Not a firm commitment yet, but I have pencilled  Llantrisant on 17th April 2005 in my diary.

Are non-Welsh folks welcome too ? Llantrisant would be really easy for me in Gloucestershire

Llantrisant is easily accessible from the M4 junction 34.

Anyone who can make it would be made welcome.


Don't forget about the toll fee to enter Wales at the Severn Bridge - there is no charge to get back into England.

I'm not welsh either, but any chance of meeting other RootsChatters must be a good idea.

My brother lives in Llantrisant, so at least I have a bed there !
He hasn't asked me to trace his (welsh) wife's ancestors (Davis and Thompson) - yet !  ;D
