Dear Ladies
We are delighted to invite you to a very special summer
BBQ lunch
on Thursday 18th July
at Château de Buros

This is a favourite venue and they have offered us a fantastic menu. We hope that will be able to spend a leisurely and convivial afternoon together in the shade of the Chateau grounds. We also have the option of being inside should the weather not co-operate.

The BBQ is open to partners and guests. Please book early as numbers will be capped at 80. Once the cap is reached additional names will be added to the waiting list. You are welcome to bring house guests with you if someone is visiting. In the event that we are over subscribed with a lot of guests, we may need to ask you to restrict guests in order to ensure that all members (plus 1 guest) can attend. We hope that it won’t be necessary to implement this. Please bring your cheque for €20 (members) and €25 (each guest) made payable to “Ladies Lunch Club de l’Armagnac” or cash in an envelope marked with your name and the number of guests.
Deadline for booking: The deadline for booking is Thursday 4th July (or sooner if the cap is reached). But please don’t wait for this date as we expect that this event will get booked up very quickly. Numbers will be accepted after this date (by email) if we still have places. I will advise on the status when I send out the reminder email and list of responders. Please note, that we will need to charge for any cancellations received on or after Monday 15th July (within 72 hours of the lunch).
Book now to avoid disappointment: Please can you submit your reservation as soon as possible. Early booking will ensure that you have a place and avoid disappointment. If you have problems with the form or think that it has not worked or prefer to send an email, please respond to this by email indicating how many guests you would like to register. In this case, I will manually enter your wishes. I will send out the reminder email and list of responses next week.
The LLC Committee look forward to welcoming you to this event and we are all keeping our fingers crossed for a rain-free lunch with you, your partners and guests.
Keep the date free: Extra Special Summer Picnic on Tuesday 13th August at Chateau de Bascous (near to Eauze). This will be an “bring and share picnic”, in which you bring something for 6-8 people (eg a savoury salad, quiche, etc or a dessert). This will be free and will be open to as many guests as you would like to bring. LLC will be sponsoring the venue, wine and some food.

I will send out a bulletin of all other news and events over the summer. Please can you let me know if you have anything to add.
Astrid Florentinus
We would like to let you know that Astrid Florentinus has passed away on 16 June. She was a long member of our Club, and was an active part of Talking Shop. She was well known for her warm hearted stories about buying and selling antique furniture. She was born in the Dutch Indies, lived to the Netherlands and lived for many years in France. She will be remembered by many of our members, but her Dutch friends will never forget her lessons in Indonesian cooking and keep the finest of memories of this strong and gentle woman. She left for Holland 2 years ago and has been buried in Holland We all wish her family strength and love.
Best wishes
