Meal at L'Hirondelle 29 fev

The dinner of what Michel Saboya calls 'notre association de rando gastro' at L'Hirondelle on Friday 29th February proved very successful and most enjoyable. Twenty-four people were present. Sadly, Gloria Duncan and her party could not be among them, as planned, owing to the death of Gloria's mother in the UK. I am sure that everyone will join me in extending sincere condolences to Gloria on her sad loss. There were several newcomers who, it is hoped, will be persuaded to join the 'rando' element of our association. These include Bob and Lorraine Walker from Arnac, who intend to live up to their surname and join in some future walks, and Mike and Gill Samson from Montpezat. It was a truly international gathering , English, Scottish, French, Dutch and Belgian, very relaxed and agreeable. As usual, the meal and service at L'Hirondelle were superb and much appreciated. The 'boss' did more than he'd agreed to and provided an aperitif, potage, entree, plat principal, cheese, dessert, coffee and wine for the princely sum of 26 euros per head, which represents extremely good value for money. It was a very pleasant evening, thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the event. Thinking ahead to the end of June, after which our association will hand over to the Espinas team for the months of July and August, I propose a bring and share picnic as our 'end of year' social event. Let me know your views on this and suggestions for a suitable venue. Helen daxlore@wanadoo.fr 05 63 24 23 52
