Yes, we didnât use the Canolradd book for an online course with the language centre either. They provided their own materials. On the other hand the Uwch 1 book was essential for the courses with Abertawe, and Caerdydd says that we must have Uwch 2 and preferably in hard copy. I am hoping to get by with my electronic copy but we shall see.
Would anyone else like the Canolradd book?

Helo bawb - no surprises, this weekâs meetups will be following the same pattern as last week :
-
12:00 Tuesday 14th September / dydd Mawrth 14eg Medi (via Zoom - contact me for login details)
-
12:00 Friday 17th September/ dydd Gwener 17eg Medi (âBroad Meadowâ will probably have reverted to being just another part of Broad Street by the beginning of October but weâll keep this as our venue until then - youâll find it just opposite Balliol College. If it looks like being wet weâll go to somewhere under cover instead - Iâll post a message on Friday morning if thatâs the case )
Hwyl a chadwân iach

PS A walk+sgwrs is planned for Sun 19th - keep an eye on the Oxford walks thread for updates

Lovely to see everyone in town this lunchtime. I mentioned that the City Council is running a consultation on Broad Meadow, so if youâve enjoyed having the space, or if you think it could be improved, hereâs the place to say so! The consultation is open till 29 October.

Oxford City Council is to extend Broad Meadow until 10 October 2021: https://www.oxford.gov.uk/news/article/1977/broad_meadow_to_stay_until_october
I wonât be able to join you tomorrow, although I might see you, because Iâll be supporting the school climate strike which starts at 1 oâclock in Broad Street (but which end, I donât know!)

Sudden urgent need to go to Abingdon on retirement group business. Iâll get to Oxford afterwards if I can.

Helo bawb - the weatherâs suddenly looking quite promising for the Broad Meadow meetup this lunchtime, as is the forecast - so hope to see you there!
Hwyl, John
JCB at work in Broad Meadow this lunchtime - turns out that when Oxford Council said:
Some of the smaller elements of Broad Meadow will be relocated to accommodate the Arts Market, ahead of the site being returned to its previous state starting on 11 October.
⌠they meant carrying the benches away
I went to Abingdon - and discovered too late that the âurgentâ errand was completely unnecessary. On to Oxford. Went to Broad Meadow and found only men removing seating. Went to Slug and Lettuce and nobody there either. Came home.

I was walking up and down in Broad Meadow, Sue, but I didnât manage to spot you so I headed off home just after 12:45
Thatâs a shame. I looked all round and did not see you. Never mind.

Helo bawb - we have a new venue this week with the demise of Broad Meadow but times/days stay the same
-
12:00 Tuesday 5th October / dydd Mawrth 5ed Hydref (via Zoom - do say if youâd like to join us but donât yet have the login details)
-
12:00 Friday 8th October/ dydd Gwener 8ed Hydref (NB Change of venue to outside tables of the Castle Quarterâs Slug & Lettuce/Yr Wlithen a Letysen)
As colder weather
begins to encroach weâll need to start thinking about potential indoor venues for face to face meetups - suggestions welcome!
. In the past weâve used pubs (
The Royal Blenheim, The Kingâs Arms, The Turf Tavern ) and and cafes (
Jericho Cafe, MOMA, Ashmolean Museum, New Bodleian Library and the now sadly shut
Cafe Bap ).
