Diolch Owen, that’s good news - let’s hope now for three more dry and sunny Fridays to enjoy the meadow!

Helo bawb - the last week of September already, but no change yet to the meetup schedule:
- 12:00 Tuesday 28th September / dydd Mawrth 28ain Medi (via Zoom - do say if you’d like to join us but don’t yet have the login details)
-
12:00 Friday 1st October/ dydd Gwener 1af Hydref (‘Broad Meadow’, just opposite Balliol College. Currently the forecast for Friday’s a bit iffy - if it looks like being wet we’ll opt for the tables with umbrellas outside the Castle Quarter’s Slug & Lettuce - I’ll post a message on Friday morning, if that’s the case,
)
Hwyl a chadw’n iach,
John

Sudden urgent need to go to Abingdon on retirement group business. I’ll get to Oxford afterwards if I can.

Helo bawb - the weather’s suddenly looking quite promising for the Broad Meadow meetup this lunchtime, as is the forecast 
- so hope to see you there! 
Hwyl, John
JCB 
at work in Broad Meadow this lunchtime - turns out that when Oxford Council said:
Some of the smaller elements of Broad Meadow will be relocated to accommodate the Arts Market, ahead of the site being returned to its previous state starting on 11 October.
… they meant carrying the benches away 
I went to Abingdon - and discovered too late that the “urgent” errand was completely unnecessary. On to Oxford. Went to Broad Meadow and found only men removing seating. Went to Slug and Lettuce and nobody there either. Came home.

I was walking up and down in Broad Meadow, Sue, but I didn’t manage to spot you so I headed off home just after 12:45
That’s a shame. I looked all round and did not see you. Never mind.

Helo bawb - we have a new venue this week with the demise of Broad Meadow but times/days stay the same
- 12:00 Tuesday 5th October / dydd Mawrth 5ed Hydref (via Zoom - do say if you’d like to join us but don’t yet have the login details)
-
12:00 Friday 8th October/ dydd Gwener 8ed Hydref (NB Change of venue to
outside tables of the Castle Quarter’s Slug & Lettuce/Yr Wlithen a Letysen)
As colder weather
begins to encroach we’ll need to start thinking about potential indoor venues for face to face meetups - suggestions welcome! 
. In the past we’ve used pubs (
The Royal Blenheim, The King’s Arms, The Turf Tavern ) and and cafes (
Jericho Cafe, MOMA, Ashmolean Museum, New Bodleian Library and the now sadly shut Cafe Bap ).
Hwyl a chadw’n saff

Helo bawb - no changes to this week’s meetup schedule:
- 12:00 Tuesday 19th October / dydd Mawrth 19eg Hydref (via Zoom - do say if you’d like to join us but don’t yet have the login details)
- 12:00 Friday 22nd October/ dydd Gwener 22ain Hydref (Outside tables at Slug & Lettuce/ Yr Wlithen a Letysen at entrance to the Castle Quarter)
We’ll be sticking with the S&L while it’s not too cold to sit outside - it’s reasonably well-sheltered and quite pleasant, in fact, when the sun shines

We could even stick with the Slug and Lettuce. There seems to be a fair amount of space indoors.
Diolch, @johnwilliams_6 a @chris-roberts am y sgwrs.

Ah yes I was going to suggest that as well when I saw how spacious it is.
