Hello, I haven’t been to the website since it became the new one (a while ago!)…on the old one there was a list of details of social meet ups for those learning cymraeg to practice, does such a list still exist? And if so, lle mae list, os gwelwych yn dda?

A list is usually sent out on on the weekly e-mail Ruth, but the person who produces that is on holiday at the moment, I think. In the meantime, here is a link to the old forum [http://old.saysomethingin.com/welsh/] and here is a list from the e-mail:

*The weekly meet-up at Talysarn is now at The Ex-Servicemen’s Club in Penygroes. LL54 6RN - just in case someone wants to know about that one 
It has been officially amended on the new list.

Is this the one that says “Clwb Bach” in the weekly email? Has it changed venue?
Ex-Servicemen’s Club is its official name, but known by that as well as “Clwb Bach” locally!

There are weekly meetups, Y Cylch Siarad, at the London Welsh Centre at 7.30 (I think) on Thursday evenings after the lessons:
http://www.londonwelsh.org/learn-welsh/y-cylch-siarad/.
Any level of learners can go and you can go along even if you don’t go to the lessons.
Hwyl, John
PS I work part-time in London nr Paddington and would be happy to meetup to practice if that would fit in with you

Shwmae Charlotte!
If I saw this earlier I would’ve got in touch sooner! I noticed you live in Lee, London. My mum lives in Lee also and I’m here now - have been since yesterday! Only thing is I’m heading back home to Cardiff tomorrow morning so it would be a bit late for a meet up and a chat in Cymraeg now I should imagine.
Perhaps next time I’m down this way we could meet for sgwrs Cymraeg dros goffi??
Hope you’re enjoying the SSiWelsh course

Completed the (old) course a couple of years ago I did! Just waiting on Challenge 25 of Level 2 to be published now so I can complete the course guide! Glad to hear you’re loving the course.
