Carmarthenshire 'Yes for Wales' campaign to launch

The Steering Committee of the Carmarthenshire Yes Campaign for greater powers for the Welsh Assembly have announced that their Campaign will be launched on Saturday 8 January 2011.
The Steering Committee was elected at the open public meeting held in Carmarthen on 15 December. It is a cross political party committee headed by the Rev. John Gillibrand the vicar of Llangeler, with Dafydd Tomos Representing Plaid Cymru, Philip Grice for Labour and Selwyn Runnett for the Lib Dems.
Henry Jones-Davies has also joined the committee to help with publicity and promotion – Henry was a leading member of the successful 1997 Yes campaign leading up to the referendum which saw the birth of the National Assembly for Wales.
John Gillibrand said; “We are looking for a representative from the Conservatives, and naturally we would welcome membership from other political parties in Wales”.
There will be a grand launch of the Carmarthenshire Yes Campaign from the Guildhall steps in Carmarthen Town Centre on Saturday 8 January 2012 at 12 noon. After the launch there will be an open public meeting in the Civic Hall Nott Square, starting at 12.30.
Dafydd Tomos said: “Our launch will be spearheaded by Welsh Rugby Union Chief Executive Roger Lewis, and we are also inviting a number of local personalities on the Guildhall steps to join our launch”
Philip Grice said: “We also hope that local bodies and associations will also want to join with us in promoting the Yes campaign for greater powers for the Welsh Assembly. Associations can obtain further information from Henry Jones-Davies on Email henryjonesdavies@gmail.com, or can register with us on Saturday 8 January”.
The Carmarthenshire Campaign will shortly be announcing details of their own dedicated Website, and meanwhile “Yes For Wales” can be found on Facebook.
