Arrrgh! I was just coming on here to tell you that I won’t be able to make it tomorrow! I’ll have to change that to “I didn’t make it last time because I can’t read a calendar”. And annoyingly, I can’t make it on 9th May either
(I’ve put it in my calendar for 6th June. Is that right?)
I will be on my way back from bootcamp the previous Saturday, which is the Machynlleth Comedy weekend, but if anyone wants to arrange a meet up for that weekend too, I will gladly come along if I can make it, e.g. Sunday morning.
I’ll be in Machynlleth on that Sunday (I’m seeing Rob Newman at 12:45), so I’d be up for a meetup on the Sunday morning if there are any takers. Or afternoon. ‘Arranging’ sounds a bit scary, but I can meet someone in a coffee shop. Anyone around?
Hi Helen. It looks like it might be just you and me. If you still want to meet, I’d be happy to have a coffee at about 11:30. I totally understand though if you’d rather not, since you’ve got the meetup the following week anyway and will have just got back from a week’s Bootcamping. You might prefer to have a rest!
I knew Mach’s 3G signal wasn’t great, but I was also wifi-less for the bulk of the weekend so I wasn’t able to get online to find out the meeting details.
On the plus side, I did laugh at some jokes…in Welsh!
We wondered where you were. We also tried to get onto the forum to see if you’d left a message, but no signal!
Maybe next year I’ll brave some of the Welsh language shows - I imagined myself blank-faced in a sea of hysterical laughter and thought I’d give it a miss until I can do more than struggle through the ‘who’s there?’ side of a knock-knock joke.
One of my goals in Welsh is to understand the comedy. I usually follow along fine until the punchline arrives then I totally lose my understanding. Everyone else is laughing their socks off and I’m wondering what it’s all about. But I WILL get there!
There will be an extra meetup in Machynlleth this Thursday afternoon (13th August)! We will be meeting at 2pm in Siop Alys for coffee/tea and chat and then going to have a look round the Owain Glyndwr Senedd-Dy next door. All Welcome!
Since a few people have mentioned (@paulinehomer, @elizabeth_j_corbett_) that the second Saturday this month clashes with the ‘Rustbuster’ course in Dolgellau, I think it would be a good idea to move the Mach meetup to the following Saturday (19th September). This will then tie-in with the Owain Glyndwr festival , which starts at 1pm on that day - we can spend the whole day siarad Cymraeg!
So Mach September meet up: Saturday 19th September, 10.30am, Siop Alys. @Deborah-SSi Please mention in the weekly email. Thanks.
