2nd thoughts, possibly not Francos as it is more of a restaurant. Glenda and I might have a look around over the weekend. Any excuse for a trip to Aberavon

Hi Carin Iām in Margam, Iād be more than happy to meet in The Twelve Nights, Margam Dear or Francoās. Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays (evenings) are usually good for me. Happy to āhangoutā in Slack too. Helen

Hi John, Remoās is another option for Aberavon. It can get a bit noisy on times, but the evenings, around 7pm, this time of year are not too bad. Helen

FYI Been to The Margam Dear this afternoon for lunch, and the music is very loud plus 2 TV screens going. Not sure what the evening would be like say mid-week? Twelve Nights is roomy - most times and days ok for me, just let me know. Thanks

Yes its on the front, there is plenty of room, its quiet, they do a nice coffee, or you could have a drink if you wanted.
The group that meets on a Friday is an experienced welsh speaking group that have been meeting for a long time, they used to meet in Remos but found it too noisy.
If we could get a beginners group meet, then after we felt more confident with speaking we could maybe ask some of them to join us once in a while to encourage us and give us more confidence to speak
I can do any day other than a Wednesday in the day, and any night other than a Friday, or Saturday.
Good morning all, I am also living in Port Talbot and I started the course about 9 months ago. Iām really enjoying but unfortunately donāt get to use it daily due to lack of welsh speakers in the area. I would love to use it more often.

Sorry should have been ādonāt let thatā¦ā

Ok ā¦ for an evening meet, how about a Monday evening starting the 25th Feb meet at The Aberavon Beach Hotel for 6.30 - 7pm? (Iām away this Monday)
For an afternoon meet we could start Wednesday 20th say for 12.30pm ?
Both open to location day/time change if not convenient, just throwing it out there to get something sorted.
Iām free to attend both evening and daytime meets 
Wish we could do a poll on hereā¦can we? If not itād be good if you could say when you can meet up.
Diolch
PS. Perhaps we should all wear a daffy so we know each other lol

Hi Caz & All.
Given a 100% choice Iād go for Wed eve or Thurs Eve, but Monday Evening would be OK.
As I said, donāt worry too much about me, as I get chance to talk Welsh on a fairly regular basis anyway. So, the main thing is that you all get together, whenever you can make it.
Edit: Hi @toni-matthews . To be honest I thought the same about the lack of Welsh speakers. But Iām surprised at how many of my friends and acquaintances turned out to be secret speakers (well a few anyway), although admittedly it did take me several months to suss them out.

I can do a Wed evening John, so if itās easier for others fine with me too.
See what the others say and weāll go from there?
So votes please and we can get a regular meeting starting in Port Talbot for us SSIW learners.

Yes, Wed eve sounds great. Itās 50/50 if I can make next Wednesday, but the one after should be definitely ok.

Helo,
I would prefer to meet in the day time, but cannot do a Wednesday, Monday 25th would be ok for a first meeting, but I do not think I would be able to meet every Monday. But if that is when people want to meet thats fine, I could come when I could.

Yes, I think it would be good for you to pick a mutually suitable day and time. As I said, donāt miss out because of me, as Iām ok with finding Welsh speakers anyway. Obviously Iād be happy to come along though.

Iām really variable with the days and evenings I can do, because although I only work 3 days a week, I donāt work set days every week. Iāll do my very best to make the first meet up on Monday 25th Feb though. Iām working all day but I will try to make it by 6.30pm. I do a class with my teenage daughter in the Aberavon Fitness Centre just next door to the hotel at 8pm on a Monday/Wednesday so meeting in the hotel is great for me. Helen
