Chers Amis
Your new
committee has hit the ground running and on 23rd October our members enjoyed a
Cajun lunch at the Wharf Restaurant; the latest in our ongoing festival of food
with a French influence. The event was well patronised by members as well as invited
guests and members’ meals received a $10 subsidy from club reserves. We have to
thank Secretary Mike Warren for organising the lunch and formulating the very
challenging trivia quiz. See page 2 of the November La Mouette for details and
photos.
Elsewhere
in La Mouette you will see details of our new home for the club’s collection of
French books and other material which has been re-housed from the Pambula
Aquatic Centre to the Tura Marrang Library & Community Centre. This move
makes our collection more accessible to members and provides much safer and
appropriate storage. Our thanks go to Julie Welsh who negotiated the move with
the Bega Valley Shire authorities and the local Library staff, and to Gai and
Phillip Jacobs who helped Julie in moving everything to the Tura library. Many
thanks also to Secretary Mike Warren for locating & fixing a key safe to
the cupboard.
Our last
social function for 2016 will be the Alliance Française
Christmas BBQ and the battle for the Coupe d’Antibes
which will be held at Mandeni on 27 November. Full details are
provided in La Mouette. Petanque players are a much happier group of people
than international tennis players and always put on a great performance for
their spectators so please note the date in your diaries and come along and
enjoy a day of food, wine and francophone fun.
Amicalement
Rob McCombie
