Union Petition for Welsh Team

General Secretary Dr Geraint Tudur has been on radio and television during his 'holidays',  explaining why the Union is asking for a national team to represent Wales at the 2012 London Olympics.

The Independent Union's stance has been supported, condemned, praised and belittled ! (Go to page 2 for a taste of the reaction.)

We are very proud of our athletes who won medals at Beijing (indeed, of all Welsh athletes who competed). But banning them from celebrating their joy at winning by waving their national flag was a great injustice. Wales became an invisible nation. The only answer is to have our own team at the London Olympics, and all games after that. "If you believe that Wales should have a place on the world stage, I invite you to sign this petition" said Dr Geraint Tudur. If you agree, go to the link below :
