Ladies Luncheon March 2014 with guest speaker Ruth Hartley

Our next LLC Luncheon is on 
Tuesday, 11TH March 2014 13h at 

Auberge La Baquere 

in 32190 PRENERON

The Restaurant is situated just 3 mins from the N124, between Demu and Vic Fezensac.  
You take the D157 towards Castillon Debats.  The turning is well signposted with a large green sign advertising the Auberge La Baquere. 
From Nogaro or Eauze it will take roughly 25 mins. 

Not only do we start off with a delightful new venue, but we also have the privilege to welcome 

Ruth Hartley, 

as our Guest Speaker, to talk about her first book, which has recently been released  - 

‘Shaping of Water’. 

This is a novel, based on Central Africa, where Ruth lived, so we can look forward to hearing not only about her book, but also of the time she spent in Africa.
  
Her talk will commence at 12.15, for approx.30 minutes, so we would ask you to arrive at 12.00 noon if you would like to hear her talk, so that ‘booking in’ for the lunch can start.  

This will be continued at 12.45 and lunch will be served at 1.00 p.m.

Dear Ladies,

I would like to start on a personal note to say thank you for your support in electing me as the new Chairman of the LLC.  
I look forward to continuing with all the good work that has been done by my predecessors.  
Together with Jane Cooper (Secretary), Pippa Brown (Treasurer) and the new Committee Members – Ginster Michel, Loes Quak, Kate Notman and Pat Wright 
I feel we have a strong team to address the needs of our growing and popular Club.

Can I also take this opportunity to remind you that Gaye Piper will be collecting any clothes (in good condition) for the  
BLOOPS  Charity sale in April.

Also, Patricia Colan would like any plastic bottle TOPS to go to a Charity who recycle them to make chairs for the disabled. 

We look forward to seeing everyone,  and wish you all an enjoyable lunch.
Sue Sullivan
On behalf of the Committee
