I am hoping to be a âfirst-time bootcamperâ in 2015 and hope to get in on the July one as it is the only one I can do due to work commitments. Will be practicing hard over the winter and spring in the hope that by then the prospect will not be quite so daunting as it feels now! Will keep a look out for booking in details. Lyn

hiâŚmy partner and i have are definitely needing to come to bootcamp ( april if possible) - weâre halfway through course two and have done all the available challenges tooâŚwe talk to each other in welsh alot ( annoys the noe welsh speaking kids no end !) but of course we often donât know if we are making mistakes so exposure to proper welsh speaking would be greatâŚwe dont get out much to practice !

Okay. Just throwing some thoughts around. I have just had six months leave without pay approved for the second half of July 2015. Guess where I intend to spend it? I will be living in Corris, Gwynedd, managing a small studio. However, I will also be helping manage a house (in Dolgellau) on air B&B. The owners are Welsh learners and have basically offered a 30% house discount for learners. So, if numbers are tight on Bootcamps there may be an opportunity for repeat Bootcampers to do unofficial group holidays in Dolgellau. I will be looking for opportunities to practice my Welsh. I am basically happy to help coordinate. I believe some of my Aussie classmates are considering making the trip. I am urging them to do Bootcamp and come onto Dolgellau afterwards. Anyway, thatâs the plan. Just thought Iâd throw it into the discussion as we are starting to make plans.

Thatâs really exciting Elizabeth! And a great idea to organise something in Dolgellau.
Helo Iestyn,
Are you in a position at the moment to say approximately when booking might open, or wonât it be until 2015?
Diolch o flaen llaw!
Mike
Hi Mike. Booking for the first two (April, June) will be opening imminently. July and September will open early in 2015. Hope that helps!

Hi, I would like to be part of the bootcamp April 25 to May 2, 2015. I need to have details how to go about this. I live in Sydney, Australia. I need to book airfares very soon. Iâve been learning Welsh for the last couple of years. A friend, Louis, came to the bootcamps in the last couple of years.
Hwyl Elizabeth

We should have booking details/links up before the end of the week, so keep an eye on this thread and youâll be one of the first to know⌠
Diolch yn fawr Aran. Dwiân hapus iawn i gael yr ateb yn gyflym. Gobeithio dwiân gallu bwcio cyn ddydd Gwener 12 achos roedd hediadau rhad o Sydney i Llundain.
Dwiân gallu darllen a ysgrifennu Cymraeg ond dwi ddim yn siarad yn dda iawn.

Theyâve been set up and shared with Iestyn, so now itâs just a matter of when he next gets a chance to be onlineâŚ
Hi Aran,
To let you know I want to be in Tresaith Bootcamp 25 April to May 2. However itâs late Friday 12 Dec here now in Sydney, so Iâll have to leave checking the internet tonight until tomorrow.

Hi Liz. Have only just seen this. I would love to come and join you in Corris or Dolgellau - perhaps using Aberdyfi as my base. Karen and Crispin are tantalisingly close too. The only thing is that I would probably be restricted to the 1st week in the summer holidays (ie end of July), as we do intend to go to Australia for 3 weeks in August. I might also be a bit restricted with looking after my step-mother and having to use public transport.
On a separate note, weâve just had an email from 2 of our children to say that they have met up (with their partners) in Melbourne today. Mixed feelingsâŚI would so love to give them a hug - either here in York or there in Australia - but I am really pleased that they have all met up safely.
Your plans look really exciting. If I canât meet you in Australia, the least I can do is try and meet up with you in Wales some time over those 6 months! Will you have time to travel to England or Scotland?

For anyone whoâs following this thread looking for updates on Bootcamp dates - the first two are now available, as youâll see if you look at the âBootcampâ section:

Hi Carys. I will be leaving Australia on 26th of July. What a shame I wonât be in Australia to see you. But maybe next time⌠I would love to catch up when I am in Wales some time. I will be staying in Corris at Stiwdio Maelor but hope to join the SSiW group in Dolgellau at the pub each week. Iâd love to see you whenever you come to Wales. I may be able to travel, depending on how busy we are at the Stiwdio. Lotsâ to think about and look forward to. I hope your kidâs meeting went well.
