Plaid Conference success


Newydd cyrraedd nol i Rhos ar ol bod yn y Gynhadledd yng Nghaernarfon. Wedi blino'n lan i fod yn onest ar ol cwpwl o ddyddie prysur. O'dd y Gynhadledd yn gret, a phawb yn bositif am yr ymgyrch yn arwain at Fai y 3ydd. Roedd sesiynau panel y dydd yn ffordd dda o rhannu syniadau polisi, a wnes i fwynhau y sesiwn iaith a'r drafodaeth bywiog ar rhaglennu S4/C! Roedd nifer o'r sesiynau ymylol yn ddiddorol ac mi roedd e'n dda i allu cwrdd a'r sector iechyd er mwyn dysgu am yr hyn sydd yn flaenoriaethau polisi iddynt hwy cyn yr etholiad.
Roedd stynt chep Eaglestone o gyflwyno cytundeb i Plaid yn sioe werth ei weld i ddweud y lleiaf, a poster mawr newydd Plaid at yr ymgyrch yn symbol o ddiffyg syniadaeth Eaglestone a'i ffrindiau yn y Blaid Lafur Prydeinig.
Mae ochr cymdeithasol y Gynhadledd wastad yn dda, yn enwedig tro ma 'da sesiwn canu cor Plaid yn y Black Boi yng Nghaernarfon, wedi ei arwain gan yr ymgeisydd llawn cymeriad, Allan Pritchard o Islwyn!!
Nawr rwy nol i'r ymgyrchu ar lawr gwlad ar ol fy 'top up' o gyffro o Gynhadledd y Blaid!


I've just got back to Rhos from Caernarfon. I'm shattered to be honest, after a couple of busy days. The Conference was great, and all members were positive about the imminent Assembly election on May the 3rd. The panel sessions at Conference were a great way of sharing policy ideas, and I enjoyed the somewhat exciting discussion regarding S4/C programmes during my stint on the Welsh language panel. Some of the fringe meetings were good, and a chance to meet health professionals, and learn about the issues that they are promoting in their individual manifesto's was also beneficial.
Eaglestone's cheap stunt of turning up at Conference with the contract was a show worth seeing, that's for sure, and Plaid's new billboard a symbol of Eaglestone and co's lack of ideas and desperation!
The social side of Conference is always good, especially as this time we had a Plaid choir at the Black Boi in Caernarfon led by the enigmatic Islwyn candidate, Allan Pritchard!
It's back to the campaigning now that I've had my top-up of Plaid excitement at Conference!

And I was very pleased to see Adam refuse to sign Martin's silly petition. But I thought it was a rather good stunt. Got him a lot of publicity. I've already seen some poll which suggests he is going to beat Alun Ffred - so you better stop giving him so much coverage

Eaglestone didn't sign our petition against trident, a declaration against entering any more illegal wars and a full parliament for Wales,however!... He walked away in shame!

There are so many polls and predictions flying around now it's hard to take note of them all. All I know is that Alun Ffred is an excellent AM, fighting a professional campaign.Which is more than can be said for the Labour candidate's campaign!

I never realised that Rhos was such a hotbed of political activity. Plaid's candidate in the General election, Geraint Owen lived in Rhos too, in fact just round the corner from me :-)

Rhos is the place to be obviously!

There are no real polls in Wales, which enoys us punters no end, but a poll suggesting that wee Martin could win Arfon hardly sounds reliable, though he might get some tea and crumpets.
