Bikes, Barbicues, & Lifeboat Llannerchymedd : History of Plaid in Mon 1925-1987
Gerwyn James
Friday, 4.30pm
I’m a native of Anglesey and was brought up in the Star area in the parish of Penmynydd but have lived in Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll since 1977. For many years I was a history teacher in Pwllheli and later in Tryfan Bangor. At present I’m a part-time tutor with the W.D.A. Lately I’ve been involved in writing a book called Y Rhwyg (the Wrench). It.s about the history of the Great War in this part f the island which will be published by Gwasg Carreg Gwalch in the Summer.
My latest project is the history of Plaid on Anglesey – in the hope that this will appear soon
I have been a Plaid member since 1973 and have been involved in canvasing distributing leaflets and knocking on doors since the 1974 election.

The publications that have recently been put on the Society’s website include ‘Wales as an Economic Entity’ and ‘TV in Wales’ by Gwynfor Evans and ‘Self-Government’ by Phil Williams.
Also on the website there are a number of leaflets from the 1960s including the 1966 By-election and Vic Davies’ By-election in the Rhondda.

J.E. JONES
‘Pensaer Plaid Cymru’ – ‘Plaid Cymru Architect’
gan by
Dafydd Williams
J E Jones took up the position of General Secretary Plaid Cymru in 1930, five years after the formation of the party. He was to remain at his post for thirty years, a period that witnessed the burning of the bombing school at Penyberth and the campaigns to defend the Epynt Mountain and Cwm Tryweryn .
In this presentation, another former General Secretary will look at the unique career of the man who became known as the architect of Plaid Cymru.
