  I find that hard to believe! That is fast growth for an non-English language in the UK to hire out a whole arena complex beating the English! LOL. Unbelievable!

  Thank you Darkspilver for pointing that out. I have lost track of what is going on in Britain as I no longer live there and I tend to focus more on Polish than any languages. Never knew that there were meetings in Slovak and Lithuanian though I can confirm that Polish were established a lot longer in the East European language field that is.

  Slimboyfat: There is currently 5 circuits in Scotland namely Angus No 1, Ayrshire No 1, Fife No 1, Lanarkshire No 1 and Midlothain No 1. The letter mentions that there will be 6 new circuits in Scotland so this suggest a 6th new one is to be formed but I can't see where the progress and increase is coming from. The foreign language field is the only one that is increasing at the moment. Just look at the number of foreign language conventions that are taking place in 2018 in which some languages are having for the first time such as Japanese, Slovak and Lithuanian.

  Wifibandit: Thank you so much for the letter and to the one who leaked it in the first place.
