I feel I am now addressing you as friends. You will have in front of you the report for the Trustees and there you will be able to see, presented in a formal way, the work of the executive in the last year. Amazingly and I suppose inevitably, the change continues with an increased insurance policy and trustee indemnity. Our study tours continue as do our lectures, both Tuesday evenings and Lisvane. Looking at our programme of Tuesday lectures I am pleased to see that it contains the work of David Jones and later in the year explores Street Art so exemplifying that CASW is a broad church. There are additional activities planned, as for the first time we have invited members to submit a piece of their own work for a selling Members Exhibition in June 2013. CASW is asking for a contribution from the sale and I know that is a big ask. The exhibition, will I hope raise the profile of CASW as well as increasing funds for the Society. In addition we will be buying works of art again, specifically for Paintings in Hospitals, to be presented at the 2014 AGM. At the AGM in July we will again be losing members who have served their terms of office with great commitment and enthusiasm and I thank all of you for your dedication and good will. However there is no such thing as a vacuum and I am delighted that we will be welcoming new members to the executive to take up specific roles. It does seem that with three or four new members each year there is a momentum taking us forward but we must ensure it is within the context of a culture that endures. With this in mind we are planning to help new members joining the executive with an induction programme which will address the framework of Charity Commission guidelines, the Society’s constitution and most importantly the essence of CASW. During the year CASW lost a very dear member of the Society in the passing of Peggy Rees- Mathews. She was a long standing member of the executive committee , bringing to it charm, grace, passion and hard work. In particular she was the moving force behind the annual dinner. In short, Peggy loved CASW and CASW loved her. 3 Summer Group Exhibition 13 July to 14 September New work from all the Gallery’s artists View exhibition on www.atticgallery.co.uk Attic Gallery Pocketts Wharf, Maritime Quarter, Swansea SA1 3XL T: 01792 653387 E: [email protected] Reason For Ruins by Sara Philpott Open Tuesday - Saturday deeper thinking Getting to know your deeper business right down to the thinking finest detail. ktsowensthomas is one of Wales’ leading firms of accountants, taxation and business advisers.

    The Welsh Conservative Party and the National Assembly of Wales 1997

    MSc (Econ) Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of: MSc (Econ) Welsh Politics & Society (RT) The Welsh Conservative Party and the National Assembly of Wales 1997 – 2010 Kristian Hicks P a g e | 1 Abstract The Conservative Party in Wales has undergone a great deal of change since the creation of the National Assembly in 1999. As a party that vociferously opposed the passing of any devolution settlement,1 the ‘Yes’ outcome of the devolution referendum would push the party into a crisis of relevancy. How exactly does a conservative deal such changes in the structure of a political system? What are the environmental push-pull factors and themes that emanate from such a change?2 This dissertation seeks to explore such questions and also communicates the experiences of the Welsh Conservative party in the age of devolution. The structure of this dissertation is chronological in nature.3 It begins with the experiences of the Conservatives in the first assembly onwards to the present at the time of writing (2010). A myriad of materials will be utilised from the works of Conservative philosophers, specialists in devolution specifically of the Welsh form4, works on Welsh history and journalistic articles. 1 John Major, You can only be sure with the Conservatives, Conservative and Unionist Party Manifesto, 1997, P. 1 2 These themes include party leadership, the relationship between the Welsh and National party and the philosophy of conservatism as applied to institutional change amongst others. 4 Especially through the findings of the devolution monitoring reports.

    ABERYSTWYTH DIGITAL HERITAGE WALK The Women’s Heritage Walk has been developed as part of the Women’s Archive of Wales ‘Century of Hope Project’, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The project marks the centenary of some women getting the right to vote in parliamentary elections, and this walk draws attention to some of the remarkable women who have lived in Aberystwyth during the last two hundred years, and to the man who contributed powerfully to the campaign for the vote. The information in this booklet gives a very brief account of their achievements, but we hope that – especially for the less well known – it will lead to more interest in them. Length of walk: approximately 90 minutes. Ability level: this walk should be accessible to all levels of ability. Route: Ceredigion Museum, Pier Street, Old College, Vulcan Street, Chalybeate Street, Portland Street, Alexandra Hall, The Prom, the Coliseum Theatre and Cinema, Ceredigion Museum. Follow the walk on an App. The Women’s Archive of Wales would like to thank Advancing Aberystwyth for working in partnership with us to develop the free digital app version of this walk. Search for ‘Aber App’ at the App Store or Google Play using your IOS or Android device. The App is free and available in Welsh & English. The Women’s Archive of Wales works to raise the profile of women’s history in Wales and to preserve the sources which tell their story. We organise all kinds of events to promote and celebrate the history of women in Wales.

    Why Learning to Read Is Easier in Welsh Than in English: Orthographic Transparency Effects Evinced with Frequency-Matched Tests

    Applied Psycholinguistics 22 (2001), 571–599 Printed in the United States of America Why learning to read is easier in Welsh than in English: Orthographic transparency effects evinced with frequency-matched tests NICK C. ELLIS and A. MARI HOOPER University of Wales, Bangor ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE Nick C. Ellis, School of Psychology, University of Wales, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 2DG, United Kingdom. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study compared the rate of literacy acquisition in orthographically transparent Welsh and ortho- graphically opaque English using reading tests that were equated for frequency of written exposure. Year 2 English-educated monolingual children were compared with Welsh-educated bilingual chil- dren, matched for reading instruction, background, locale, and math ability. Welsh children were able to read aloud accurately significantly more of their language (61% of tokens, 1821 types) than were English children (52% tokens, 716 types), allowing them to read aloud beyond their compre- hension levels (168 vs. 116%, respectively). Various observations suggested that Welsh readers were more reliant on an alphabetic decoding strategy: word length determined 70% of reading latency in Welsh but only 22% in English, and Welsh reading errors tended to be nonword mispro- nunciations, whereas English children made more real word substitutions and null attempts. These findings demonstrate that the orthographic transparency of a language can have a profound effect on the rate of acquisition and style of reading adopted by its speakers. Systems that are noisy and inconsistent are harder to sort out than systems that are reliable and categorical. There is now a large body of research demonstrating that greater ambiguity in the mappings between the forms and functions of a particular language causes less successful learning because of a larger degree of competition among the cues in the learning set (Bates & MacWhinney, 1987; MacWhinney, 1987).
