Is the next meeting this week, Nic? And did you know that the England’s Glory is closed (a friend was passing today and sent me a photo of the To Let sign outside, so I take it the pub has bitten the dust)?
Hi Steve,
The meeting was on the 9th October (2nd Wednesday of each month) and the pub was open then. Perhaps they closed it because of something I said (yn Gymraeg)! I’ll have a drive past. If that is the case, we’ll have to decide whether to change venues or call it a day. I’ll report back in due course but thanks for alerting me.
Nic
Thanks, Nic. I’ll put the date in the calendar on the phone. Hope you can find another venue, if it is closed. Let me know.
I will be interested in coming when I’m able to. I live in Tetbury and having retired recently I am wanting to learn Welsh properly having not had very good teaching at school in North Wales all those years ago.
Andy Woolley
You will be most welcome, Andy - we meet at 7.30pm on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

Have you seen this thread @AndyWoolley? Tetbury, Gloucestershire - Conversation Group
Francis came to a recent bwtcamp and hasn’t been able to find anyone in Tetbury to practise with.
Thanks- I’ve replied.
I can now answer my own question, “Why not come to the Gloucester Meeting?” And the answer is that our venue has suddenly closed! A convenient and desirable alternative is not immediately obvious and so, for now at least, I’m afraid I have to say that the Gloucester meeting will not be taking place. Regards to everyone who has attended over the last five years or so: perhaps someone will arrange a new meeting in the future.
I would be grateful if Dee could make the alteration to the monthly e mail list of monthly meetings. Diolch

Sorry to hear that! I’ve removed Gloucester from the list in the newsletter for now. I hope you can make alternative arrangements.
After further consultation, we have decided to continue the Gloucester meeting at a new venue between Gloucester and Cheltenham, and welcome attendees from both areas, as well as the Cotswolds and elsewhere. The new venue will be the Bell in Shurdington GL51 4XQ, chosen for its strategic location on the A 46 between Stroud and Cheltenham; only 2 miles from junction 11A of the M5 and 1.5 miles from the main roundabout intersection of the A417 and A46. It has a bus stop outside, on the number ten bus route from Cheltenham to Gloucester. This should make it easier for Steve to attend. It is an authentic country pub with good beer and a quiet corner for us to reserve to have a chat, so I hope it will prove popular.
The meetings will be, as before, at 7.30pm on the second Wednesday of each month: so the next will be on November 13th (there’s a lucky starting date!).
So, I look forward to seeing you there. I wonder if Deborah would kindly list this as the Gloucester and Cheltenham meeting? Diolch.
Cofion, Nic

Glad you have a new venue! It’s in my calendar, see you there.
Wel, Wel, Wel. Our first meeting at our new Venue for the Gloucester AND Cheltenham meeting will be at The Bell Inn (GL51 4XQ) at 7.30pm on Wednesday 13th Nov. Why not come over and buy us all a drink! (For the avoidance of any doubt, and the eradication of any aspersions (difriadau) that is a joke, or at least a jovial frisson intended to entice newcomers with a fascade of levity and devil may care). Mine’s a half! ( Half a joke!).
Steve, if your coming it will be a pint (no longer a joke).

Nic, not really aiming to avoid buying a round (honest!), but may not be able to attend, as a friend was in A&E early this morning and wants me to go and see her after my charity shop this pm (don’t think I’d have time to eat, then get to the pub).
Sorry to miss it again. Will there be a December meeting?
Totally understand. The December meeting will be on the 11th.
