Forgive me if it upthread… Some years in lieu of organised meetups there’s been a general principle of “X o’clock outside Y tent (often Maes D) is a gather of any in the area SSIWers - we doing that this year? Did we have a time?
I haven’t seen a Maes layout yet, I wonder if it’s out.
IMPORTANT information for people looking to travel “home” to Caernarfon from the Maes with the shuttle bus at 11pm… the link to book the tickets is now online (I don’t know since when exactly, I just thought to check the site again for "further information), and it looks like they’re selling like hot cakes!
Here are the direct links (for saving you the time to go through the Eisteddfod’s site) –
For Porthmadog: Eisteddfod - Bus from Boduan to Porthmadog | tocyn.cymru (beta)
For Nefyn:

For Caernarfon:
https://tocyn.cymru/en/event/41c544c7-5b47-42fe-9900-e5b165fa6832
Porthmadog and Nefyn seem to have a lot of tickets left, but Caernarfon looks like it may sell out soon!
UPDATE - I THOUGHG I missed my window! But looking aagain at the Cernarfon link it looks like they’ve organised a bunch more.
FYI
On Wednesday the 9th of August at 11 am at the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, SSi’s @aran will be joining @sara-peacock-1, S4C’s Welsh Language Strategy Lead, for a discussion titled “Iaith ar Daith - y siwrne’n parhau”/“Iaith ar Daith - the journey continues”.
Joining the panel to discuss how to move forward with learning and build confidence, will be Aleighcia Scott, the Welsh–Jamaican reggae artist, presenter and former Iaith ar Daith participant, as well as other former IaD celebrities, yet-to-be-confirmed.
So please come along to Stondin S4C on the Eisteddfod Maes at 11 on 09/08 to enjoy this free event!
I’m looking forward to this - Aleighcia is inspirational, and we’re also hoping that Kiri might be able to be there, which would be fabulous.

I bumped into Mali Ann Rees, Aleighcia’s touring partner, at Sesiwn Fawr. Normally when you encounter people off the telly, they turn out to be a foot shorter than you expect. Mali was a good foot taller!
Yes, she is not short 
Here is the National Centre For learning Welsh’s timetable for the Eisteddfod week!

Such a privilege for me to be asking the questions! Kiri’s going to be filming with Maggi Noggi, and is a bit nervous about the timetable (which is why we’re being slightly reticent about advertising her presence!) but I’m hoping they’ll be able to dash across the Maes to be with us.
Hi all
I’ve never been to the Llŷn peninsula, any good places to have a little wild swim while I’m there? Closer to Boduan the better really. Any help much appreciated.
Diolch Rob
It’s mostly coastline so really just keep going in any given direction until your feet feel wet, and then start swimming 
The fastest route to water from Boduan is pretty much straight north to Nefyn, but there is a plethora of small coves and beaches everywhere from there down to Aberdaron, so if you just stick a pin on any small stretch of sand on Google maps, you’ll uncover some treasures. 
Privilege or unexpected horror - you’re about to find out how bad I am at interviews!
I’m just thinking of it as you and me having a chat. I would offer to put a pint in your hand to make it more realistic, but that’s possibly not a good idea at 11am…
I’m a big, big fan of Porth Iago, but it’s not massively close to the Maes, unfortunately.
It sounds like an extraordinarily good idea! Well, for me, anyway, perhaps less so for everyone else
To add to Rob’s post above:
