To this end, we carried out a members\u2019 survey to seek your views and the results were presented at the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The summer saw several walks with lunches kindly arranged by Caroline. These were very much enjoyed by those who came so we will organise more again this summer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/anglophones.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/AGM-2012-committee.gif\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-485\" title=\"AGM 2012 - committee\" src=\"http:\/\/anglophones.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/AGM-2012-committee-300x244.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"213\"><\/a>The Chinese and Chocolate event was well attended: perhaps due to the irresistible combination! July&#8217;s Hog Roast was again a big success, despite the weather being less kind to us than the previous year. We also had an educational foray into Villedieu-les-Poeles to learn more about how bells and copper are worked to create the beautiful &amp; useful objects that emerge.<\/p>\n<p>Christmas began at the 16\u00e8me Ouest restaurant with a lovely lunch and some silly games to start the festive fun.<\/p>\n<p>During these times our chosen charities were not forgotten. The Hog Roast raffle, a treasure map and our stall at the Quettreville Christmas fair all raised money and, thanks to people\u2019s generosity, \u20ac400 will be split between the two organisations.<\/p>\n<p>In February this year, we held a race afternoon at Les Unelles. Great fun was had by all, even if some of us lost the virtual shirts off our backs!!<\/p>\n<p>The Newsletter has been very well received by all since David Farr took over. Unfortunately, he no longer has the time to commit to this so we said a big thank you to him and reassured him that he is leaving it in safe hands.<\/p>\n<p>Last month\u2019s Curry Lunch was a resounding success with a good variety of dishes to try as well as a selection of delicious desserts. Members then voted for this year\u2019s charity &#8211; Cancer Support France received the majority of votes so will be our supported charity again this year.<a href=\"http:\/\/anglophones.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/AGM-2012-Audience.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-487\" title=\"AGM 2012 - Audience\" src=\"http:\/\/anglophones.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/AGM-2012-Audience-300x300.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The meeting finished by thanking members of the committee for their hard work and ideas: keep them coming!!<\/p>\n<p>If anyone is interested in joining us in helping the association to continue to develop and thrive, please contact me or any committee member.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting was then followed by tea and some very tasty cakes.<\/p>\n<p>Stevie Miller<br \/>\nPresident<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year\u2019s AGM was again held at Les Unelles with 27 members attending.
