Hi all,
At the moment the Wednesday evening meetup is sticking to this time (8.30) and place (Big Society) - one of me or Sam will post if that’s going to change. It’s also worth maybe letting us know if you’re coming, especially for first time, so we can look out for you
It’s been really great to have SSIW folks along - we’ve had nights with 5 which is gwych!
Would anyone be up for a Saturday daytime coffee and natter sometime?
I can’t this week - inset day at school. Every time I say it the kids hurl themselves into a full on debate on what an insect day entails. Planning on joining in on Thursday though!
It occurred to me that I won’t make this Thursday’s meet up because I need to be in Surrey I am pretty rusty after half term because the kids won’t let me listen to ssiw in the car … despite also frequently complaining about the fact that they aren’t learning Welsh like their cousin
Oh, that’s a pity! Do you think you’ll be able to make it the following week or is it looking as if Thursday’s might be problematic? Laura has suggested a Saturday panad+sgwrs but I guess that could be diifficult for you.
Thankfully it’s a one-off this Thursday, and I should be back to sgwrsing up a storm next week! Saturdays are not great for me, unfortunately, given the children’s busy social lives and increasing sporty commitments. I am mostly a gwasanaeth tacsi
Hi all,
A quick bump about tonight’s meeting in Big Society at 8.30!
I spotted a myfyrwraig in college today with a Welsh dictionary and grammar book and was able to use the immortal ‘Dych chi’n siarad Cymraeg?!’ from across the corridor - started a really nice chat about learning and have (hopefully) helped a new learner meet some speakers!
As @Laura_P_87 says we had a new person along last night - Welsh being only 1 of their 4 or 5 languages!
We’re trying to find out a place to watch the rygbi on Saturday but since England are playing at the same time, it may be hard to find anywhere showing it…any ideas welcome!
The Thursday evening group have found a pub in Oxford that won’t be showing the England game that clashes with Wales tomorrow! We’ll be meeting from 2pm in the Marsh Harrier, Marsh Road if anyone fancies joining.
In previous years Cymdeithas Dafydd ap Gwilym included watching Wales rugby matches in the Royal Blenheim on their term card, but this year they’ve only included football - od iawn!
I probably can’t make it this coming week. There is a slight chance that y dyn sy’n trwsio peiriannau gwnïo (the sewing machine repair man) might come early enough on Thursday for me to get a bus to Oxford, but it is not very likely.

Morning all! Didn’t make it last week due to sick child (don’t feel too sympathetic, it seems it was a Halloween Haribo overload…) and now I’m catching up with all the things that had to be put off because of it! I’m scribbling out today and Thursday and giving myself a nice long run up to next week.
Until then, I’m having ALL the Haribo…
