More
than 150 protestors met up on a lonely hill in Mid Wales on July 8th
2007 to show how
they much they care about saving Wales from the scourge of industrial
wind turbines "I was incredibly proud to be asked to join David Bellamy and David Bellamy leading the Protest at Cefn Coch. Many years ago I worked on a hill farm in Mid Wales, and I have never forgotten how beautiful it was there. I was a runner in those days, and also competed in the famous Nos Galan races at Mountain Ash, where I learnt at first hand how wonderful Welsh hospitality can be. When I became involved in the fight against wind turbines in Devon, I was horrified to learn about what has already happened in Wales, especially the desecration at Cefn Croes. I wished I had known about it when it was happening, and been there to fight against it. I am so glad that I was able to join this protest, even if it is too late to save Cefn Croes. It was also wonderful - from the viewpoint of Artists against wind farms - to meet up again with Professor David Bellamy, who helped us launch the website in Scotland in 2005, and to meet David Bellamy and Jenny Keal in person at last. And I have managed to photograph another of Angela Kelly`s paintings, which will be on the website soon, along with some interesting new work from another person that I met at the demonstration (more news about this coming)" Christine Lovelock I am putting up links to some of the groups that were represented at the Demonstration. If I haven`t found your details, and you would like a link, or something about your group or your protest on this website, please contact me. It was great meeting you all. |
