I would also have liked to attend. I was born in the Rhondda, and all my maternal ancestry is in the Vale.
As I live in North Wales, and for other reasons, it's not possible unfortunately.

I was working in Pontypridd a few months ago and the driver who took us out there got lost on the way home. I told him he was going the wrong way as we left Pontypridd; but we got all the way to Merthyr Tydfil before he beleived me. :-D He took us half the night to get home. :-(
