Bridgend (Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr) monthly meetups

KitschLorraine · November 24, 2021, 2:57pm

Hi, I’m visiting Wales next week so will miss the second Saturday in December. Do you know of other meet-ups nearby where I can try out my Welsh on real people? I’ll be staying in Cowbridge and Bridgend and Cardiff are about my limit… Any suggestions welcome x

Hi Kitsch…I think there is a meeting on Sat in Bridgend and Mon in Cardiff. If any good let me know and I’ll double check and get details. As always, open to all levels from zero to hero

Yes, in Bridgend we meet the second Saturday of the month. There’s a group that meets every Friday afternoon - 1:30pm at the leisure centre to go for a walk. This is organised by Menter Bro Ogwr.

Thanks very much, I’ll look up where that is. Not sure of my plans each day yet so will try to work in some Welsh speaking where I can!

Have you noticed there’s another meetup in your area? I’ve just spotted the announcement here on the forum: Cyfarfod Penybont - Bridgend meet up

Thanks for letting me know

Hi all, looks like Il Panino is takeaway only so we’ll be meeting at Aroma (next to Barclays) at 10am tomorrow. Hope to see you there 󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

So there is a meeting tomorrow the 11th? May I come?

ruth-connor · December 11, 2021, 8:54am

Yes they are meeting today at 10 am in Aroma Cafe.

HabibSteele · December 11, 2021, 9:19am

I’m late in getting up as I did not sleep well last night. It’s too late for me to come this month. I hope to come next month.

Do you always meet on the second Saturday of the month?

dryw-bach · December 11, 2021, 9:23am

Yes, it’ll either be at Il Panino or Aroma. Hope to see you then

HabibSteele · December 25, 2021, 8:48pm

So the meet will be on the 8th at 10 am?

dryw-bach · December 30, 2021, 4:58pm

Yes, sorry I’ve only just seen your message

dryw-bach · January 4, 2022, 1:01pm

Il Panino will be closed on Saturday so we’ll meet at Aroma café (next to Barclays) at 10am. We usually try to sit towards the far end where it’s less noisy

HabibSteele · January 7, 2022, 11:03am

I plan to come tomorrow.

dryw-bach · January 7, 2022, 11:46pm

Great! See you there

dryw-bach · April 8, 2022, 5:12pm
