Flamingos, fromage et Côtes du Rhône

Chers Amis,
The next meeting of the Cercle Français de Belfast will be …
on Mercredi 20 avril 2016 à 19h.30 in the Dark Horse Coffee House,
30-34, Hill Street Belfast BT1 2LB

Topic: Flamingos, fromage et Côtes du Rhône
Speaker: Julian Greenwood

While we still have our Assemblée générale on 11th May and our Annual Celebration Dinner on 18th May, April's meeting will be the last talk in the current programme and promises to be a very special event - not to be missed.  Julian, a noted ornithologist, takes us under his wing to share his specialist knowledge and enthusiasm for this beautiful region and he’ll be talking about more than just the wildlife.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Dark Horse Coffee House on Wednesday evening.
À bientôt,
Philip

Another great Festival.


Philip was in Dublin last weekend to attend the 17th Annual Franco-Irish Literary Festival.  This year the theme was Food for thought/Les mots à la bouche and 14 writers from France and Ireland reflected on this through a variety of readings, interviews and panel discussions.
Philip, who is now a veteran of these gatherings reports that it was another great festival!  You can get a "flavour" of proceedings and savour the programme at this link.
