We discussed the forth coming visit by the French and possible activities. A number of people ask questions about the itinery. We also showed a short video that had been created by Leslie Mccann for publicity purposes.

At 7.45 we had a delicious supper comprised of dishes brought by the attendees. This was followed by our Musical Entante which included some live music (Piano and violin) enjoyed by all. During the musical questions we were also treated to excerpts of music of all types for people to identify. A very enjoyable evening was had by all.

Farewell Andrea

On Friday the 7th of March we held our AGM. Sadly Andrea resigned as chairperson. A significant event as she had been the first chairperson when the Friends of nevers had started official exchanges with people in Nevers in 1984. After a break she returned as chairperson in 2019. Since Covid, Andrea has helped us organise a Murder Mystery in a French Chateau. Our Jazz Cafe soiree, including a little skit with Rene. The fifthieth Anniversary which included a barn dance enjoyed by all and a visit to Oxford. Andrea told us about some of the highlights of her membership, and was given a small gift as a token of the Societies appreciation. After the AGM some of our members paid tribute to Andrea in a song. After the AGM we had a bring and share supper and a quiz.
