Following conversations between groups in the South Central area, a regional group is in the process of being established there.
Based on the successful South East group, which has led to a dramatic growth in activity and member-based engagement, the group will involve the accredited groups of YesPontypridd, Yes Pen-y-bont, Yes Rhondda and Yes Caerdydd. It is expected that the new Yes Cymru group in Cwm Cynon will also be a part of the new regional group.
The group will host monthly meetings with a view to increasing activity in the area and providing a network of support and experience to help develop individual groups further to spread the message of Yes Cymru and the benefits of an independent Wales further.
As part of their ongoing activity commitment to the South East Wales regional group, Yes Merthyr will have a stall at the Merthyr Food Festival on Saturday 22nd July in the town's Penderyn Square.
This event gives the group an excellent platform to further discuss and promote the Yes Cymru brand and increase engagement with local residents on the benefits that an independent Wales will bring.
As well as selling merchandise the stall will be a hive of activity with crafts, games and discussion. Lis McLean, the chair of Yes Merthyr said 'we see the Merthyr Food Fair As an excellent opportunity to support local initiatives as well as to engage with the peolle of Merthyr to promote fundamental change which will have a positive effect on their futures. We will also be looking to have fun and bring a few smiles to faces."
The food festival will be on throughout the day.
