Today I have been supporting some friends who are protesting against the planned closure of the oldest university in Wales.

...Late last year, UWTSD announced plans to end the 200-year tradition of undergraduate teaching at Lampeter. So, next week, on Tuesday 21st January, I will be outside the Senedd in Cardiff protesting. Join me if you can, and/or sign and share the petition I'll put in next reply...
...What I've witnessed for decades is a wonderful place, which transforms lives. I'm blown away by the number of my fellow alumni who have become academics for instance - as well as e.g. musicians, novelists and poets...
...When I found out that one could study there, I applied, got in, enjoyed three amazing years, stayed on for a PhD and returned in recent times as an external examiner...
Cofiwch 1822!
Back in the '80s while studying Welsh history, I became intrigued by St David's College in Lampeter, the oldest HE institution in Wales which was founded before most of those in England...
Absolutely! :)
