I've just got back from the Inter Isles Forum. I am so tired it's unbelievable! It was a very eventful weekend. The discussion on faith and the state did succeed fully in being dominated by the Irish delegates. No surprise there then. The discussions were very interesting and lively, and other Cymru X delegates, namely Steffan Lewis, managed to live up to expectations by sparking a few contentious arguments;-)
In the afternoon session, the delegates visited differing places of worship. I visited the 'Church of Scientology'. I must say that it was an interesting experience considering that I knew nothing about Scientology before the visit. I didn't meet TomCat unfortunately.
The social side of the weekend lived up to it's guaranteed political boffin discussions at the local bars, although we were limited this time round being that all pubs in Westminster where we stayed closed at a mere 11pm.
Wales is set to host the Forum next year, I believe. Let's hope that more Welsh delegates attend next time! Perhaps Independence should be the topic of the day. That would be another lively discussion, for sure.

Thanks for the invite to your Conference. I'll check out the dates. I'm sure someone from Cymru X would love to go along.
