a report on the May 2010 Brython gathering

[potia]

I said I would write some kind of report on the Brython gathering 30 April-2 May 2010. The attached is a rather hastily typed up report of events from my perspective. I have tried to be clear but it may be a bit muddled in places.

I know I have missed out things. For example I've not mentioned the brief conversations we had about possibilities for future gatherings that took place on Sunday as the ideas for these are for others to put forward.

I am sure some of the others will have different perspectives on some of the events. Different aspects will have varying levels of significance to each of us.

One thing I would like to emphasis is that for me this was an intense experience on many levels and I will be processing some bits for a while yet. Through it all I felt supported and cared for by everyone there and I do not have the words to express how much that has meant to me.

Thank you all and in particular thank you Francis.

apart from what can only be described as an exhilarating and exhausting - in equal measure - weekend, the greatest 'gain' for me was meeting some of brython for the first time and getting to know those who i had already met a little better.

with the upcoming October meeting and next year's Calan mai meeting - myself and Potia have had ideas people! beware! - it means that the community feel is going to be stronger and as such we can broach deeper and more meaningful discussion with people we are getting to know better and trust more. add to this, it will allow for practical application of what we have been discussing too.

I have some ideas' too & I think we will see Brython move on to the next stage
