Request from Thury-Harcourt

Our Association has received a request from Guy Le Coz to help in accommodating a 45 year old French woman for between 2 and 4 weeks in May this year. The woman is currently unemployed and seeks to improve her English in order to widen her job prospects. She is willing to pay towards her keep, but would hope that she will be able to offset costs by baby-sitting, etc. With the examination season arriving, she might also be able to help with French conversation practice.
If anybody is interested in helping can they contact Graham Jones and he will put them in contact with Guy who is dealing with it at the Thury end

News (and Photo Appeal)

The inactivity of the blog recently should not be taken as a indication that nothing has been happening with the Association. In fact a lot has been going on unreported and members have been involved with both social and fundraising events. Last month 10 members travelled to Axminster to play the Axminster twinners at skittles. Last month also saw the Grizzly Run and the Association supplied a number of race marshals, and in return the organizers made a very generous donation of £350 towards the work of the Association. This is possibly the biggest single donation in our history the Association is grateful to the members who made this possible by volunteering to be marshals.
Does anyone have photos of our members at either event for our archives and/or publication on the blog?. Please contact our archivist Graham Jones or any member of the committee .
