A new contact group has been formed in the Haute Vienne town of St Yrieix La Perche - Limousin
The group is the brain child of Dutch couple Frans and Toke Verschuren, who, when thy moved to the town nearly 18 months ago, struggled at first to find much of the information they needed to establish them in their new life.
Apart from the British, it is hoped that local French and Dutch people will be joining too, enabling everyone to benefit from an exchange of language and culture.
The general monthly "meetings" will initially take the form of a casual drop in for coffee and a chat and will be driven by "user demand".
From this a range of activities will be developed to cater for the varying and individual interests of the group.
Connect for Friendship
(Connectff) Association
The key word
is "Friendship"
and everyone's welcome to pop in for a coffee and a chat. Friday 2nd May, 2008 NB ~ All these meetings start at 10 am and finish at midday.
05 55 75 48 76 or get in touch by E-mail connectff87@yahoo.com
A Book Club has been formed by Connect FF
If interested please contact
Pat Dixon 05 53 55 21 85 or Vernon Goddard 05 55 09 94 90
The Book Club will meet on the 3rd Friday of each month at “Le Cheval Blanc”, St Yrieix, commencing 10.30am for coffee and hopefully, lively discussion on the book of the month.
NEXT MEETING
Friday 16th May, 2008
"We need to talk about Kevin" by Lionel Shriver Reviews of the Book and information about the author are available on the St Yrieix Book club Blog.
This will be followed by lunch for any one wishing to stay.
