I didn’t see your message in time, @chris-roberts. I was there, but nobody else was.
Sue
Sorry about that Sue - it wasn’t until the day itself that I realised I would probably be on my own. I’m planning to be there next week. There are usually 3 or 4 of us so this week was a bit of an anomaly, maybe due to half term.
Sorry, I can’t make it to Riverside today or next Tuesday. Or the one after.
Sue
Helo bawb - I hope you all had the opportunity to enjoy some
St David’s Day/Dydd Gŵyl Dewi
celebrations last week.
This week we’ll be having Oxford SSiW’s Cinio Gŵyl Dewi on Friday lunchtime so our only regular meetup this week will be in Abingdon on Tuesday:
- *3:30pm Tuesday 4th March/ dydd Mawrth 4edd mis Mawrth * ( Riverside Cafe, Nag’s Head Island, Abingdon, OX14 3HX - see map in earlier post );

Although it’s Easter week/Wythnos y Pasg we’ll still be having the usual meetups although it may be more difficult to find a space in the Riverside Cafe on Tuesday and on Friday there may be the need to gently point out to one or two visitors that the Space for Reading has been reserved for us for that hour. ![]()
