Entertainment and an excursion are also planned. Now a well-established popular part of the weekend, a Dydh Tregedna will take place on Friday 5 th, so that more established speakers can join in the fun.

The now equally well-established Cramming Day will also be held on Friday suitable for anyone wishing to revise and consolidate what they ve learnt during the year as well as anyone taking Cornish Language Board examinations in 2019. Sessions will be held at all levels and, for those taking the exams, cover everything needed with plenty of practice.

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.
