The event is a lot of fun and will be rather informal. Live competitions will also take place (details below) as well as the ceremony to crown and chair the winners of the literary competition -for the secondary schools of Wales. Come one and all to take part or to enjoy and socialise!
ADJUDICATORS: Iwan Rhys and Manon Awst

Open solo poetry or monologue
Open singing solo
Public speaking comPetition (subject TBC)
Opne solo instrumental
A piano will be available
If you are interested in competing, please drop me a message or email me at math.roberts@lincoln.ox.ac.uk in order to have an idea of numbers, etc. You are also welcome to offer ideas of other competitions! More info to come later in the week!
Thanks to @johnwilliams_6, @Betterlatethan and Clive for welcoming me to the group at the Kingâs Arms this morning. Good to meet you all. I feel encouraged to make more of an effort with my Welsh. Hope to see you now & then at future meetups, work allowing.
Hi @chris-roberts,
It was great to meet and chat with you. I could understand pretty much everything you said, and that is so encouraging. I hope to see you again soon.

I have a poorly Arthur! I did consider dragging him with me, but maybe you lot donât want to be ill! 
I keep forgetting that parenting is basically a full time job with permanent âon-callâ status, and only limited access to fairy dust! 
At least the other two spoke Welsh to me this morning, although a fair amount of it seemed to revolve around PikachuâŠ
Sorry to miss you all again - try again wythnos nesaf!!

I am planning to go to The Dafyddâs Eisteddfod and sing a song, but Iâm in need of a pianist! Is anyone here a) planning on attending, and b) willing to accompany me (itâs a super easy part)?
I canât make it unfortunately as Iâll be in London, but @RichardBuck might be going. Iâm sure someoneâll volunteer to accompany you there, though, as The Dafydd has several good pianists in its ranks.
Pob lwc gydaâr gĂąn!
Sorry to miss you yet again, @cat-1. I hope to be there next Friday (24th) but I canât manage Wednesday 22nd because I have a shop meeting. I canât come at all the following week, but should be OK for the week after.

Hope you can make it
