"Dupa o calatorie placuta, cu plecarea din Timisoara cu masina pana la Budapesta, apoi cu avionul - Budapesta - Zurich - Birmingham, am ajuns cu bine in Tara Galilor, unde am avut placuta surpriza sa petrecem cateva zile minunate in compania unor oameni deosebiti. Am ramas placut impresionata de tot ce am vazut, incepand cu civilizatia celor de acolo, de locurile minunate si de oamenii de acolo. Sunt deosebit de bucuroasa pentru aceasta oportunitate care am avut-o de a vizita locuri frumoase (pe care le-am vazut doar in filme), de a cunoaste persoane din mai multe tari, de a socializa, de a schimba opinii si de a lega noi prietenii".

"After a lovely journey from Timisoara to Budapest by car and after that by plan from Budapest to Birmingham, we have arrived well in Wales, were we had a pleasent surprise and spent some wonderful days in the company of some really wonderful people. I was impressed by the places that we visited and the people that we have meet. It was a great opportunity for me to have the chance to visit this beautiful places (that I only saw in the movies), to meet new and interesting people from other countries, to talk in English and to make new friends".

Helo Shan and Sheila,

Sut da chi? As you can see my Welsh has imporved considerably . We have all arrived well in Timisoara, with a lot of memories and new skills. Angelina, Valeria, Lili, Elena, Elisabeta and I wish to thank you for all your efforts in making our stay in Llangollen so wonderful. We have enjoyed very much meeting all the learners and sharing ideas. We have also learned a lot from the rural seminars and see what great people live in Wales. The programmme that you have plan for us was also great for all that the Learning weekend wanted to reach. You really make a wonderful team.

Diolch!

All the best from a very happy Romanian group

Dear all,

please see the attachment which gives you details of costs for transfers and internal activities.  These costs will be in addition to the bed, breakfast and evening meal accomodation already given. 

I really need to know now asap, certain details about your travel arrangements and have asked some questions on the attachment.   

also some of you have told me verbally about how many will be in your group, but please could you confirm this now in writing so that I have a quick reference to look at but also its important for the hotel and travel. 

Thank you everyone,Sheila

Dear Shella and Shan,

Tomorrow I will meet the wonderful ladies of the Romanian group and they are very curious to find out more about Llangollen. During the last two weeks we have spoken a lot about the learning week so each of them started to ask questions about the destination .

I remember that in Stara Lubovna, Vivian presented us some interesting information about Llangollen; could you send us the power point presentation that he had made?

Wish you all a nice weekend!

Pob hwyl!

Tina

Dear all,

Please could you consider the Wales visit during the following mid-week dates - unfortunately the prices of the hotels in the area during the weekends in May, June, July and Aug are extremely high.  However, I have got us a v.good inclusive price if we agree to the event taking place as follows: MONDAY 24th May, TUESDAY  25th May, WEDNESDAY 26th May, THURSDAY 27th May -   4 nights - I may be able to secure an extra night on Friday 28th if we need it,  but we must decide this fairly quickly.  Another consideration, if we take rooms with twin beds for double occupany the price is cheaper for us, single occupancy is more expensive and they are a bit limited on the number of rooms available.  

This is the deal price I have: Based on 20 delegates,   Bed, Breakfast and Evening Meal with wine:  for 2 people sharing a twin bedded room will be £51.00 per person.    For a single occupancy Bed, Breakfast and Evening Meal  £75.00 per person.        In addition to this for our daytime meetings we are looking at a day delegate rate at the moment which will be around £25.00 per person to include morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and use of the internet.  We probably wont need this every day and may be able to negotiate on how many delegates we want to include.    The hotel is the Wild Pheasant in Llangollen and has good facilities.  Can I please impress that they have agreed to hold the rooms ONLY until I return from Slovakia so we really must have a decision by then folks!
