About Us

Réans, Armagnac, 32 Gers, France
Our objective is to promote friendship between women of all nationalities living in Gascony, SW France, to share our interests and to offer help when needed. The Club started in 2008, with twenty English ladies living in Gascony, using a foreign language and experiencing a new life. Since then, several different groups have been added and our membership has grown into the hundreds, with new ladies moving to the area and ladies who have lived here a while, who have discovered us, who want to make new acquaintances and discover new areas of interest. Today we have eleven nationalities, and our speaking/working language is English. The GLC meets on the second Tuesday of each month, excluding July and August.Every member receives an email each month, giving the name of the restaurant, the chosen, menu and a booking form. In 2014, we became a non-profit making Association, known as Ladies Lunch Club de l’Armagnac and was re-named in 2019 to Gascogne Ladies Club. Our annual subscription fee of 10 € is payable in January each year. Each member of the Club may participate in some or all of our various groups

Book club meeting April 2015

Our March book, Song of Time by Ian Macleod certainly invoked a good discussion and most people had appreciated reading it.  
One of those book club books that we may not have chosen ourselves but glad we have now read.

April 16th meeting:  
Middle Age: A Romance by Joyce Carol Oates


May 21st meeting:  
The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka



June 18th meeting:  Bel Canto by Ann Patchett 



July 16th meeting:  A Classic of your choice – pre 1950


August we will have another ‘garden party’ – books to be decided.

Here is a reminder of a few books people were talking about:

Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro
Mr Mac & Me by Esther Freud
A book by Terry Pratchett

Thanks to those who came to the meeting last week and to Sue M. for her amazing cakes!  
Sadly we said goodbye to Susan who’s moving away, but she’s coming back to visit us.  
See you in April, if not before.

Jackie
