Fantastic Sam! Da iawn ti!
We can’t make it unfortunately, Aran has to work and I have the kids. But all the best to everyone volunteering and thank you so much for giving your time for such an important and historical project!

I wish I could help out, but it is a bit far …
I’m thinking I might see if there’s something for me to do there on the few days after April bootcamp when I will be staying in Wales.

I hate bringing old threads back to life, but I couldn’t resist on this one.
I visited Caernarfon on the weekend (again this was a complete out of nowhere decision. Lara in work all day, nothing for me to do, wake up at 8.45am, I was on the A487 by 8.55am). I popped along to a learners session at Palas Print and I was honoured to actually be given a bit of tour around the new Llety Arall building by a couple of people running the build.
For those who haven’t seen the building, I cannot express in words just how massive the building is! I naively thought being on a street with a load of shops it might’ve been a one level or two level affair with a basement or something… Boy, I was wrong… I lost count of the number of floors after about 5! It really is huge.
There is still a lot of work to do, but with a lot of the plasterboard going up this week, I think it’s going to start looking very good, very soon. The plans sound incredibly exciting and this will be amazing once its done and dusted.
Being a former clothes shop, they have about what must be 1,000,0000,000 sets of clothes hangers upstairs that they are trying to get rid of, so if you’re in Caernarfon and you need some clothes hangers - get in touch with them

Aww Nicky! You should have said you were in Caernarfon - I’d have popped in for a panad with you!

I know! I was debating putting a message on the forum half way up, but my reception was pretty bad!
I will be up again in about 2/3 weeks hopefully, so I will let the interested parties know closer to the day

Hey, NIcky! Looks like you got the same tour I got when I was there in April. And it sounds like they’ve gotten much farther along than when I was there.

I attended the Llety Arall shareholders general meeting this evening . The building work is coming on fairly well and it looks as though 2 of the rooms and the available shop space downstairs will be ready before too long

I’ve just seen that the very first ever guest staying in Llety Arall was Allan from Somerset!
Y lletywr cyntaf oedd Allan o Wlad yr Haf a ddaeth i Gaernarfon ar gyfer gorymdaith dydd Gwyl Ddewi ac ar gyfer
Gwyl Ddewi Arall, dydd Sadwrn a dydd Sul.
The first person to stay was Allan a learner from Somerset who came to Caernarfon for Gwyl Ddewi Arall last weekend
Fellow Magnificent Saith attendees of the first ever SSiW Bwtcamp will recognise Allan as he is one of us!

Wow! He was my buddy for the Welsh in the wild (I let him do the talking!). Shame he didn’t get to the meetup in Llandrindod Wells.
Thanks for the shout-out.
Perhaps we should have a whip round and buy him a suitcase!
