CORNISH LANGUAGE WEEKEND 2019
                                                  Friday 5th April to Sunday 7th April

                                  Sandy Lodge Hotel, Hilgrove Road, Newquay, Cornwall, TR7 2QY

                             Kowethas An Yeth Kernewek will be hosting another Cornish Language
                             weekend for all those interested in the Cornish language. The language
                             weekend offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in which complete
                             beginners through to advanced speakers can enjoy a range of classes,
                             activities and talks to suit ALL levels. Entertainment and an excursion are
                             also planned.

Now a well-established popular part of the weekend, a ‘Dydh Tregedna’ will take place on Friday 5th,
so that more established speakers can join in the fun. If you sign up for this only Cornish is allowed
so…be warned, but don’t be afraid! 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.

The Sandy Lodge Hotel in Newquay is a family run hotel situated about a quarter of a mile from the
railway station. All rooms are en suite, with television and tea and coffee making facilities. Parking is
available in the hotel and in the adjacent St Anne’s Road. The hotel has a residents’ lounge, bar and
dance floor – which we will use over the weekend.

The hotel has single rooms, double/twin rooms and family rooms which have either a double and a
single or a double with bunks. The cost for two nights’ half board in double, twin, single or family rooms
is £100 per adult or child 16 or over, £50 for children from 4 to 15 years (children are free up to 3 years).

Accommodation is on a half board basis with dinner on Friday and Saturday nights, and breakfast on
Saturday and Sunday mornings.
You may also choose to take advantage of an optional buffet lunch on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The
cost of this for each day is £8 per adult or child 16 or over, and £5 per child 15 or under. You must order
and pay for lunches on the hotel booking form, even if you are not staying at the hotel.
And if you will be attending the weekend but not staying at the hotel you can join everyone else for
dinner on Friday and/or Saturday night at a cost of £14.25 per adult or child 16 or over per meal, £8 per
child under 15 or under per meal, which you must book in advance on the hotel booking form.

The hotel will issue vouchers for lunches and extra evening meals, which you will need to hand in at the
dining room before each meal. These vouchers should be collected from reception when you arrive at
the hotel (at check-in for those of you staying at the hotel).

Special dietary or other requirements should be specified on the hotel booking form.

Alternatives are available at extra cost. In particular the hotel is sometimes able to provide
accommodation on Thursday night for those people attending the Cramming Day or Dydh Tregedna, and
you may be able to extend your stay into the following week. Please contact the hotel as soon as
possible if this is of interest – contact details are on the second page of the accommodation form.

                                                                                                   P.T.O.
Brief Programme (subject to minor changes):
    • Friday: ‘Dydh Tregedna’, 1030-1600. Cramming Day, 1030-1600 - thorough revision for
        everyone, including those taking Cornish Language Board exams in 2019. Both with a break for
        lunch.
    • Friday Evening: check in to accommodation; 1900 Dinner; 2000 meet up in the bar for music,
        poetry and getting to know each other.
    • Saturday: 0800 Breakfast; 0900 to 1230 Kernewek lessons/activities; 1245 Lunch. After lunch an
        optional excursion led in Kernewek with English translation; 1900 Dinner, followed by
        entertainment in the bar from 2000.
    • Sunday: 0800 Breakfast; 0900 to 1230 Kernewek lessons/activities; 1245 Lunch, followed by a
        final get together, summary of the weekend, and goodbye until next time!
The registration charge payable to the Kowethas is £28 per person or group for the weekend for
members of the Kowethas or £33 per person or group for the weekend for non-members. 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 28th 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 28th 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.
