If anyone should find themselves dragged into McDonalds in Oxford, it seems thereās a small bonus for dysgwyr - Kieran Thomas of Cymdeithas Dafydd ap Gwilym has discovered that their touch-screen ordering machine has a Welsh language option

Hi everyone, myself and a couple of friends have been running an informal meetup for a few months now but have decided we want to try and get more people in!
And crucially itās during the evening - we meet on Wednesdayās at 8:30pm at the Big Society, Cowley Road.
At the moment thereās 4-5 of us ranging from 20s to a little bit older, and we spend lots of time talking about the roots of Welsh words, politics, music and all sorts.
Itād be arddechog if anyone wants to join us! Let me know if anyone is thinking of coming along next Weds 20th.

Will be there on Thursday assuming all is smooth with work this week (hah). And also on Wednesday for the length of time it take me to drink a pint.

Not there today again! Triple sorry, felling a bit bereft! Son is having a violin recital at school. Apparently I knew! Sometimes I wonder if I have another brain somewhere. 
Oh dear! Youāll have to imagine youāre at Eisteddfod yr Urdd and think Welsh thoughts - More meetups next week though and thereās still a walk faintly pencilled in for this weekend, or maybe next ā¦ ?
