at The Great Unrest Group call on the Occupy movement in Wales to look beyond your urban horizons and join us in taking back the land from the Crown and Aristocratic Estates in Wales - sign the petition for a new Welsh Land Act - support the People's Allotments campaign - Occupy the Land !

(Patriots Against Windmills) - AFAN NEDD.
Hello,
For those who don't know me I'm Russell Morris , I'm a Member of Balchder Cymru .
What I am about to say some people might agree and some might not , but here it is .
Why do we need to wreck more of our Countryside here in Wales ? When at present we produce more energy than we currently use. Why are we allowing ourselves to be a battery source for England ? And not get any benefit for it .
Like I say we don't need to wreck any more land , because look around your towns and villages , look at the land already wrecked in the construction of houses and business premises .
Now if the majority of these buildings had their own source of power , via the form of solar panels or even mini turbines on the roofs of properties , it would kill two birds with one stone so to speak . By firstly using land already built on and secondly putting the benefit where it needs to be – the person residing in the property.
Some councils are already doing solar on their houses , like in Wrecsam . In the village of Coedpoeth they are already being attached to the roofs . So it can be done !.
You don't even need to restrict solar and wind to just buildings either . Like for instance , street lighting and motorway lighting can also be converted .
Now imagine all the lights in Wales using FREE electricity , think about how much that would save US . So NO to Monster Turbines but YES to other ways of doing it like I just mentioned .
In the 60's Patriots of Wales battled against the flooding of Tryweryn , well fast forward to NOW and we have our own battle and its a much bigger Tryweryn.
We need to get out there Protest and Poster places up , those on the internet can print off posters off the website at BalchderCymru.Info . We can't sit back and let things roll over us .
Most of us have jobs or more than one job . What we can do though is make a commitment to get OUT there when we can and DO what we can . No one else is going to do it for us .
Thanks
Russell Morris
Member of Balchder Cymru.

Message From Organisers:
Sian and I wish to extend thanks to all who supported and attended the above event and activities. I also extend thanks to the Police who kept a low profile with two officers who allowed us to proceed with out any interference whatsoever, hope they as every one else had a good day and unlike I, who went home dead beat and with a Sun burnt head and forehead.
Where Next did I here you say?
Well! a Republican Holiday ( I empasize holiday) in Ardal Maenclochog on 14 July Bastille Day, then launch of PAW - MORGANNWG and Campaign against Pen y Cymoedd Windmill Plantation some where in the Blaenau Morgannwg Mid - August. An 'ADFEDDIANT' of the vast English Crown Estate on and around Coedwig Brechfa over the August Bank Holiday Weekend 2012. In conclusion between 18 - 24 Mis Medi 2012 another 'ADFEDDIANT', this time of the Vyrnwy Estate as an on going struggle against a vast Land Grab by United Utilities. This campaign is as much about expropriation of our Woodlands and Water as it is against potential Windmill Plantation sites there. Hopefully, this may also witness a mass mobalisation of Patriots who will by Mis Medi - Mis Glyndwr have woken up, ready to advance in a National United Anti - Colonial Movement and Struggle seeking as our National Hero Owain Glyndwr the defence of our People and Communities from the 'Old Conquistadores' and the Liberation of Our Homeland. The 24 Medi 1400 was the day upon which was fought the first Battle of Vyrnwy, in reality a skimish but again as Glyndwr would prove a year later at Hyddgen he could in the long run win against the odds! Now will all you Patriots out there be ready to 'engage' in the Second (non - Violent) Battle of Vyrnwy during September 2012. Make Ready!
