If you’ve attended any SSiW Bwtcamp - north or south - over the past 8 years, then there’s a new online chat group especially for you!
It’s in the Welsh Speaking Practice Slack community, but a private channel just for those who have been on Bwtcamp - to chat, to reminisce, to laugh again, to share experiences … and maybe even plan a few reunions or weekends away together! The options are endless.
To join in - if you’re not already in WSP, send an email to admin@saysomethingin.com with “WSP Bwtcamp Survivor” as the subject,
or if you are already in WSP, send a direct message there to either me or Nia and we’ll add you in.

Please don’t take my non-participation a(s lack) 
of interest. It’s just that I no longer use Slack.
Good luck with the channel, though. I’m just going to continue with private therapy to get over my many bootcamp experiences. “I will survive”

I’m the exact opposite, the bootcamps are my therapy. Time for another in 11 days.

I must stop trying to joke on the forum - it doesn’t seem to work. On the other hand it doesn’t seem to work “live” with my family, either. 
I guess you were joking too, G, but I ought to make it clear that all the bootcamps I’ve attended have been transformative, confidence-boosting, fun and some of the best weeks of my life.

Never in doubt Huw, your sense of humour is one of this forum’s delights. I’ve never not ‘got it’.

We’ll be able to tell each other jokes “wyneb a wyneb” soon.
Here’s a feed line for you (or anyone) to find a punch line for at the party -
“Cerddodd Cardi i mewn dafarn gyda’i ddefaid…” / “A Cardi walked into a pub with his sheep …”
I’ve just thunk one up, but I’m going to save it till I see you

I don’t know how to “bump” posts, but here’s Dee’s original:

OK no-one asked at the party, so I can’t keep the punch-line to myself any longer:
Feed line: "Cerddodd Cardi i mewn dafarn gyda’i ddefaid…” / “A Cardi walked into a pub with his sheep …”
My punch-line: “Dweudodd y tafarnwr - ‘Pwy sy’n dali, te?’” / The publican said ‘Who’s paying then’?
I ought to explain that this perpetuates the totally unjustified reputation of Cardi’s having arms too short for their pockets. (I come from a long line of Cardis by the way. )

I was just wondering @Deborah-SSi@Nia where is the best place to post boot camp photos from May in Tresaith please? I don’t think I posted any yet or…could I have posted them in the wrong place already?! 
If you have them somewhere where they can easily be viewed online, you could post a link in the May Bwtcamp thread, and in the Bwtcamp Survivors channel on WSP

Thanks @Deborah-SSi I will see what I can do 
Does the Bŵtcamp Mawr 2019 count, @Deborah-SSi? @nia.llywelyn answered my request by asking me if I’d been on a bŵtcamp “ever?”
Well, Have not had to survive forced bunk bed and pea/pee-jar…
Caernarfon 2019 was a most genteel affair…

I would say it counts. There have been several northern ‘bwtcamps’ classified as ‘luxury’ and we’re happy to include ‘survivors’ of those as well
