Quite a bitterly Cold day but it did not stop an huge number of people turning out for such an important commemoration for an execellent day of numerous events and activities. Before I go on to describe a word about the three pictures below, unfortunatly I forgot to make notes so my information will be incomplete. The cabinet with the brick and picture therein is near the Cafetaria in Asda close by to Tonypandy, the first picture explains much so I will just provide info on the photo of the lady with child in the cabinet. She is the grandmother of Bill Richards who donated the brick for the display, she worked in the Brickworks and at just age 16 she lost her arm in the industrial process of producing the bricks but went on to have six children.
Such is the stoic heroism of the women of the mining communities as represented by the statue installation close to Asda well worth making a journey to see, an excellent memorialisation of a Mining Community family:
*
The Pandy Hotel in Tonypandy
*
Tonypandy Riots Exhibition in Tonypandy Riot.
There was also a large pavillion pitched in near by car park in which a number of local socities and groups had stalls, of which I forgot to take photos of. Now how did I manage that?

Lantern Parade from Tonypandy to the Asda Car park
The Day concluded with an evening open air concert on the Asda Car Park, a bit too colf for myself to me hanging around, so back to The Pandy for a Pint well two! Then off and away over the Mountain back to Merthyr, all in all a very good day, if no politics involved but that's alright by me on this occaision of the 100th Anniversary commemoration but no reason why more political Commemorations annot be held in years to come? Maybe an annaual Commemorative Red Remembrance
College Day with talks, seminars and workshops if prolonged to a weekend event. All part of advancing radical struggle, not least Red Resistence Against Acts of Aggression by the Tories upon Wales, our Communities and People, now that really would be a great tribute to those who fought so couragously againsts tyrrany and oppression during the Cambrian Lock Out 1910 - 11.
