Oxford Welsh learners group

I would struggle to commit to an evening sadly so wont offer any time suggestions. Sadly I wont be at Friday’s meeting as Liam’s nursery has been shut for 2 weeks (so that will probably rule out next Friday as well :cry: )

It now looks as if I can be there tomorrow after all. It might be a good exercise for me to try to explain.

Sorry I won’t be on zwm tomorrow- my son is on annual leave and we are going on a day trip! I prefer day time meetings but might be able to do an occasional evening zwm meeting. Bethan

I have just put my suggestion there for 13 September.

Helo pawb - it’s the same pattern as usual for this week’s Zoom meetups (let me know if you need login details)

  • 10:30am Wednesday 9th September
  • 12:00 Friday 11th September

See question below, however. An occasional Zoom evening meetup may be possible for Owen, Sue, Bethan and me, so if you haven’t been able to join us for any of our meetups during the day we might be able to arrange the odd evening one if that fits better with your schedule :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve been enjoying the series “Am Dro” on S4C - people chatting in Welsh while walking through some spectacular scenery. And a fair amount of niwl a glaw!

I’ve recorded Am Dro but this encourages me now to actually watch it! :slightly_smiling_face:

Am Dro is great. Naturally they mix people with very different ideas about walks and picnics in order to make better TV. Very interesting.

Yes, we do, twice a week via Zoom. :slightly_smiling_face: At the moment it’s from 1030am on Wednesdays and from 12noon on Fridays, although we may be changing the Wed meetup to Tuesday lunchtime. Let me know if you’d like to join a Zoom meetup and I’ll send you the login details via PM.
We’ve also had some walks in Port Meadow, Wytham Wood, and Radley over the last couple of months providing a chance for us to practise some (socially-distanced :slightly_smiling_face:) Welsh
Hwyl, John
