Hello Iestyn. The bookwhen site does not recognise my email address. Should my email address and password be the same for bookwhen as it is for logging into my ssiw account? Just doing a trial run so that I know I can log in to hopefully secure a place on the April bwtcamp. Diolch, Vanessa
Helo Iestyn, would you be able to give me a faint idea, which weeks you are thinking of having potential other bootcamps? I have to plan a lot further ahead than a few weeks and seem to miss all of them, just because my time is already booked up by the time you have the information out… I might be able to “save” a week for it, if I know long in advance. Thank you very much, Ingrid
I’d definitely like to attend Clare
Then please make sure that you register and pay on the Bookwhen site at 9 pm (UK Time) on Friday 17th as described in Iestyn’s post above.
Places go very quickly, but there is currently no fair alternative.
A very quick note, as I have to be somewhere in a few minutes!
For anyone worried about the process tonight, I shall update you about how it will work when I’m back from my meeting, but you do not have to log in to the Bookwhen site. The login at the top of the page is for administrators, not for people wanting to book.
I shall be back later!
I’m not sure that there is a fair alternative to first come, first served. It’s either this, or we have some kind of battle royale outside of Aberystwyth.
Right here we are!
What happens when the clock strikes nine tonight…
- Go to Bookwhen.com/ssiw
- You don’t need to ‘log in’ (the ‘log in’ is for administrators)
- You should see just April’s bwtcamp on one line under ‘chedule’ on the left, and whole load of information about the April bwtcamp on the right (this is for desk top computers - mobile apps may be a bit different)
- At 9 o’clock, a booking button will appear, I think by the ‘ticket’ information at the bottom of the right hand column
- At the same time, the number of bookings will appear in the schedule. If this suddenly starts saying ‘3/10’ etc, then booking is in progress - best find the button quickly!
- To guarantee your place, you will need to pay the full amopunt (sorry about that)
- If you see that the event is full before you’ve booked, then let us know here, so that we can staert an ‘unofficial waiting list’.
- There will be more bwtcamps during the year, and if I see someone who has missed out in the rush on a few occasions, then I will make sure that you do get booked onto a Bwtcamp, so don’t lose heart.
Ever!
I’ll see you all ‘on the other side’.
DaveHedgehog - I’ve just written (before seeing your post) that I generally try to make sure that people who don’t get a place on a few occasions get booked on a bwtcamp sooner or later. Whether my ways of doing that are ‘fair’ I don’t know.
In fact, we could have a pre bwtcamp meeting of all interested parties, and the ten people standing by the end get to attend. I like your style, sir!
Now I come to think of it, we could seel the rights to S4C. Probably more compelling that tipit…
Wow - 22:02 and it is fully booked… incredible…
All booked in! I’ll see whoever else manages to book in April. It’s Darren, not Dave.
Cannot believe I missed out within 1 minute!
yep was fully booked before 9.01. Literally all booked in seconds.
They went so quickly! Hope for the next one!
Not sure I can get my fingers to work any faster! But I’l try again next time.
Well, my finger was on the keyboard at 9:00:01… I am so much looking forward to it! But I do feel sorry for you, that didn’t make it…
To all those who made it in - have a great time! It had already sold out and the clock on my computer was still on 21:00.
Wow - I think that was the most imtense booking session I’ve ever seen. There was no-one, then there were ten people puttingin their details, literally within seconds.
Those who were succesful wuill get an email next week with your first task (come on - it’s a bwtcamp, time for you to get working!)
For the rest of you - please tell me here that you missed out and want to a) be on any waiting list and b) want to go on a Bwtcamp even if your mouse finger is off the nono-scale of speed.
I’m afraid I’m busy over the weekend, but I’ll be here next week, with a new Bwtcamp date.
Diolch i bawb. Congratulations to those who got in, and for those who didn’t, there’s more opportunities on the way!

Hi Iestyn, Please add me to the waiting list and if I’m unsuccessful I’ll just have to try for a bwtcamp later in the year.
@Iestyn don’t know what I did wrong as I was there on time and it said booking cannot be accepted. Really disappointed. if anyone drops our please let me know. We are walking in North Wales the two weeks before so i can just travel down, even at short notice
@Iestyn - please could you add @peter-lockyer to the waiting list, he wants to go on Bwtcamp - I was supposed to book his place for him but was not quite quick enough on the draw! Thank you.
