Network for Peace

Cymdeithas y Cymod Vigil. The theme of this year's Vigil will be Henry Richard, the "Apostle of Peace". Almost exactly 200 years since he was born on 3 April 1812, we will meet in his home town to celebrate his work for peace between the world's nations. All are welcome. (Please note that all the meetings will be in Welsh.) The Vigil will begin with dinner at 6pm on the Friday night, which will be followed by a talk by Gwyn Griffiths about Henry Richard's life and work and an opportunity to socialise.

Various actions around the country and in London.
11:30am On Whitehall opposite Downing St. If you can (but don't feel obliged to!), come wearing hospital scrubs, academic mortarboard and gown, a firefighter's helmet or other outfit to shoulder the burden of Trident, while others will be dressed as bankers and politicians!
