A group of us are trying to start regular meet ups in Gloucestershire. Here’s the first which I probably won’t make but others will so I am posting on their behalf. Follow the link:

Bore da, cwrtogwen-bythesea,
might you have any details of Gloucestershire meet-ups other than the couple I’ve currently organised (High Orchard, Gloucester, 22 November, 1 pm; the Lockkeepers, Gloucester, 11 December, 11 am)?
Just in case we’re overlapping each other
Fi
Hi Fi, no i haven’t as that’s my “name” on here. I need to get it changed to my actual name not part of my email address.
However i still need to contact the person who organised meet ups in Gloucester before the lockdowns and on the latest postcard list there is a new member in Trefynwy (Monmouth) so i willl send a card to him about our meet ups.
Andy Woolley
Thanks, Andy (and apologies for my late reply). Forest of Dean isn’t very easy for me to get to, as I don’t have a car. I hope the meeting went well. I’ll look out for other events I can get to more easily.

Hi Steve, I’m organising a meet up at the Lockkeepers in Gloucester on Friday, 13 May, 11 am if you are free and want to join us. We are a friendly core group of mixed levels’ speaking. My email is fibenson@gmail.com if you have queries or want to let me know if you can join us or not. Fi
I’ve received an email from @fi-benson to say that these Fforest o Ddena (Forest of Dean), Caerloyw (Gloucester) Meetups are still continuing, which is great news!
The next meetup is TOMORROW, 10 November, at the Lock Keepers, Horseshoe Drive, Over GL2 8DB
If you have any questions about these meetups, it’s best to contact Fi directly - fibenson [AT] gmail [dot] com - just put that together to create her email address.
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Deborah.
