Happy Owain Glyndwr Day!

A very happy Owain Glyndwr Day to all our Welsh readers and those of Welsh descent.

Glyndwr is an inspiration for all those who fight for National Freedom; his story is one of sacrifice, victory, overwhelming odds and finally defeat and exile.

He wished Wales to be independent, to have its own University/ies, to be recognised by the Church as a sovereign nation, and who knows if the decline in the Welsh language of later centuries might not have happened had Glyndwr won the day.

The Owain Glyndwr 5 x 3 foot flag is available to buy at the FC Online Shop (contact us for details if you wish to pay via paypal).

Quote of the Week

“Unless people start life with a culture of their own, exposure to other cultures will seldom enhance their moral or even aesthetic awareness. Without home culture, as it used to be called – a background of firmly held standards and beliefs – people will encounter the “other” merely as consumers of impressions and sensations, as cultural shoppers in pursuit of the latest novelties. It is important for people to measure their own values against others and to run the risk of changing their minds; but exposure to others will do them very little good if they have no minds to risk. New perspectives presuppose a pre-existing point of view.”

Christopher Lasch.
