Not sure yet whether I’ll be able to make it, but I’ll confirm one way or another tomorrow morning

johnwilliams_6 · June 28, 2019, 8:15am

Sorry, I’m not going to be able to make it today - got some sort of bug and was hoping it might have cleared by up this morning, but seems not

RichardBuck · June 28, 2019, 8:26am

Brysia wella!

Betterlatethan · June 28, 2019, 11:33am

Gobeithio y byddi di’n well yn fuan, @johnwilliams_6.
Wnes i ddarllen llyfr yn y caffi am hanner awr. 'S dim ots, ces i’r cyfle i fynd i M&S i brynu sanau. Mae’n ddrwg 'da fi os rhywun wedi dod yn hwyrach ar ol i fi fynd.

I hope you’ll be better soon, John.
I read a book in the cafe for half an hour. It’s OK, I got the chance to go to M&S to buy socks. I’m sorry if someone came later after I went.
Sue

RichardBuck · June 28, 2019, 12:00pm

I did – but don’t be sorry: it’s my fault and I’m sorry I missed you. (I was just about to leave when I had to write a long reply on the forum about grammar, and that delayed me… )

Wednesday evening 3 July 8.30pm in James Street Tavern , James St., East Oxford (check first with @s-coates1)

Hwyl, John

Betterlatethan · July 3, 2019, 6:31am

Sorry everyone, I can’t make it to the King’s Arms today. I’ve got a nasty cold.
Sue

johnwilliams_6 · July 3, 2019, 6:41am

Oh, bad luck Sue - hope you’re feeling better soon

Betterlatethan · July 4, 2019, 4:34pm

Thanks, @johnwilliams_6
I’m still coughing and sneezing so I shall not be there on Friday. I have a meeting on Wednesday 10th so I can’t come then either. Hoping for Friday 12th.
Sue

johnwilliams_6 · July 4, 2019, 4:46pm

Get well soon, Sue, and see you on Fri 12th, croesi bysedd

I’ll be there in Café Bap tomorrow and maybe Clive, now he’s back from France - who else is thinking of going?
Hwyl, John

RichardBuck · July 4, 2019, 4:51pm

I’m expecting to be there, too.

johnwilliams_6 · July 5, 2019, 8:06pm

Helo Oxford folk (i.e. @cat-1 @RichardBuck @Betterlatethan @rebecca @rachaelseculer-faber @jane-18 @bethan-williams-1 @mouselovinlady @Laura_P_87 @chris-roberts, anyone else I might have inadvertently omitted and any potential newcomers)!
Our current meetup days/times/venues might not work very well for some of you, so if you’d like to come along but the current schedule doesn’t suit or if you’d prefer a different format, do please do let me know either via this thread or by personal message (PM) - don’t be shy! Happy to make adjustments so that as many as possible have the chance to practise some Cymraeg (If you’d prefer to email me or phone, do say and I’ll send you a PM, i.e. personal message, with my contact details)

Also, with the approaching school holidays potentially making it difficult for those of you with kids - what about a parents+kids meetup somewhere where the kids can enjoy themselves while you get the chance to practice a bit of Cymraeg? Do post a message to let others know if that appeals.

Hwyl, John

bethan-williams-1 · July 6, 2019, 3:04pm

Helo, I’m just back from lovely holiday. Very sorry you are not well Sue, hope you will be better soon. I’m hoping to make it to King’s Arms on Wednesday 10th and also to cafe Bap on Friday. Looking forward to seeing you all. Hwyl Bethan

johnwilliams_6 · July 8, 2019, 9:17am

Wednesday morning, 10 July from 10:30am in the King’s Arms, Holywell Street
Wednesday evening 10 July 8.30pm in James Street Tavern , James St., East Oxford (check first with @s-coates1)
Friday morning, 12 July from 10:30am in Café Bap, Abingdon Rd

Hwyl, John

thomasd · July 9, 2019, 9:05pm

I’ve been doing the course for a few weeks and still very much a beginner, but I should be in town on Friday, so hoping to drop by Café Bap and try to remember a few words!

Betterlatethan · July 10, 2019, 7:24am

Hello @thomasd, great to hear from you.
Since there are only two tables in Cafe Bap, you should have no difficulty in finding the group.
I was hoping to be there, but it is uncertain as I am still coughing and wheezing.
Sue

johnwilliams_6 · July 10, 2019, 8:09am

Helo @thomasd - good to hear from you! We’ll be looking forward to seeing you on Friday if you can make it
Hwyl, John

thomasd · July 10, 2019, 8:21am

Diolch yn fawr iawn for the welcome! Hope you feel better soon @Betterlatethan.

johnwilliams_6 · July 11, 2019, 4:47pm

Helo pawb - A quick reminder about tomorrow’s meetup in Cafe Bap from 10.30am onwards. Hope to see you there
Hwyl, John

thomasd · July 12, 2019, 3:10pm

Thanks all for the welcome this morning. I hope to be back in a couple of weeks – perhaps with a few more words of Welsh under my belt
