Subject: Re: Slow start
Date: 07 March 2001 06:12
Hello Listers,
Several days ago there was a reference to the slow start from the Gwynedd
mailing list. Alwyn ap Huw agreed with this point, but went on to say that
he thought there should be a Wales list, as everyone would have family ties
with south Wales as well.He did this on the Clwyd,Gwynedd and Powys lists.At
this point I explained why the Gwynedd list was slow, and disagreed with him
about having a Wales list to replace Anglesey,Caernarfonshire,
Denbighshire,Breconshire etc. Since then there have been many e-mails on
this subject, on the Clwyd, Gwynedd and Powys lists, and as far I can see
all disagree with Alwyn.
Yvonne Edwards and Vic Roberts, the list administrators for Gwynedd and
Clwyd, have gone on to explain the position. They have no choice- they have
to include the pre 1974 counties, slow or not.I passed on the views of
Yvonne for the benefit of Powys listers. From the reaction of all the
e-mails so far, I don't think we will be having a Wales list in the near
future. I would imagine that by now even Alwyn is having second thoughts.
I'm glad to say that since this subject came up, the Gwynedd list is no
longer slow.For those who have subscribed please keep sending those e-mails,
and give Yvonne a chance.
Diolch yn fawr.
Regards,
Stan.
Gwynedd FHS.
