Good thinking! 
Iām not allergic to coconut milk (only cowās and goatās milk), but please can you check that they havenāt snuck any (cowās) milk powder in with the coconut!
The stuff for drinking from the āFree Fromā section is fine. If its tinned coconut milk from the āWorld Foodsā aisle that you are after, you may need to be more carefulā¦ Quickest way to make sure it is OK is to check if it is vegan 
Sorry for being awkward!

Thatās a great help for me, thank you! Now I know what Iām looking for!
So, @netmouse @elizabeth_jane @novem @anneevans @johnmorganjones @Y_Ddraig_Las @Jenny @Jane @amandalaing and Roger Blunden, Iām thinking of making two curries. One chicken Korma and one Veggie Korma.
The curries will be dairy free and I will have factored in other food allergies that I have been informed of. Iāll also be cooking the curries separately, so no cross contamination between veggie and non veggie. There will be rice (which someone else may have too cook because Iām hopeless at cooking rice) and there will be some breads.
Please bring a bottle if you fancy, and with hindsight, I would probably suggest that if you feel like dessert, to bring your own to suit your own food preferences. Iāll bring some after dinner mints.

The Veggie Korma for me please, NKA. I sympathise, rice is tough to get consistent for mass catering.

Iām not quite sure what I am feeling at the moment - I suspect really excited and downright terrified at the same timeā¦
Really must stop obsessively refreshing the Bootcamp thread and start packing!

Iām sorry to say that I wonāt be able to arrive tomorrow, for the start of the bootcamp.
I developed a very bad cold a few days ago and felt really grim last weekend. Iām recovering well but am coughing a lot - all of Tuesday night and half of last night. I think this will stop in a day or two, but if Iām still doing it in Caernarfon - even if I have a room to myself - I expect Iād be banished to the coal cellar (assuming there is one: otherwise where - park bench, shop doorway?). Anyway, my present plan is to join you on Sunday evening, assuming the coughing has stopped, otherwise Monday.
Iām sorry to let you down like this, especially as Iād offered to provide transport, but I will get to Caernarfon as soon as I can get myself into an acceptable condition, with my car. Iām particularly disappointed, too, to be missing Catrinās chicken korma tomorrow night.
I had considered staying at home in Suffolk and having a micro-bootcamp here, speaking no English and listening to Radio Cymru for the whole week. For some reason, however, my son and granddaughter were surprisingly hostile to the idea and Iāve also failed to find any local friends willing to participate, a variety of frankly unconvincing excuses being proffered. Never mind, itās their loss!
Looking forward to seeing you all in Caernarfon, as soon as Iām able to get there.

Sorry to hear that John. Get well soonest.
At least youār spared the blind panic Iām suffering from now, thereās all these words that my brain is refusing to remember, you canāt force your brain to do things it wants to do sometimes. I have almost finished packing! Itās going to be crazy

It will all be fine, just as soon as you stop trying to remember those words.
I found that it took me a few days to get to that point. You may manage it more quickly, but whenever you do get there and just āmeddwl yn Gymraegā instead of trying to think of words, itās a feeling you will never forget.
Trust me, you will be amazed

Really sorry to hear that. I hope youāre feeling better and will be up in Caernarfon soon.

Oh, what, is it Bootcamp already?..
We seem to have a particularly high quotient of fear this time round. I may have to think of some particularly fiendish challenges just so youāre not disappointedā¦
[No, donāt worry, weāll be moderately nice to youā¦;-)]

So, Aran isnāt quite ready either. Nonetheless I will be leaving in 10 minutes and hitting the A470 and some Welsh will be spoke by SSIWers in Caernarfon, whether itās ready or not

Iām feeling exactly the same with a touch of nausea and fear added in.

Iām starting to think weāre going to need to arrange a bracing session of Friday afternoon cocktailsā¦

Iām nervous and Iāve done it before! It is normal. You will be fine once you get going. My experience is that there will be lots of laughs, extreme brain strain and an immense sense of achievement by the end of the week. Iām looking forward to meeting you all soon.

Just my luck to miss the cocktails - and Catrinās chicken korma!
Maybe, maybe not - judging by the nerves, I could easily imagine the cocktail session carrying on until Sunday afternoon (if not the entire week)ā¦
