Vendredi, le 15 Février
Galettes et Accordéonistes
Members present enjoyed this evening with the
usual enthusiasm of cooking the crêpes and galettes
and coating with many extremely interesting and tasty fillings.
This year we had the additional pleasure of
the Accordéonistes - whom most members had heard
before at the Christmas meeting. They played before and during the meal -
all very enjoyable.
Samedi, le 15 Mars
Dîner Annuel
This was to have taken place at Chloes in
Burton, but due to unforeseen circumstances was cancelled at very short
notice by Chloes; and eventually booked at The International Hotel in Derby.
The consensus of opinion - it was a very good
evening.
