jamesmahoney · January 14, 2016, 2:21pm

6 of us. I think it was a new record!

Deborah-SSi · January 17, 2016, 11:05am

Da iawn! Very good to hear that the two birds (@cuckoo and @theblacksparrow) are turning into a flock

cuckoo · January 17, 2016, 3:07pm

Diolch Dee, usually four of us, a good number to keep a conversation going.
Ond, croeso gynnes I bawb.

garethjohnmills · January 19, 2016, 9:24pm

Bydd hi’n saith yn fuen. Bydda i’n drio i ddod i’r un nesaf.

jamesmahoney · January 20, 2016, 9:54am

We’re gonna need a bigger table…

llanddinol · January 20, 2016, 6:50pm

No we will just have to sit on your knee

Usalman · January 28, 2016, 12:50pm

Would you guys be happy if a novice was to attend one of your meetings? … Just at the start of course two

cuckoo · January 28, 2016, 6:14pm

Hello, you would be very welcome. Next meeting will be the second Saturday in February,
I reckon that’ll be the 13th. keep an eye on the forum for conformation.
Hwyl Dave.

jamesmahoney · January 28, 2016, 7:06pm

We have only one rule (and it’s fairly new).

Everyone has to sit on a chair.

Usalman · January 29, 2016, 7:27am

Thanks for the welcome, and the seating advice

cassandra_bubblestho · January 29, 2016, 4:37pm

How often do you meet up?

llanddinol · January 29, 2016, 10:56pm

If there are not enough chairs then the black sparrow would be happy for you to sit on his knee

cuckoo · January 30, 2016, 9:01am

Bore da, for those of you old enough to remember Monty Python " this sketch is getting
too silly now ". Cassandra we meet on the second Saturday in the month, keep an eye
on the forum for confirmation, you would be very welcome. you could always stand up
if we run out of chairs.

jamesmahoney · February 1, 2016, 7:39am

I really hope this means that you’re going to turn up next time dressed as an army colonel, and then @llanddinol is going to burst through the door dressed in red cardinal’s robes…

cuckoo · February 12, 2016, 9:46am

Helo pawb, it’s that time of the month again. Tomorrow in Coffee # One in Commercial
Street Newport is the place to be, 10-30 ish. For any first timers look for the secret sign
probably a Welsh magazine on the table, no colonels no red cardinals.

jamesmahoney · February 16, 2016, 8:29am

It was a record! (just about). A latecomer arrived 5 minutes before the meeting finished, but I’m going to count it. 6 of us! In chair news, anxious readers can relax, there were plenty of chairs to go around. I did have to shoo @llanddinol back to his own chair once or twice though.

Following on from one of the main topics of conversation, look what happened later in my still un-tiled kitchen:

Not too bad, considering we don’t have a bake stone, nor a circular cutter (hence the final ones being somewhat triangular).

cuckoo · February 16, 2016, 8:35am

Mmmm I really like’em a bit burnt ( really ) but triangular Welsh cakes, nouvelle cuisine
gone mad.

jamesmahoney · February 16, 2016, 8:39am

It turns out that they burn easily if you use a non-stick pan, rather than a bake stone of griddle.

Anyway, these aren’t burnt. They have colour.

cuckoo · March 11, 2016, 7:56am

Bore da pawb, you all know the drill, Coffee # one Commercial Street for any body who hasn’t been before, is the place to be. From 10-30 on. Maybe The Black Sparrow will bring coloured Welsh cakes.
Hwyl am y tro. Dave.

jamesmahoney · March 11, 2016, 9:23am

You’re going to have to wait for my fine Welsh cake creations. Not because I haven’t bought a bake stone, but because it’s my annual pilgrimage to complain about the ever increasing ticket prices at the All England Badminton championships and I won’t be back in time. If we’re lucky we’ll get to watch some plucky Brits eliminated in the quarter finals
