French language – Interested?

Would you like to brush up your French?  Do you like to go to France for holidays and would you like to communicate with French people more effectively?

On  Monday and Wednesday afternoons in a relaxed atmosphere we use a  mixture of realistic dialogues and manipulation of up-to-date passages.   That way group members can re-organise the French they’ve already learned so as to express new ideas they hadn’t thought of before.  The Monday group also have access to narratives from the world of French speakers seen on the TV computer screen.

You’ll soon be able to explain to friends in the group what activities you’ve enjoyed recently and do that in authentic French.   That’s always a source of fun.

So, if all that appeals, come and see me in the Tuesday coffee morning or phone me on  526-5071.   “A bientot!”

New chairperson

Due to personal reasons Tony Kneebone felt the need to stand down as Chair.

The Committee is very pleased to be able to appoint Dot Brannigan to fill the vacancy thus arising. Dot will now hold the position though to the next AGM in May 2018.

Dot joined our committee in May and is the joint group leader of our Practical Gardening group. I am sure you will all join me in wishing Dot all the best in her new position and will give her your support.

Please share this information with your group.
