I had one reply from a gentleman who left a message on my phone to say he had no association with anything Welsh and did not know how his name got on to the SSIW website. I am now following a link to some probable Welsh speakers in Desborough - will follow this up and report on any results.
Can we get a group set up in Northampton?
How peculiar - could you let us know who it was (via private message if youād prefer) so that we can make sure that his details are fully removed from the site?
Have you tried using the Amikumu app to see if you can find any Welsh speakers in the area? I know a recent participant in a 5-day intensive course who lives in Northampton uses it, and heās keen to speak with others. He doesnāt seem to be here on the forum though.
Thereās nothing happening in Northampton yet that I know of, but I can put a note in Tuesdayās newsletter if you like and see if thereās anyone interested now
Iām not in Northampton, but am close (MK). Iād be interested depending on when and where.
Some of the Coventry/Rugby group might be interested - Coventry isnāt a million miles away! @TrevorJones2 @mintonman @david-davies @lornarhodes
I live about 40 mins away from Northampton by car (Southam) so would love to hear how this develops. Saturdays would be best for me and Iām afraid Iād probably be a part timer (seem to spend a lot of time as Dadās taxi service at the moment!)
Incidentally @Leeharper1 @aaltinaharminawalker from our experience in the Coventry group, if there are still two of you I would still recommend going ahead with the meetups. We had two people for a long time and it was actually very helpful because you then get one-to-one conversation practice for the whole session and you canāt switch off. Once it got about that there was a regular meeting, new people started to come.
Dear Northampton learners, Have you seen Glynn Hughesās forum thread?
https://forum.saysomethingin.com/t/any-learners-in-northants
Glynn and I are meeting up on the 13th August down my way (Harlington, Beds) for a walk followed by the village pub, but our next meet up with by Northamptonshire. Youāre welcome to join us on 13th if you fancy it.
If you ever arrange something for North Northamptonshire please let me know. Iām Leicester based, so Beds is probably a bit too far for me
Jan, Is there still a group that meets in MK?
Glynn from Northamptonshire and I met in MK and have posted a link to the details of our next meet up below.
Dunstable is a bit too far away for me (I am 83 now) but if a group were started in Northampton I would definitely be interested in joining.
