Oxford Welsh learners group

Helo bawb - just to confirm that we’ll be sticking with our current meetup schedule for the rest of the month, at least (not too late, though, to suggest changes for the weeks after that :slightly_smiling_face: ), so for this week:

  • 12:00 Tuesday 12th September / dydd Mawrth 12eg mis Medi ( via image - do get in touch for login details if you’d like to join in )
  • 12:00 Friday 15th September / dydd Gwener 15fed mis Medi ( ‘Space for Reading’, Weston Library, Broad Street, Oxford - inside entrance hall to the right, next to windows & opp. side from the excellent cafe)

… and same days and times for the rest of September

Just seen this in the thread on gigs… No mention of it on the café’s website, but I’ve emailed to ask for more details. Welsh Gigs - DATES AND LOCATIONS! 🎸 - #350 by robbruce

I asked the café: Doors are at 7.30pm and tickets can be bought here WeGotTickets | Simple, honest ticketing | Divine Schism: HMS Morris + Sassyhiya + Lucy Leave + Sksie
It’s on Little Clarendon St.

@Betterlatethan i just got very excited. Is this you? My mum is staying this week and she is reading “Gêm Beryglus”

Yes, that’s me. Before the first books in the series were published, there was an invitation on the forum for people to apply to review a book online before it appeared in print. I applied, and I reviewed this one. I am ridiculously proud of having my review printed on the back.
