Thanks Hilary. Hoping to be there. Ruth
After asking about attending it turns out that thereās a family wedding happening on the 13th that Iād already agreed to go to then forgot about ^_^;;
Iād definitely be up for one if another happens in the future though.
Sorry, and thanks
Ill be there, see you Saturday!
I should be there
What time is everyone aiming to be there tomorrow?
Aiming to be there 1 -1.15 ish and parking hopefully across the road.
Great. Iāll be there around 1ish I imagine.
Best of luck for your inaugral meet-up in Sheffield!
Remember that it may be difficult to speak Welsh at first - if thatās the case, just watch your English closely, and try to say some of what youāre saying in Welsh, either before the English leaves your mouth, or immediately after (or 5 minutes later, in a āHey, I could have saidā¦ā kind of way!)
And enjoy the company of fellow learners / new speakers - itās the absolute best way to practice.
Enjoy!

Diolch Iestyn! I only used my Welsh for the first time āin the wildā about a month ago and it was great. Iāll keep your tips in mind for sure
Hmm. Iām here now. Canāt find anyone thoughā¦
EDIT: Found everyone
dwi wedi mwynhau ddoe. Edrych ymlaen i cyfarfod nesaf
Oedd yn dda i gyfarfod pawb!
So, next time we will all bring a pre-prepared short introductory piece to read to the rest of the group. Hopefully this will help to get the Welsh conversation flowing, whilst also giving everyone a chance to speak.
Hopefully those who werenāt able to make it was be able to come too. The more the merrier of course.
July 11th?
Helo bawb. Is it a conspiracy? I cannot make the 11th July either as in Chesterfield most of the day (canāt change that as Iām leading a group (not welsh). Iām really keen to meet up sometime, please keep me in the loop. Paul
Oh dear Iām sorry Paul. The plan is to try and make it the second Saturday of the month so hopefully one will work for you in the end.
I checked with the Hagglers on my way past yesterday and they are open as usual from 12 on Saturday. Until twelve there is an āearly morning rave for parents and childrenā so for people arriving early there may be more small humans around than usual although hopefully raved out by then! The cafe expect things to be back to normal by the time we meet at 1pm. I will be at one of the outdoor tables again unless I absolutely canāt get one.
Iām working on my couple of sentences about myself now (left it late meā¦er wellā¦ ) We also enjoyed a game of I went to market and I bought in welsh last time so if like me your vocabulary of Welsh nouns is actually quite small then I recommend looking up a couple of items to get you through your turns as you pick up many more from the rest of the group!
look forward to seeing those of you who can join us on Saturday.
Hilary
See you all tomorrow. Ruth
Hopefully make it on the 8th Augustā¦ donāt get too far ahead of me, please! Paul
Well I had fun today! with only two of us we managed to use a bit of Welsh, put the world to rights talk about Aranās 7 stages of language learning, different Cymraeg apps and ways to access Cymraeg media weāve tried shared the information we prepared about ourselves and played a game of āI went to Market and I bought:ā yn y Gymraeg allowing me to practice saying Dwi 'di anghofio be ddudest ti." on many occasions! Not bad for an hour and a bit.
Donāt worry about being behind or ahead Paul. We all know different amounts of Welsh and weāre there to share the experiences weāve had so far and have a go in the company of new people with the option of food and drink at the same time!
That said I am away for the 8th of August. There is no reason why people canāt meet at that venue without me and I am happy to check that they have no clashing event as usual before I go away. However if you are thinking of coming on the 8th August it might be helpful to post your plans on the forum so those people who travel from outside Sheffield do not have to risk coming and finding no one to talk to yn y Gymraeg.
I will be back on the 12th September.
Hilary
If people are going to be meeting up in Sheffield on 8 August I could definitely make it as I could come down after morning football coaching in Dronfield. Let me know if something is happening.
Will be in Czech on September 12th and not able to make it - though hoping to possibly connect up for a Welsh chat in Brno at that point
Hi, I am free to meet up. I assume same place - Hagglers Corner and again assume 1pm? Paul
Hi everyone,
Well, itās the first day of the football season tomorrow (dw iān licio pĆŖl-droed yn fawr iawn), and Iāll be in Chesterfield for the match. Hope everyone has a good time, and hopefully Iāll be at the next one (depending on fixtures).
Hwyl am y tro!
Oliver
