Meet-ups! On hold

Between the floods and the snow and the virus, it seems I’m barely to be allowed out of my house this year. The list of missed Welsh-language events is mounting. Thank heavens for Skype, and those kind and patient people who suffer me electronically!

(Perhaps this is a good time to do an extra-special promotion for WLP?)

WLP?? - Typo for WSP?

That’s what I meant! What the heck is WLP? :joy:
Welsh Language Practice? Welsh Laughing Practice? Word Location Practice, perhaps - I could do with some of that!

(Very kind of you to cal it a typo, btw @HuwJones. I’m afraid it was a braino.)

…… and, whenever I am fortunate to have that pleasure myself it inspires me to sing abandonly afterwards. Though it is generally Max Boyce like songs such as ‘Duw it’s hard, yes it’s hard, it’s harder than they will ever know’!

You’ll note I only thanked the ‘kind and patient’ people… :wink:

I have updated the information in this thread, to include the latest information from the government.

After reading the April Bootcamp thread (still going ahead at the moment) I found myself thinking about our “bŵtcamp” cancellation in the north. The vast majority of the “gofid-19” (19 people feeling grief and sorrow. :thinking: :roll_eyes: :wink: sorry @Isata, I couldn’t resist) are still adamant that we’ve taken the correct course of action for the health and wellbeing of each other and others around us. We will be rebooking but not until the situation vastly improves for us in the UK and for those visiting from overseas.

I must say though that one of the driving factors in making the decision at the time was that the final payment for our accomodation was due today. So, do we be wise and lose £41 each now or take the risk and lose £123 each plus possible travel tickets, etc. that would come with a last minute cancellation. That’s maybe something that the Tresaith crew won’t have to deal with, I don’t know.

Paid â ymddiheuro! The world deserves to hear that pun, Geraint. My only disappointment is that I didn’t think of it first. :frowning:

I don’t get it :disappointed::confused:

I even explained it in the post, #1 in the “how not to comedy” hand book. :wink::grinning:

Geraint, I just wanted to attempt to give you some comfort and say that I admire the tough decision you guys made. I know full well how much time, effort and emotion went in to organising this Bootcamp and how much each and every one of you were looking forward to it. I know that you thought long and hard about what to do, that you spent hours agonising about the decision, discussing with others and battling back and forth between your head and your heart.

Considering the situation we now find ourselves in, I support your decision 100%. None of us know the end story. None of us know how challenging things are likely to get. We’re looking towards countries like Italy and bracing ourselves for difficult times head.

It is likely had you continued, you would have found yourselves having to cancel last minute or that travel, by then, was greatly restricted. You might also have found that many businesses would have been restricted/closed and your experience greatly affected because of the limited the activities available to you.

How about you guys keep open threads of communications between yourselves? Arrange hangouts for the week that would have been your Bootcamp week? Then what about vowing to pull together to make the next one more epic than anything you could have ever imagined - it will give you something quite special to look forward to.

I second that! Diolch o galon, Geraint, for all your hard work. It would have been an amazing week - and in the future, it still will.

…Now you’ve got even more time to work on it - can’t wait to see what you come up with! :wink:

It would have been perfect, no need to improve on it for next time.

Well, maybe include some cake related activities.

I liked it better when I was one of the mojito-10

A big diolch from me too Geraint and I have faith it will happen sometime!

Oh, it will. I’m already thinking though that next spring might be better than this autumn but we’ll see.

There’s an even more exclusive group … those that are in both. I’m not sure how many of us can say that. :grinning:

You’re a rock, ychan :star:

By the way, I now actually get the pun. My aging eyes read the key phrase as “gold 19” but, on reading @KateM 's post I saw what it atually was.
Yeah, that’s good enough to be one of mine, chware teg. :clap:

Please note that the Liverpool group has suspended meetings for the time being. We will use our current thread to post any further news.
