A group means a family or a group of students aged 16 to 25 years old. All family members or students in a group must be booked on a single form. There is a 50% discount if you attend for only one day or part of a day. This charge covers entertainment on the Saturday night and the cost of the lessons, teaching materials, photocopying, coffee or tea in the morning breaks and the Friday afternoon break, and ad-hoc expenses. It also covers, for the under 16s who are not charged, the cost of the Saturday evening entertainment. There is a charge of 5 for the Dydh Tregedna, and 15 for the Cramming Day. The registration charge (above) is NOT payable if you only attend the Dydh Tregedna or Cramming Day on the Friday. If you would like additional tickets for the Saturday evening entertainment, perhaps for family or friends not attending the weekend, these can be purchased for 5.00 in advance or 7.00 at the door on the night. It is very important that both we and the hotel know in good time how many people will attend and what their particular requirements are, especially with respect to Cornish lessons. There are TWO forms that you need to complete BEFORE 28 th February 2019: 1. The Accommodation booking form, which must be sent direct to the hotel payment details and the address are on the form. 2. The Entertainment and Lessons booking form, which must be sent to the Kowethas payment details and the address are on the form. The hotel cannot process the entertainment and lessons booking form, and the Kowethas cannot book the hotel accommodation, lunches and extra evening meals for you, so please do ensure that you send the forms to the correct address! Note also that although the deadline for bookings is 28 th February, and the rates quoted cannot be guaranteed after that date, it really will help us enormously if you book as early as possible to give us more time to tailor the weekend to meet everyone s needs. For many of us involved in promoting Kernewek, at whatever level, the annual Pennseythen Gernewek is the highlight of the year. The committee of Kowethas an Yeth Kernewek is sure that will be no exception, and we look forward to seeing you in Newquay.
