Hi all,

I grew up in Wales, and am here to help anyone who might be travelling independently to the Bosnia & Herzegovina - Wales game in October and give an unbiased, honest opinion on hotel, travel, prices of beer, cigarettes, transport, etc., and also answer any questions anyone may have about the country.

Anyone that watched Wales during the Bobby Gould era is certainly welcome to the board (although unfortunately the board resources don't stretch to post traumatic stress counselling)! Funnily enough I was about to start a new thread regarding getting info on planning the trip to Bosnia. |

Proud to see the Welsh schools in Newport. Where?! Ysgol Gymraeg Casnewydd, Ysgol Gymraeg Ifor Hael, Ysgol Gymraeg Y Ffin & Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Teyrnon are primary schools. This consultation document regarding a potential new Welsh medium secondary in Newport is excellent for providing background to the growth of Welsh medium in south east Wales: www.newport.gov.uk/documents/Schools-and-Education/Welsh-medium-secondary-schools-consultation-English-web.pdfIf this does proceed, I think it will be only Blaenau Gwent, Monmouth & Merthyr that have no Welsh medium secondary school? |

I wasn't aware there were welsh primary's in Newport. I think there is one in Monmouth though or maybe Torfaen close to Newport as I used to see a girl get on a bus to school everyday.. I assume to a welsh school. |
