ROYAL JUBILEE DINNER June 2nd

 

 


 

ROYAL JUBILEE DINNER

Salle de la Baritaudière n°2 at 7 p.m.

The evening was a huge success,   Michele did her creative thing and set the ambiance for the evening with bunting and table decorations.

 

Members had been invited to provide all the food – apart from bread and wine – and they did so right royally.   I couldn’t believe that it would all be eaten, but eaten it was and with considerable gusto!.  Many thanks to everyone who provided such a magnificent spread.

  

 

     

Entertainment was provided as usual by some talented members; noteworthy were Mike and Sylvianne who duetted to Mike’s guitar.  As the evening progressed more and more folk felt the urge to sing and it was a joyous occasion.

 

Many a health was drunk to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Soirée Jambalaya – Tuesday April 5th

For our first meal of the year, we chose to order a Jambalaya from our favourite ‘traiteur’. Pour notre premier dîner de l’année, nous avions commandé un Jambalaya chez notre Traiteur favori de Sion,

absolutedly delicious. absolument délicieux et épicé.

Tables were set with aperos, a kir, and appropriate decorations created by our artist Michèle as usual. Les tables, comme d’habitude décorées par notre artiste Michèle, étaient préparées avec des amuse-bouches et des kirs.

 

 

   

Members soon tucked in as the wine flowed and the noise rose……..

Les adhérents se sont vite installés et le bruit est monté au fur et à mesure que les verres se vidaient….

….. a good time was had by all. Tout le monde a passé un très bon moment!…

Picnic at Lac du Jaunay July / Juillet 2021

Bastille Day had come and gone, not with a whimper exactly, but largely unnoticed in the Vendee.   However, the loyal members of Le Pont a Sion were ready to party

Josette arrived early – ‘comme d’habitude’.   to put up the sign and bag the best spot for us all.           

After slicing some saucisson, she was ready for the arrival of everyone else.
