Lovely to see everyone in the Royal Blenheim today. Advance notice of another Welsh event in Jesus College:
St Davidās Day Evensong
The Annual Welsh Evensong for St Davidās Day will this year be held in Chapel on Friday 28th February at 5.30pm, when the preacher (in English) will be Professor Ceri Davies, Jesus alumnus and notable student of Welsh renaissance scholarship, and biographer of John Davies, also a Jesus alumnus, whose Welsh Bible was published in 1620.
(Sadly I donāt think I can make it this year, but you will all be most welcome. Traditionally the sermon is given in English and the services and singing are all in Welsh.)

If anyoneās up for a double dose of celebrating Dydd Gŵyl Dewi/St Davidās Day, as well as Jesus College Chapel on Fri 28th thereāll also be the rare opportunity to do this on Sat 29th Feb at the Oxford Welsh Male Voice Choir concert in the University Church on the High St at 7.30pm: https://oxfordwelshmvc.org.uk/2020photos/st%20dave%20poster.pdf
Would anybody know of a local celebration on the day itself, i.e. Sun 1st March? If not, how about coming up with some sort of celebration of our own?

Date for the diary: To celebrate Dydd Gŵyl Dewi /St Davidās Day, Sunday 1st March, weāve settled on a family lunch in a child-friendly pub with a garden or, even better, a childrenās play area. Also, depending on weather/ground conditions, some of us may go on a walk+sgwrs either before or after lunch, so somewhere with pleasant walking close at hand would be preferable - suggestions please!
Hwyl, John

@cat-1 suggests the Ben Jonson pub, Weston-on-the-Green (veggie, vegan, gluten-free options and childrenās play area) as a possible venue for Dydd Gŵyl Dewi /St Davidās Day lunch. What do you think? Transport from central Oxford could be arranged if needed.
Thatās one good possibiliity, but further suggestions welcome!
Hwyl, John
PS Quick reminder about tomorrowās 10:30am Cafe Bap meetup
