WRECSAM 'DI WREXHAM
by dinas » Fri Feb 21, 2014 2:33 pm
I've just started to watch this series about the regrowth of the Welsh speaking community in Wrexham. It features language learners; and also the Saith Seren pub which I know Gruntius sometimes uses...The pub also runs as a Welsh centre. Really good documentary.

Yes I hear it!... Hiraeth - the link with the long-forgotten past, the language of the soul, the call from the inner self. Half forgotten - fraction remembered. It speaks from the rocks, from the earth, from the trees and in the waves. It's always there.

Absolutely agree, unfortunately it is struggling at the moment and needs more custom to survive long term. I go on a Monday night whenever I'm not working nights and would love to see more people there so if you're in the area ...

I was saddened to hear their struggling, something that is happening with pubs everywhere. My own locals are dead: 60% have gone over the last few years...

Was shocked (but not altogether surprised) to see yet another town-centre pub in Abingdon closed the other day. Had not seen that particular one coming, but I know of two others whose days seem to be numbered.

Yma o hyd! Many thanks to Geraint and the other learners for all your help.
We're a determined bunch. The Saith Seren project has certainly been a big learning curve for all those involved but I think we're winning, just about! Really nice to see the supportive comments on here, means a lot, diolch pawb
