EVENTS

Conversation lunches. At noon, on the third Sunday of the month, unless notified otherwise, language enthusiasts gather for lunch at a local venue to practice the art of conversation, in French of course.  The venues have been selected as they have a convivial atmosphere and are located within easy driving distance.  Many offer low-priced meals.
  • March 18: Sunday at noon, conversation @ Tura Beach Tavern   
  • April 15:  Sunday at noon, conversation @ Lake View Hotel, Merimbula  
Come along and enjoy good company and improve your conversational French in a relaxed, supportive environment!  Neil will look after you and your bookings. You can either ring him on 6495 6860 or email afsaphir@gmail.com. La Mouette will announce date and venue month by month.
Petanque will continue as in previous years on the last Saturday of each month at Mandeni resort, Sapphire Coast Drive, north of Merimbula where we run two games simultaneously. So bring a thermos - a nibble for mid-morning - a barbecue or picnic lunch - a bottle of wine - it's a very sociable day. Bookings not required.  10 o'clock start.  Cost is $2 a person - payable on the day. Directions: Drive north on Sapphire Coast Drive, ca 2 km north of Tura Beach Shops turn-off you reach the Stonehouse Cottage Shell petrol station. Turn left there, following the sign Mandeni.  At the fork ca 500m into the property take the right to the sports facilities.   For enquiries please email us on afsaphit@gmail.com. 

Special events will continue, although there will not necessarily be a monthly event.  

Planned events:
  • April 22:  BBQ and walk.  We'll be walking from Haycocks Beach in the Ben Boyd National Park to Barmouth Beach on the Pambula River and return - approximately 6 kilometers all up.  We'll have morning tea at Barmouth and then return to Haycock Point for a picnic lunch.  Wood BBQs are available, but you need to bring in your own wood   a picnic is much easier!  The walk is rated easy, although it is recommended that walkers wear reasonably robust footwear.  This is a beautiful walk with outstanding coastal scenery.  Extensions are possible for anyone wanting a longer walk.
  • July 14:  Bastille Day function
  • September 10:  AGM and Dinner
  • October:  French Movie (to be confirmed)
  • November 25: Christmas Lunch and Coupe d'Antibes
