SIR,

These are exciting times for Plaid Cymru.

Not only are we undertaking an important renewal process to move our party and nation forward, but we'll also be electing a new Plaid leader to succeed Ieuan Wyn Jones in the new year.

Every Plaid member will have a vote to decide who becomes the new leader and I'd like to extend an open invitation to people across Wales to join our party at this important time.

If you love Wales, if you care about our nation's future and want to play a part in making sure Wales moves forward and reaches its potential, then join with me and the thousands of other Plaid members today.

A very warm welcome awaits.

You can join online at http://www.plaidcymru.org/join">www.plaidcymru.org/join or by calling our membership hotline on 02920 472272.

We look forward to having your company in Plaid Cymru and to working together for the good of our nation and its communities.

Dafydd Wigley

(Plaid Cymru Honorary President)
