2nd March 2024 - Saint David's Day Meetup Cardiff

@JennyAssis

As promised, I called into the castle today.

Once someone has purchased a ticket to go inside the buildings and museum they can leave (for example, to visit the tourist shops or arcades) and reenter the castle/grounds as long as they hold onto their ticket.
Entry to the grounds only (courtyard,cafe, shop) is still free.

The castle cafe has (maybe) 8 tables indoors, and the outdoor seating will also be available by St Davids Day.
They are happy for a group, but would prefer us to book in advance. The booking would be free assuming that we eat their food/ drink their coffee etc. We would be expected to confirm numbers 2 weeks in advance ( but there doesn’t seem to be a problem with some flexibility- they just need to know how many tables).

Please let me know if you would like me to make a provisional booking, or if there is anything else you would like me to do in preparation for the meet-up.

@claireandivy thanks for the updates. Dinosaurs and postcards are lots of fun. :tada:

@xxxxyyyyzzzz thank you for the inquiry, great to know that we can go out and come back.
Yes please, you can take care of the booking with the cafe. I appreciate your help :blush:

I would say purchasing postcards before the meeting would be a good option, so they can be signed as well.

P.S. I will start to work on the design of the postcard this week. :crossed_fingers:t5:

@JennyAssis
I will call in on Thursday. I know that there are not many people signed up yet. Can you guess at numbers? (It’s only my 2nd meetup so I have no idea what is normal )

I’ll check back in this thread as I am sure that you had a time in mind.

Hi,
I would like to come to the Cardiff postcrossing meetup on 2nd March and would like to purchase some of the meetup postcards. It will be a first for me so I am not 100% sure how it works. Do we just arrive at the given time at Cardiff castle ? Do I have to sign-up for it officially?
Thanks
Kaye

Hi Jenny!
I would like to attend the Cardiff meet-up, if there’s a space. I’ve been waiting to see what my diary is like & I shall be staying with a sister in Wiltshire. This means that travel to Cardiff by train is quite straightforward, as long as there are no problems on the railway.
Best wishes,
Wendy

What a great news!
You just need to show up at the day!
Bring a pen to sign in the postcards or your personalised stamp/ sticker.
I just need to know how many postcards would you like.

The more the merrier!
Glad that you can join us!

It’ll be my first meeting too, looking forward to meeting you all!

Could I order 20 postcards?

Anyone have a recommendation where to order a little rubber stamp from?
