And a very interesting Quiz from Liliane!!! Et un Quiz très intéressant de Liliane !!!
ROYAL JUBILEE DINNERThe 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.
”The Queen – God Bless Her”
15 euros for Members – 20 euros for non-members.
Barring a resurgence in the Covid numbers in the Vendee, we are now almost back to normal. Last Thursday a good crowd of Members were able to enjoy an evening devoted to discussing beer in all its’ forms. Marie is now in the process of organising an excursion for Members to a brewery locally – doubtless involving tastings!
Friday also welcomed 27 Members and friends to our regular quiz morning, with another new Member. Welcome J J !
Also in prospect is a ‘Soiree Couscous, to be held of Thursday 7th October at La Baritaudiere. (15 euros each by cheque for Members) Also planned is an end of year/early Christmas meal at a venue which we have all previously enjoyed. So, watch this space and be ready to sign up with Dominique for these events either on Thursday evenings or Friday mornings.
Happy times are here again!

Whilst mantaining social distance and sanitization, eighteen Members of Le Pont a Sion gathered for the first time after lockdown for the Friday morning quiz.
Although not permitted to serve coffee, the atmosphere was nonetheless convivial.
….. but Cecile, having risen late, was not quite up to speed with some music questions! Will improve next time and when the ghetto-blaster works better!
Last Friday, we celebrated our President’s birthday with a delicious cake made by Jean-Paul’s wife : vendredi dernier, nous avons fêté l’anniversaire de notre Présidente avec un délicieux gâteau fait par l’épouse de Jean-Paul :
We then proceeded very seriously to our usual quizzes with three teams, orchestrated by Brian : nous sommes ensuite passés à nos quiz habituels, avec nos trois équipes très concentrées, orchestrées par Brian …
