CfB : Assemblée Générale 18 octobre 2023

 Chers Amis,

The next meeting of the Cercle Français de Belfast will take place on:

mercredi 18 octobre 2023, in the Ramada Hotel 20 Talbot St, Belfast BT1 2LD

Topic: Assemblée générale

You are warmly invited to our first in-person event of the new season on Wednesday 18 October at 7.30pm in the CS Lewis room of the Ramada Hotel, Cathedral Quarter, Belfast.  It’s our AGM and we promise to keep the formal part of our proceedings to a minimum leaving plenty of time for catch ups and a few French-themed items of interest including some music and a special book share for you to take away.

Please see our programme in the tab above.  You will see that most of our events will take place online while the venues for others will be notified prior to the event. 

We are planning to have occasional extra “café causerie” events where else but in our favourite café - The Dark Horse. Be sure then to be signed up for our regular monthly bulletin.

We will also keep you posted on France/French themed events we hear about locally and one such source has caught our attention at the Open Learning Centre at QUB. As well as language classes offered by Cercle stalwarts, Brigitte, Hélène and Vanessa there is also a series of French history talks by Sam Thompson who is the speaker at our February event which we are planning to host in the Queen’s Quarter.

For more information see … www.qub.ac.uk/ol

We hope you agree that it is a wide ranging programme.

Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday 18 October

À bientôt, Philip
