[Now fully booked] next northern Bootcamp - 2017 - dates, waiting list

Depends as always on the hunger for it - we always have a moment of ‘do people really want it this year?’ when we open the booking (which usually disappears in a few minutes) - but if we ever do find out that we’ve provided enough to calm the storm, we probably would take a breather…:wink:

But there’s always Tresaith as well, of course! :slight_smile:

The suspense is getting to me! What are the chances of being distracted by a child-induced crisis at exactly 9pm?? :fearful:

Quit high I expect! I’m worrying about whether I can be away from the dog for a week.

I am currently looking around wondering which webcams you’re using to see my family life…:wink:

But despite ongoing child-induced crises, there remains a fighting chance that I’ll have the link ready in the next 3 minutes…!

So, ladies and gentlemen…

The booking link for this year’s northern bootcamp is now live:

https://v1.bookwhen.com/he4qc/201704210000/cae

I’m posting this in here, counting to ten, rolling my eyes at two grumpy children refusing to go to sleep, and then heading off to post the link to this thread on Facebook as well (I always think active forum users deserve a decent head start).

Pob lwc!

Four minutes later, five places gone already!

Yikes! And I was a couple of minutes late posting it, too (by my watch, at any rate!)…

Right, off to Facebook now - hope no forum users are having any connectivity issues…

By the way @aran, on that link, the “contact” tab at the left still gives an address in Mynytho :slight_smile:

Well, @philipnewton, how about a spontaneous undertaking to complete level 1 by Easter?!

That would be quite an adventure!

And probably doable in terms of getting through Level 1 - but I’m not sure whether it would work in terms of time and money this year I’m afraid!

I’m sure it would be a very special experience!

I had some (a lot) of trouble with paypal… How can I make absolutely sure it worked? :smiley:

She certainly is!

And with just a couple of places left, it’s been a little bit less frantic than on previous years, but we have a fascinating new collection of people - so far only one previous northern bootcamper, which is going to be a really interesting change of gear.

@novem - I think it hasn’t, quite, yet - but don’t worry, we’ll hold the place as successfully booked, and we can sort out the payment next week… :slight_smile:

Yes! I just had to put larger child to bed, who had been watching the process with great interest! They are both quite chuffed at the idea actually and are looking forward to me coming home a perfect Welsh speaker! The youngest will be 7 by April, so I think they will be OK. This will be my first Great Escape for 10 years!! Can’t wait!

OK, so who else is coming? :smile:

I am, hopefully :smile:

Oh, this actually works in other people’s houses, does it?!..:wink:

I’m still jumping on and off the sofa for upstairs/downstairs counselling, bribery, diplomacy coupled with the occasional mute, menacing glare.

It’s an honour and privilege to be a First Great Escape moment. When we get our First Great Escape, it is probably not going to be a language course (unless I can find one that does wine tasting at the same time, so I haven’t entirely given up hope)…:wink:
