I have filled in the Doodle poll !
I passed the Head of the River on the bus today, and I saw that one tent has been reinstated - but not near the river. I await further developments with interest.

Helo bawb - same pattern as usual for our meetups in the first week of February (if anyone finds these days/times awkward, do please let me know 
). We’ll be seated in the open air again on Friday but we may be outside the Slug & Lettuce as last week, or outside the Head of the River again, where they seem to be putting back the tents/umbrellas they removed previously - we’ll confirm which of the two venues during the week
- 12:00 Tuesday 1st February / dydd Mawrth 1af Chwefror - dydd Santes Dwynwen (via Zoom - let me know if you’d like to join us but don’t yet have the login details)
- 12:00 Friday 4th February / dydd Gwener 4edd Chwefror (venue to be confirmed)
Hwyl a chadw’n saff

The forecast is currently saying 30% chance of rain on Friday. Of course, this may change. If it does rain, and if the tents and umbrellas stay, then Head of the River might be a better choice. Perhaps?
Sue
Yes, let’s settle on Head of the River, then, for the meetup this Friday, 4th Feb

Helo bawb - outside the Head of the River on Friday there was loud music from speakers next to the tent which, being sunny, didn’t really bother us as we were able to sit at a table well away from it. Next Friday’s weather forecast however implies a possibility of rain, so we may need to choose another venue for this Friday:
- 12:00 Tuesday 15th February / dydd Mawrth 15ed Chwefror (via Zoom - let me know if you’d like to join us but don’t yet have the login details)
- 12:00 Friday 18th February / dydd Gwener 18eg Chwefror (venue to be confirmed)
Let me know if you have any questions
