Just imagine this place in the centre of Cernarfon and right opposite the castle as a national centre for SSiW!
We could have offices, Bootcamp facilities and a party venue rolled in to one! How amazing would that be?!

And I think that pink bedroom would give me nightmares
Walked past that when we were up there last week, and I was thinking what a fabulous building it was. If anyone here wins the lottery this week they need to buy this for SSiW!

Clearly the pink bedroom would be Jamesā special punishment if he spoke English at bootcampā¦

Thereās posh! Is that really the price, Ā£525,000? I mean itās more than pocket money, but in Oxford or London, that would barely buy you a two-up, two down!
Just needs a few London Welsh families to sell up and move back to Godās own country and buy it jointly ā¦

I was looking at that building yesterday, thereās police parking across the road (or was). Them photos of the inside look amazing, fair play, but weād need a bigger dining table.

Looked on line Ā£550,000 for 3 bed end of terrace in E5. So, one London Welsh family could afford it, but wouldnāt be so daft as to take on the overheads, surely? ps I think thatās Hackney which was pretty down market in my day!
Is this do-able? Are there lessons to be learned from the Wrecsam Saith Seren exercise? (Iāve got plenty of questions - sadly few answers 
)

Ahhhhhhhhhh, I just love fantasising about this kind of thing!
Itās a magnificent building in such an interesting place and it obviously has so much scope and potential! It will be interesting to see what happens to it!

Lovely buildingā¦
But putting in the computer cabling, hiding it behind the skirting boards and redecoration will be a complete nightmare.
And all the cleaning on the last morning of bootcamp?
And the heating costsā¦?!

What cleaning? If you share a bootcamp with the amazing @joanalciati she will do all the cleaning while the rest of you are out in the club till the early hours.

@CatrinLliarJones I asked Emma and her brother to guess how much: they said between 1 and 2.5 millionā¦based on Cardiff prices!
That is an amazing building! Imagine a noson lawen with the gallery filled! We could host a live link to the online Eisteddfod. Be like a SSiW Llangollen.
So how many of us are there? I have Ā£25, sooo nearly there right?

East London is a different beast these days. Shabby chic is the phrase I think. My brother lived in Old Street, then Bow and now Walthamstow (E17, he gets very bored with me a Christmas when I keep asking if he wants to āstay another dayā). All have been gentrified. Now Peckham is listed as one of the most desirable places to live (according to London lovers, not for me) and Brixton is also very desirable. i remember Brixton not being a place weād even consider visiting.
I remember being in Brixton at 8pm on a cold autumn evening in the 90s. Iād just started a BSL courseā¦ I never went back to that courseā¦
