It was fun.  I think we ended up with a couple of crosses, an image of St.
David on a hill, a silver dove and a rampaging dragon all on a blue
background.  The situation has never been resolved, and has probably
spurred the growth of several fundamentalist movements favouring crowded
flags.  ;^)

The archive I have is on paper, and rather large; I don't know if any of
the others have it saved more conveniently.  My bet would be that Andrew
has it in a computer somewhere.  I also have a Brithenig-English/
English-Brithenig lexicon, a preliminary Brithenig grammar and a Kernu
grammar (with texts and lexicon).
