TOWARDS A RESURGENT COLEG HARLECH 2021.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, POST COVID, OUR COUNTRY WILL REQUIRE A SPECIAL EFFORT TO GET BACK ON IT'S FEET TO REBUILD FOR A PROSPEROUS FUTURE. 

SO WHAT TO DO?  FIRST SAVE COLEG HARLECH AS A COLLEGE OF RESURGENT PLANNING, THINKING AND EDUCATIONAL ACTION FOR FUTURE SOCIAL ECONOMIC REGENERATION. BRING TOGETHER YOUNG PEOPLE WHO MISSED THE EDUCATION BOAT DURING THE COVID  CRISIS TO BE EDUCATED AND TRAINED TO SERVE OUR FUTURE IN ALL AREAS OF NEED. TO THIS END LOOK TO THE PAST INSPIRATION IN LINKS BELOW.

             

THE PRIORITY FOR A RESURGENT COLEG HARLECH IS OF URGENT NEED AND MUST BE ADDRESSED WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO FURTHER 'SECOND CHANCE' EDUCATION FOR THOSE WHO LOST OUT DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC AND DURING YEARS OF RECOVERY WITH AN  EDUCATED AND TRAINED POST COVID GENERATION TO ASSIST OUT OF A RESURGENT COLEG HARLECH.

WE FIND IT ODD THAT LABOUR AM's ARE DISINTERESTED IN SUSTAINING A WORKING CLASS COLLEGE WHILST NATIONALISTS OF PLAID CYMRU CANNOT SEE THAT COLEG HARLECH TODAY MIGHT BE SYMBOLIC OF A COVID CYMRU COLLAPSE INTO RUINATION.

Y DIWEDDARA AR Y DDEISEB I ACHUB COLEG HARLECH....LATEST NEWS ON THE PETITION CAMPAIGN TO SAVE COLEG HARLECH FOR THE CYMRIC NATION

Mae'r llofnodion hyd yma wedi cyrraedd 5,653, mae hyn yn wych a diolch mawr iawn i pawb ohonoch sydd wedi llofnodi ond, gan bod y Senedd wedi symud y pyst goal i ofyn am 10,000 o lofnodion, tybed oes modd cyrraedd 6,000 erbyn amser cinio, 8,000 erbyn diwedd y dydd a'r 2,000 yn weddill erbyn y dyddiad cau fory? Mae gen i ffydd ynom fel cenedl bod hyn yn bosibl. Dewch i ni gael rhywbeth i lawenhau ynddo wedi'r cyfnod hir yma o ddiflasdod tywyll Covid 19.

Fel modd o gryfhau'r achos, dwi wrthi'n casglu 'tystlythyrau' oddi wrth cyn fyfyrwyr sydd wedi bod yn ddigon lwcus o gael y profiad o fod yn fyfyriwr yn y Coleg ac, yn ogystal hoffwn dderbyn 'tystlythyrau' tebyg oddi wrth trigolion lleol Harlech a chyn weithwyr yn y Coleg. Mae'n holl bwysig dangos i Senedd Cymru pa mor bwysig oedd y Coleg i'r economi lleol. Er engraifft, gweler y dysglythyr gwych yma dderbyniais ddoe oddi wrth un o drigolion Harlech:

"Ga’i hefyd ddweud Sian, Mor bwysig oedd y Coleg i ein tref Harlech, sef yn cyflogi pobl lleol ag y Coleg, myfyrwyr a’r staff yn cyfrannu i economi y dref. Ac ysturio fod y dref a’r ei glinniau erbyn hyn, yn dref tlawd Iawn gyda dim diwydiant ac yn dennu pobl lleol o’r ardal. Fel Cymru Cymraeg, ni allwn goroesi gyda twristiaeth a tai haf yn unig, gan fydd hyn yn lladd ein tref, ein Iaith, ag ein diwilliant. A buasai ail agor y Coleg yn rhoi hwb i’n tref. Gyda Diolch"

Bethan F Jones

Bydd y tystlythyrau yn cael eu hanfod i'r pwyllgor deisebau fel cefnogaeth i'r ddeiseb, os oes rhywun am gyflwyno tystlythyr, bydd yn rhaid iddo fy ngyrraedd ar ebost sifl@hotmmail.co.uk erbyn hanner dydd ar y 17 o Chwefror. Diolch.

LATEST NEWS ON THE PETITION TO SAVE COLEG HARLECH.

Signatures currently stands at 5,653 and this is great! and many thanks to all of you who have signed and shared already but, as we all know, the Welsh Government's Petition Committee have moved the goal posts and now are demanding £10,000 signatures and the petition closes tommorrow night! So, can we all make a final big push to try and get the numbers up to 6000 by lunchtime, 8,000 by the end of tonight and the remaining 2,000 by the end of tommorrow. CAN WE DO IT ...YES, WE CAN! Let's have something to celebrate in at long last following this long dark depressing period bought about by the Covid 19 pandemic.

I am also currently collecting testimonials from ex students, ex workers and from Harlech locals in regards to their experiences of Coleg Harlrch - and already, some great testimonials have come through. All will be very useful as supporting material for the petition and if anybody wishes to send me testimonials, they should be sent to my email box at sifl@hotmail.co.uk and should reach me by noon, 17th Feb at the latest. Many thanks.

GREAT NEWS...WE HAVE NOW GOT 5, 369 SIGNATURES ON THE PETITION TO SAVE COLEG HARLECH BUT...READ ON.

GREAT NEWS! We have now passed the 5000 Signatures 'initially' requested by the Petition Committee if the 'request for purchasing' was going to be considered for discussion in the Senedd Chamber but,  as you are all aware by now, the Welsh Government moved the goal posts in regards to petitions  and we are now aiming to fulfill the new quota of signatures stipulated, which is 10,000 - and we need to reach this new goal by this Sunday night, the 14th feb which is when the petition closes.

CAN WE DO IT? The number of signatures on the petition at this precise moment is 5,349 and Padi Phillips, who is an ex Coleg Harlech student has, this morning, put his weight behind the campaign to get the remaining signatures needed with the his launching of a great appeal to the 20,000 Yes Cymru members to support and sign the petition so, if Padi's appeal is heeded and answered, reaching the ultimate goal of 10,000 signatures is very achievable.   Support has been fantastic to reach the 5,000 mark considering that Westminster petitions only stipulates a need for 10,000 signatures and England has a population of 56million to source their quota from. 

I'm confident that we all want to save this unique college from being lost to our nation and we desperately need all available   ammunition to take this issue further so, if you have not as yet signed, please do so and get as many others to do likewise by whatever means possible such as all other forms of social media. I cannot stress enough that if we win this one,  we will have illustrated to one and all that if we feel strong enough about such Injustices and that if we unite in strong enough opposition, we WILL win! So, please, one and all, let's bend over backwards and let us think, think, think, who else we can get to sign, ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET, that we haven't asked to sign yet.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL ACTIVISTS OF ALL GROUPS AND PERSUATIONS TO UNITE IN ACTION TO GET  SIGNATURES ON THIS PETITION. IF WE CANNOT DO THIS NOW, OUR PRECIOUS AND VALUABLE ASSETS WILL CONTINUE TO BE STIPPED FROM UNDER OUR FEET! 

Following is Padi Phillip's  appeal, please read, please sign the petition and then please pass both Padi's appeal on far and wide. Diolch.

"One last call. We've seen a massive response to the petition to save our National Library, which the Welsh Labour government tried to wriggle out of with their claims of mismanagement - this might have been the case, but if so, why didn't the Welsh government address those management issues instead of merely washing their hands of such a vital national institution? It's not as if we have a huge number of them in the first place!

Something similar could be said about the former college at Harlech, Coleg Harlech, which for 90 years between 1927 and 2017 provided a second chance for those of us who might have messed up our first chance. Coleg Harlech was in its own way just as important to Harlech as the National Library is to Aberystwyth, and maybe in some ways even more important. Coleg Harlech was also the site of Theatr Ardudwy, which for many decades from 1973 onwards provided a venue for local people to get involved with drama, to see the latest blockbuster films, watch Welsh National Opera performances and other events that couldn't be staged anywhere else locally.

As important as the loss of a gem in the crown of Welsh education, and education internationally, (Coleg Harlech always had a few students from outside the UK) was the loss of an important provider of all year round permanent full-time jobs with decent pay. In the mid 1980s the college was directly responsible for contributing one and a half million pounds a year, with what students spent on top of that. The college kept the town going when the holidaymakers weren't around.

I feel very privileged to have been a student at Coleg Harlech, and have been part of a campaign to get the Welsh government to consider a role for the site of the former college that will bring maximum benefit to the local community. There are other organisations willing to consider alternative uses, such as using part of the college site and that of the next door St David's Hotel site for badly needed social housing, and there is local interest in reopening Theatr Ardudwy, but it needs the Welsh government to be on board.

We also need to remember Coleg Harlech and what it contributed to Wales. To know this would take having been a student there, but all I can say as a former student is that it is a tragedy that the devolved Welsh government allowed the college to close, and that what Wales needs is more institutions like Coleg Harlech.

However, now that the college is closed, and has been since 2017, we are now hoping that we can persuade the Welsh government to discuss future uses for the Coleg Harlech site that bring maximum benefit to the people of Harlech.

The petition closes in a couple of days, and instead of the 5000 signatures needed when the petition was started, the Welsh government retroactively applied the new rules to the petition,and so it now needs 10,000 signatures. Until a few days ago the numbers stood at just over 2000, but in the past couple of days, more and more people have signed and the petition has almost reached its original target. Can we now hope to reach the new target of 10,000? With your help we can. There are getting on for 20,000 YesCymru members, most of us recently members who have become so because we care about our country. There are more than enough of us to make a difference, particularly in things like this, which is defending Wales in every way possible.

It's too late to save Coleg Harlech, but it's not too late to create some kind of memorial to the college and also to reclaim something of lasting value from the wreckage that is of continuing benefit to the community. 

Notwithstanding Coleg Harlech, or indeed the National Library of Wales we need to consider what we are about and what makes up Wales. With this in mind I think we need to be ready to defend all that we are, to question any attempt to reduce our institutions, no matter how small, obscure or insignificant they may appear to us - they often have huge value to many, and though they might represent a fringe interest, do we need reminding that we are a fringe interest to some, which is why all of us are members of YesCymru.

So, come along, all we need are just over 5000 more signatures to ensure that the future use of the Coleg Harlech site is discussed in the Senedd.

As our patron saint is alleged to have said, "Gnewch y pethau bychain" Do the small things, like adding your name to the petition below. You know that you, and Wales, are worth it!" 

LET'S DO IT... FOR COLEG HARLECH AND FOR CYMRU!

S.O.S. CALLING ON EVERYONE IN CYMRU AND WORLWIDE WHO GIVE A DAMN ABOUT OUR NATION AND THE FUTURE OF OUR PRICELESS INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS COLEG HARLECH TO SIGN THE PETITION. ..ONLY TWO DAYS TO GO!

 Anybody who truly loves and cares for Cymru as a nation and truly cares for her national treasures and historical institutions will be distraught and angered to learn of  the present plight of Coleg Harlech, that unique institution,situated at the small town of Harlech in Snowdonia, which has provided a 'first' opportunity of higher education at a residential college to scores of students from a working class background since 1927.

Of course, there may be those that may, as of yet, for whatever reason, not be familiar with the unique history of Coleg Harlech and I would strongly encourage such people to, in the first instance, google as much background information as they can absorb about the Coleg prior to reading earlier posts in this blog.

To come up to date re the petition demanding that the Welsh Government re-purchases the Coleg for the continued use of the working class. Signatures now stand at 4,571 and we are aiming for 5,000 whch is what the Welsh Government initially asked for, so, we need to get the remaining 429 in two days to provide us with the ammunition to take this issue further so, if you have not as yet signed, please do so and get as many others to do likewise by whatever means possible such as all other forms of social media. I stress, we only need 429 more signatures and we will be armoured with the ammunition to take the issue further and, we will have illustrated to one and all that if we feel strong enough about such Injustices and that if we unite in strong enough opposition, we WILL win! So, please, one and all, let's bend over backwards and let us think, think, think, who else we can get to sign, ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET, that we haven't asked to sign yet.

 NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL ACTIVISTS OF ALL GROUPS AND PERSUATIONS TO UNITE IN ACTION TO GET THESE LAST FEW SIGNATURES ON THIS PETITION. IF WE CANNOT DO THIS NOW, OUR PRECIOUS AND VALUABLE ASSETS WILL CONTINUE TO BE STIPPED FROM UNDER OUR FEET! 

LET'S DO IT... FOR COLEG HARLECH AND FOR CYMRU!

FOUR DAYS LEFT TO SIGN THE PETITION...IF WE TOLERATE THE DESTRUCTION OF THIS HISTORICAL NATIONAL INSTITUTION, WHAT WILL BE NEXT!

 

PWYSIG IAWN IAWN! Gweler y neges isod. Peter Evans, cyn fyfyriwr yn Ngholeg Harlech sydd wedi cyfansoddi'r apêl diweddara. Mae Peter wedi bod yn weithgar iawn yn cenhadu ar gyfer yr achos dan sylw ac wedi bod yn weithgar iawn yn rhannu'r ddeiseb. DOES OND PEDWAR DIWRNOD AR ÔL HYD AT Y DYDDIAD CAU! DEWCH I NI GYRRU 5000 O LOFNODION FEL MODD O DDANGOS I'R GWLEIDYDDION NAD YW CAU A DINISTRIO TRYSORAU FEL COLEG HARLECH YN DDERBYNIOL! YDI PAWB WEDI LLOFNODI? YDI MAM A DAD A NAIN A TAID WEDI LLOFNODI? YDI SER CYMRU I GYD WEDI LLOFNODI? MEDDYLIWCH PWY SYDD DDIM WEDI LLOFNODI A CYSYLLTWCH A NHW I BWYSLEISIO'R PWYSIGRWYDD I LOFNODI.

AR RAN GOLEG HARLECH A CHYMRU...DIOLCH!

VERY, VERY IMPORTANT! See the message below composed by Peter Evans an ex Coleg Harlech student who is passionate in his endeavours to save the Coleg and has been active in passing the petition far and worldwide. THERE ARE ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE CLOSING DATE FOR SIGNATURES SO, LET'S MAKE ONE BIG GREAT EFFORT TO GET THE 5000 INITIALLY REQUESTED BY THE WELSH GOVERNMENT. IT IS CRUCIAL TO MAKE A STAND ON THIS AND SHOW THAT CLOSING DOWN SUCH IMPORTANT INSTITUTIONS IN OUR NATION WILL NOT BE TOLERATED BY THE PEOPLEi HAS EVERYONE READ THE PETITION AND PASSED IT ON FAR AND WORLDWIDE? HAS YOUR MAM, DAD, GRAN AND GRANDAD SIGNED? HAS ALL OUR WELSH STARS WHEREEVER THEY MAY BE SIGNED? THINK HARD WHO HAS NOT YET SIGNED AND CONTACT THEM TO STRESS ON THEM THE CRUCIALITY OF SIGNING.

ON BEHALF OF COLEG HARLECH AND CYMRU...DIOLCH.Coleg Harlech friends. Bit of a miracle with the petition. We’ve gone up by 1400 hundred signatures in a week and 700 over the last 24 hours! Amazing. We stand tonight at 3500 signatures. With your help we can hit the 5000 in the last 4 days. Please help! We have 4 days left.

Will a 100 of you, even if you have already signed, ask 20 of your friends directly to sign the petition now? If you do we will get over the 5k hurdle in the next couple of days.

Here’s an example of what I’ve sent to many supportive face book sites. The near communities and Harlech have been amazing.

Please support. Please help. Now. Shoulders to thevwherl firva last push. We can do this.

..............Pob Hwyl. please can I ask for your help. This was a unique, radical second chance college. We have 4 days and we need a SPRINT if we are to present this petition to the Welsh Senedd for a debate on regeneration and the future of the lovely Coleg Harlech and Theatre Ardudwy site.

Signatures can come from anyone in any place as well as Wales.

We have a respectable 3500 signatures. We needed 5000 but then the goalposts were changed and we now need 10k. We put on 500 signatures in the last 24 hours.

We might achieve a moral victory and get to 5k if everyone who signed the petition was willing to say use messenger or copy the petition and ask 10 friends to also sign. It only takes a minute.

Coleg Harlech was Wales only full time second chance educational college and helped many ordinary people and supported the regional economy. It had prestige. We may never see students at the Coleg again, but it is ripe for a meaningful regeneration project that would honour its past and continue to serve the community and region.

At the moment it is derelict and being asset stripped. It could be so much better than this.

Would you please support this cause and help the debate on Coleg Harlech. Time is short - we need a blitz.

This place really is too important to lose for Wales and a meaningful future can be achieved. This is what we hope the petition will do through debate at a time of election. Cofion

COLEG HARLECH...Y SAFIAD OLAF! THE LAST STAND!

 

Does ond 6 diwrnod ar ôl nes bydd y ddeiseb yn erfyn ar Lywodraeth Cymru i achub Coleg Harlech (y coleg unigryw yma sydd wedi roi profiad 'unigryw ynghŷd, â'r 'cyfle cyntaf i addysg uwch,' i cymaint o rhengoedd y dosbarth gweithiol yn Nghymru a thu hwnt) yn cyrraedd y dyddiad cau. Hyd yma, mae yna 2.656 o lofnodion ar y ddeiseb, dros 550 o rhain wedi ymddangos yn y chwe diwrnod diwethaf wedi i hen fyfyrwyr y Coleg ynghŷd â chyfeillion ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol fynd i'r afael o ddifrif i wneud bopeth o fewn eu gallu i gael llofnodion - sy'n dangos beth ellir ei wneud os yw'r ewyllys yn bodoli.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn 'mynnu' erbyn hyn bod angen 10,000 o lofnodion ar ddeisebau yn hytrach na'r 5,000 a ofyynnid amdano yn wreiddiol (pryd derbynwyd y ddeiseb dan sylw ganddynt) os yw'r pwnc i'w drafod ar lawr y siambr ac, wrth reswm, does fawr o obaith o gael 7,300 o lofnodion mewn chwe niwrnod ond, o ystyried fod yna 550 wedi llofnodi yn y chwe diwrnod diwethaf, gellir cyrraedd y 5,000 o lofnodion a ofynnwyd amdanynt yn wreiddiol os, gwneir ymdrech arbennig gan pawb sy'n darllen y neges yma i roi chydig o'u hamser i bendroni parthed pwy arall sydd ar gael i gefnogi'r achos drwy arwyddo'r ddeiseb.

Dewch i bob un ohonom sy'n wirioneddol o ddifrif ynghyd a rhwystro sefydliadau pwysig ac unigryw fel Coleg Harlech, ynghyd a thir ein gwlad, rhag cael eu rheibio a'u gwerthu i estroniaid ysglyfaethus, yrru'r neges allan yn glir...TYDI CYMRU DDIM AR WERTH! a dewch i ni yrru'r union neges fel bwled gwyllt i Lywodraeth Cymru yn Fae Caerdydd. Dewch i ni, yn ogystal, roi sialens pendant i bob un sy'n honni i fod o blaid Annibyniaeth i Gymru. Mae'n siwr bod yna rhai o 'lu' Yes Cymru wedi llofnodi'r ddeiseb yn barod, ond ymhell o fod yn nifer ddigonol ohonynt fel gellir weld o'r ffigyrau sydd ar y ddeiseb hyd yma, felly, i'r rhai hynny sy'n honni i fod yn ddiffuant o blaid Annibyniaeth i'n gwlad, ddwedai hyn; os nad ydych yn barod i, hyd yn oed, arwyddo deiseb i achub y coleg unigryw yma rhag ei ffawd, pa obaith eich bod am achub Cymru rhag cael ei werthu'n gyfangwbl nes bod dim ar ôl i fod yn annibynol ohono?, felly, rhaid gofyn y cwestiwn mawr, pam disgwyl i ni roi ein ffydd ynoch chi fel 'gwaredwyr Cymru'?

Dangoswch undod a dangoswch ein bod YMA O HYD' o ddifrif drwy wneud y mymryn lleiaf yma a ofynir ohonoch! Os na ellir cyflawni'r mymryn lleiaf yma, dim ond geiriau gwag yw canu YMA O HYD! Efrynaf arnoch unwaith yn ragor, i arwyddo a dosbarthu'r ddeiseb isod, dewch i ni, o leiaf, ddangos ein danedd drwy gael 5,000 o enwau ar y ddeiseb erbyn Chwefror y 14fed. Diolch.

There is but 6 days left before the petition calling for the Welsh Government to save Coleg Harlech ( this unique establishment that has provided an unique experience along with the 'first chance of a higher education to so many of a working class background) expires. To date, there are 2,656 signatures on the petition - and 550 of those have been added in the last 6 days thanks to the concerted efforts of ex- Coleg Harlech students and other sincere friends on social media in pulling all the stops out - which shows what can be achieved if the will is there.

As noted in one of the previous posts, the Welsh Government has changed the goal posts in regards to petition requirements and are now demanding 10,000 signatures on petitions if the subject of a petition is to be considered for discussion on the chamber floor, this is a 50% increase in numbers demanded! Westminster petitions only asks for 10,000 signatures and England, alone, has a population of 56 million to source these signatures from whilst Cymru has a population of just over 3 million!

We must now face the fact that we are not now going to get 7, 300 signatures on the petition in question in the six days left but, if we take into consideration that 550 signatures were added in the last six days, we CAN reach the 5,000 previously demanded by the Welsh Government if, EVERYBODY who reads this plea sits down, puts their thinking caps on and gives an hour of their time to have a good brain bash to see how they can help the cause to get names on that petition in the next six days.

Let's all who are 'for real' in regards to safeguarding unigue establishments such as Coleg Harlech step forth and make a stand for justice for the Coleg that has provided excellent service by signing the petition and ensuring that all those of your acquaintances sign. Let all Cymry who 'really care about our Cymric properties, land anf forestries, send out the message CYMRU IS NOT FOR SALE to all ravaging parasytes by signing the petition and ensuring all your acquaintances sign and, let us fire a similar strong message across the bow of our "so called" ship of Welsh Government down in Bae Caerdydd that we are united in our stand not to tolerate such disregard for unique national treasures such as Coleg Harlech, by signing the pettion and by sending it on to sign by all your acqaintances.

Finally, I will now, in the darkest hours of this unique Colrg, the like of which sons and daughters of the working class are unlikely to ever experience again, plead to those 16 or more thousands 'purporting' to be campaigning for Cymric Independence. a few of this movement have already signed I'm sure but, the number of signatures on the petition illustrates that the majority haven't and, it is to those I will say this... That if you 'Indy soldiers' cannot even be bothered to sign this petition to save this wonderful establishment for continuous use by the working class of our nation, what hope is there that you will save Cymru's imminent fate of being sold off lock, stock and barrel until we have nothing left? I plead with all of you who haven't signed, to sign and pass on to all your acquaintances or, if you don't , why should we support and have faith in your movement?

Show that we are united in this struggle by doing this 'minute' bit that's requested of you because, if you fail to deliver on this to support this establishment in its darkest hour then 'your chants of YMA O HYD' are just meaninless hollow words! Let us at the least show our teeth at last by getting 5,000 names on this petition by 14th February. If Yes Cymru really has 16,000 + members then getting the new demanded quota of 10,000 signatures should be no problem at all. Diolch.

COLEG HARLECH A CHYMRU AM BYTH!
