<p class="MsoNormal">You haven’t heard from me for a long time. Now I am back in
circulation I hope to resume more regular communications with you again. I have
missed this terribly and I have missed seeing you . At our book choosing
meeting last week we had a good chat afterwards and I realised how much I have
missed our chats and friendly cups of tea ! I shall do a couple of
mannings in July before the summer break and look forward to seeing you very
much.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am slowly recovering from my ordeal last year and my near
death experience (you will have been told about this I think). I still have
quite a long way<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to go (lots of rehab) I will get there. I would like to thank the
board and especially Mike for holding the fort during my absence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We would never have managed without their
dedication.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will have heard that there will be some changes in the
library ; the book sale room is going to become a meeting room & the
book sale books will go on new shelves in the main library.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are also going to be some changes in the statutes. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will find below the list of new books which should
arrive in the library quite soon. We shall be monitoring the books to see how
often they go out so that we can change our approach if necessary. We are happy
to accept suggestion for our purchases but remember, they should be suggested
with the readership in mind and not necessarily personal choices.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I remind<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you of the
email address of Kath Claringbull who will be collating the suggestions :<o:p></o:p></p>

We shall address this question in the autumn. The AGM was held at our friend Anne-Marie's & we had a great lunch party afterwards, sitting at tables under the trees overlooking the swimming pool. The food was , as usual, delicious we have some really good cooks among our members. We were lucky the heatwave hadn't started. <br />

for the library. Please take flyers & give them to people who might be
interested. We have found it difficult to recruit new members. As you know the
Antigone des Associations doesn’t yield new members & we do all we can to
advertise in English publications to little avail. One of our board members,
Claudine Soudais is very active with schools & teachers but not a lot of
return yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

go to a lot of trouble to find prizes. The fact that there are so many makes
the raffle very attractive & is a good way to raise funds for the library.
Thanks to Phil Claringbull for cleaning up afterwards<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
We had a lot of sign-ups for the « Welcome
Drinks » but not a lot of takers on the evening of the event (21st
September) so all the sign-ups were contacted (email & text message) for a
replay on the 28th & two couples turned up. Conclusion : having a
stand at the Antigone des Associations is a waste of time & effort of the
volunteers who staff the stand. Next year, we will ask another association to
put FOAL flyers on their stand & leave it at that.<o:p></o:p></div>

half an hour early on Wednesdays (15-17.30) & opening half an hour later on

members: we decided a few years ago to add a party to the AGM aiming to attract
more people as attendance to this important event in the life of an association
was very sparse. Our friend Anne-Marie has very kindly offered to hold the
party in her garden (she lives in Les Aubes, directions nearer the time). After
a brief AGM we get down to the serious businss of the day. FOAL provides the
drinks & participants bring along the food which is usually delicious &
plentiful (organisation nearer the time). Put this date in your diaries<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

there were only a few of us & no books (see how far we have come!). We
needed to raise funds & thanks to our dynamic friend Philippe Marchand we
organised events such as play readings & the quiz. Now Philippe feels he
would like to take a rest.Thanks to increased membership we have less need to
raise funds so for the moment we are slowing down on events. However, we are
open to suggestions & offers of help & would be happy to see FOAL
organising such events from time to time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
