Events
The activities sub-committee organises an event every month, except August. We aim to offer a wide variety of bilingual activities to cater for every taste – guided tours, visits to historic buildings, interesting towns and villages and talks on various topics. Many outings are accompanied by convivial lunches. They also offer the chance to hear both languages spoken and to practise your language skills chatting to other members in a friendly environment.
