Gwersyll Penychain - I Fonopoli Gyfalafol?

This is the cover of the Welsh version of the leaflet, published in 1940s. The Lleyn Defence Committee published two leaflets, one in Welsh, one in English printed in Caernarfon and priced at twopence.

The Defence Committee was formed in April 1944 in response to the sale by the government of "a tract of Welsh coast to an exploiting Company" without any consultation with the local community. Originally sold to the Admiralty for a Training Camp in 1941, the land at Penychain was proposed to be sold onto Butlin to become one of his holiday camps. The Committee wanted the site to be used for the "best and highest interests of the locality, the county and of Wales with regard to natural beauty, culture and the Christian religion".
