Are you going to the Eisteddfod? Would you like to meet-up with other members of the SSi Community? If you’d like to have the opportunity to meet others but don’t know where or how to start organising, then this thread may help.
I’ve included a poll so that it’s easier for us to see which days and times others are more likely to be available to meet. So please use the poll and use this thread for discussion and to make further plans with each other.
@aran , myself and the kids are going to be there during the week, though not for all of it, and would enjoy meeting up with some of you if we can make it happen. So lets get this thread going and see what we can arrange.
We recommend either Maes D or the food areas as ideal places for a meet-up.
Helo!
I would love to meet, but at the moment I’ve no idea when we will be there. We are driving up (at 4am tomorrow) from the Basque Country via Dover, and have nothing booked at all on Llyn! So we’ll camp (campervan) as near as we can, and taxi/bus/hitchhike in
My family is willing to do a couple of days at y Steddfod but much more would be pushing it!
Hopefully it all pans out. Gobeithio wele chi yno!
If people are split between days, maybe we can meet up later as well as earlier in the week?
Personally, I’d prefer the food area (or a bit of Maes D with lots of fresh air, if Maes D works that way) as my health isn’t fabulous lately and I’m aiming to reduce my chances of picking up respiratory infections as best I can. I’ll have a mask with me, but if I need to wear it it makes it a bit harder for others with any hearing loss to pick up what I’m on about (a blessing, perhaps? )
I’m new here, I’ll be at the Eisteddfod Wednesday and Thursday, it would be great to meet up with people to avoid me wandering around awkwardly not talking to anyone (which is what happened when I went last year). If the main meetup happens at a time I’m not there, maybe anyone who is around on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday and is interested to meet could say so here, and we could arrange that independently of a whole group meet? Thanks
So going by the poll, @aran, the kids and I have decided to make Monday afternoon a meet-up opportunity on the Maes!
We will be at the food place at 1 pm, and the weather forecast is promising a fine day!!
If you look at the detail of the Maes map below, we will be waiting where the gold star is. So just in front of the bar! If you see us, then please come up and say helo! If we’ve never met before and you’re not sure what we look like, then I’ve posted a recent photo below. Looking forward to seeing you!
Do any of the people who voted yes to the second-favourite Thursday morning option want to also meet then? Could go for the same spot, for simplicity’s sake - at 10am?
Bring your wellies! We might need a tractor to get our car off the parking field too
We’re here today and either tomorrow or Monday, having problems finding camping nearby (currently in Nefyn but they only had one night available)
Btw, I thought the Clwb Cerdyn Post had a stand here but it’s not on the map. Anyone know if they’re here?
And also, while I’m actually connected to the patchy wifi, I’d like to say DIOLCH O GALON to SSIW - I was feeling pretty rubbish about my Welsh before coming here but I haven’t had to use English at all in the shops etc. Sometimes they hear my horrible pronunciation and switch to English but I persist and parhau! I even had one lady apologise in a cafe for speaking “Cofi” and not my “proper” Cymraeg
It’s been absolutely amazing to just hear the language in the street. Hopefully bump into some of you here

We just got here late after walking in from Nefyn! If anyone sees us I’d love to say hi. I’m wearing a yellow Niwclear Dim Diolch t shirt and my son is wearing a Real Sociedad shirt blue and white stripes
