TThe Craft…
The new craft, Cymru 4, is on the drawing board as we speak. Well more of a sort of cigarette packet than a drawing board. But things ARE moving fast. We’re going to put a sharper point on the front of this one, and possibly some sort of lavatory for the crew. From our last radio contact with Dilwyn on Cymru 3, he said spirit dispensing optics just don’t work in the micro gravity of space, so we’re looking at some sort of alcohol pump for this one.
The Mission…
We are currently recruiting (with no great success I might add) for the Cymru 4 mission. It’s very exciting and you may just want to get involved. You see, we are planning to create the very first Welsh colony in space. We were going to go for Uranus, but someone pointed out that it might be a bit too mushy to land there, and also it sounds rude and we don’t want any of that! Luckily Uranus has got a nice moon called “Miranda” (yes, really. And one called “Puck”. And Bianca – you couldn’t make it up!), so we’re going there instead.
Anyway, it’s one of those “the animals came in two by two” sort of things. So just like in the bible story, we need 2 of everything. We’ll need 2 butchers, 2 welders, 2 window salespeople, 2 tv newsreaders etc., We’ll make do with just the one farmer thanks. We’ve got someone called Joanna from Cardiff coming along, a retired sheep dipper called Hywel, and we could do with a few more in case someone gets cold feet. So if you’re interested, drop us a line at the WASA address. But do bear in mind, it’s cold this time of year so appropriate footwear would be advised. Also a parka if you’ve got one. A fondness of hard licquor may also be advantageous. Oh! and you’ll need a funnel. Don’t forget to say what you’re 2 of.
Training…
at the White Lion, Cerrigydrudion starts 7.30 prompt next Tuesday. Bring 50p’s for the pool table.
Fund raising…
Cerrigydrudion Merched y Wawr made a fantastic effort and raised £330.25 on their tombola stall, and Eryl from the White Lion also gave us £10. Keep that cash rolling in.

Biscuit Sponsorship Announced
Island Bakery Organics of the Isle of Mull in Scotland, are rumoured to be about to think about announcing themselves as sponsors of the Cymru IV mission to Miranda. The sponsorship package, said to amount to a whole display box of their new Chocolate Limes* may well be winging it’s way to WASA HQ right now.
It’s a well known fact that it was their Organic Oat Crumbles that kept Dilwyn and Megan going so well for so long on our Cymru III mission. So we look forward to another mission success** built on quality biccies, welsh tea, special brew beer and fags (and some winalot for Meg).
*it might not be either
** or failure
