Chers Amis
This
month’s big event was the French dinner at Waves restaurant. Having the event
on a Sunday evening meant that we had the restaurant to ourselves. This turned
out to be fortuitous as we had greater numbers than expected and packed the
restaurant out. However, what should have been an enjoyable, carefree, evening
was overshadowed by the bush fires at Tathra which have stunned our community
as a whole and impacted on some of us directly.
Thankfully,
our members living in the area seem to have been spared the worst, but for
those who have had the experience of having a near-miss bushfire experience we
know how upsetting even the threat of loss can be.
Let’s
all celebrate our good fortune by coming to our next French Movie Night on 24th
April (details on the Events page) and Café 22 on Sunday 13th May at 2.30pm to enjoy a
concert by the “Lumière” ensemble of French and European, Renaissance and
Baroque music - full details will be in next month’s La Mouette.
On
a sadder note I have just learned that a Past President of our club, Rex
Speller, has passed away. Jan & Neil Porter have recalled some memories of
Rex on page 3 of the March La Mouette.
Amicalement, Rob McCombie
