SPECIAL CHRISTMAS NEWSLETTER




CHRISTMAS PARTY


Our Christmas party is becoming more and more popular. We had a great party again this year and we really want to thank all of you for supporting Foal by buying tickets for our raffle. We would also like to thank our kind hosts for providing the venue and the lovely decorations which helped to make this such a festive event. And we thank them again for their generosity in housing the library for two and a half years.

The food you brought was great, we seem to have quite a few cordons bleus in our association !


Message from Phil and Katharine Claringbull

Katharine and Philip Claringbull have been very happy to host FOAL in their apartment and have enjoyed the experience of having the library in their home. They would like to thank Vicki, and the FOAL membership, for the beautiful gift of flowers they received. 



NEWS ABOUT THE MOVE AND NEW VENUE


As you know, we shall be moving from Place de la Chapelle Neuve on 17th January. One of our members, Glynis Thomas, has kindly offered to host the library.


OPENING DATES


The schedule  for the first 6 months of 2015 will come out at the beginning of January, there will be a slight hiatus in January because of the move but by February we shall be back to our normal schedule (1st Saturday and 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month).  Meanwhile, we have two dates in January at Place de la Chapelle Neuve ; Saturday 3rd January (10-12.30am) and Monday 5th January (3-6pm). This should enable you to take out a few books to tide you over.

The 2014 Man Booker prize  « The narrow road to the deep north » by Richard Flanagen has been kindly donated



QUIZ

Don’t forget our famous quiz night on 23rd January. Doors open at 5.30 at Martin Luther King


I am in regular contact with City Hall, as of 8th December, the audit of premises for associations which they had commissioned and which was due at the beginning of October, has still not been handed in !! In my first application, I was advised to ask for premises with shelves included. I thought this might be a handicap so I have informed them that we can bring our own shelves, all we need is a large room which we can equip ourselves.


But we will not let FOAL’s vicissitudes dampen our spirits and we wish you all


A MERRY CHRISTMAS





AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
