To Promote and Perpetuate
Gypsy and Traveller Communities within Britain

Welcome to *Your* web site! Please look around and make yourself at home. You'll find information about our people and culture, both past and present. Our Library is constantly being updated . Please share any stories, you think others could enjoy. Artists, musicians and poets are invited to step forward for the benefit of all. We have so much to share, both within our communities and without. Here is a good place to start - please join us!

The Board now has a new Moderator and we will be updating all areas of the site ..... We hope to get the site back to its original purpose of promoting and discussing all things "Romany" But of course we are also happy to converse with non Romany folki as I am sure we all have family members from both, so subjects not pertaining to Romany culture or History are also welcome In fact anything that relates, or concerns the human race as a whole.

Memories of a Gypsy

Members Review

by Janna:

"BENEATH THE BLUE SKY"
Dominic Reeve, like a favourite, cantankerous uncle, sits by a smoking fire in a muddy field, relating stories from the past, in a narrative filled with repetitions, digressions, contradictions, prejudices and political asides. With irony and charm, he complains about noisy neighbours, unfriendly pub landlords, Irish Travellers, Gaudji academics, Born Again Christians, and New Age Travellers with their "trinketty colourful and casual living conditions.".....
