Not me today Iām afraid - I have a small hay emergency (how often do you get to say that?) to solve.
Iām hoping to be there - I can remind you to ask him in person 
Definitely something to be included in a new edition of the legendary āMy postillion has been struck by lightning!ā phrase book 
!Sorry you canāt make it today - good luck with that hay - tan dydd Llun, 'ta!
One must be careful of oneās postillions, timod!

Hoping to be there today @johnwilliams_6 ā¦ may be a little late though.
Thanks, @johnwilliams_6 and @mikeellwood. I enjoyed the session. Itās a shame you couldnāt come, @cat-1. I hope that you sorted out your hay emergency.
About the possibility of meeting in Headington - in general, if I can make it to Oxford on a Thursday then I should be able to make it to Headington. Some Thursdays I can, some Thursdays I canāt. Not Mondays though.
Itās probably best if you go ahead and arrange something to suit other Richard and the majority, and Iāll come if I can.

Yes, diolch @Betterlatethan and @mikeellwood - it was a good meet-up!
Quick explainer: I was asking about this as one of our group, Richard Williams, who works in Headington has been under too much pressure of work to make it to meet-ups in central Oxford so I was wondering at todayās meet-up if having occasional meet-ups in Headington might allow him to join us again.

And now that we know there is such a thing, I suppose we should at least attempt a Welsh version:
argyfwng gwair? (argyfwng wair?)
brys gwair? (brys wair?)
(for some reason, I want to mutate the second word, but Iām not sure why).
I suppose if you want to avoid a hay emergency, you should make hay while the sun shines:
(from Geiriadur Academi):
to make hay while the sun shines - Prov:
cynnull dy wair tra peryār tes,
cynaeafu tra boān dywydd teg

Hello Welsh learners. Iād like to come along to the group at some point but my level is probably too woefully basic at the moment. I just wanted to ask - does everyone in the group speak the southern version of Welsh or are there any North Walians?

Hi @chris-roberts! Thereās a mix of both actually, a fairly even split Iād say. The differences are never a problem and often give us interesting things to talk about. Everyone is very friendly, and your Welsh can be any level at all really.

Definitely true, @chris-roberts. I am a recent recruit and still very hesitant with speaking. I am learning the southern version, but I am getting used to a variety of northern words. As @cat-1 says, thereās a mix. You can say whichever version you know, and just start to recognise the alternatives as you hear them. Hope to see you!

Hooray! I hope to be there too on Monday, though it will depend on the buses. If we get a couple more people, we could fill the cafe.
Canāt make it on Thursday though.
