Armed with copies of the consultation documents and a fully customizable placard (flip chart paper on a stick) Aber activists took to the town centre to exercise their freedom of protest. They invited passers-by to join them and to publicise the issues that matter to them.

The locals' placards covered most issues under the sun from the topical ("Just exercising my right to free assembly") to the local ("Save Cardigan Bay"), sarcastic ("Privatise Protest") to nationalist ("Rhowch cymru nol i'r cymru" which actually translates as 'give Wales back to the Wales' but I think the protester meant "Give Wales back to the Welsh").
