TWIG CORONATION 'AFTERNOON TEA STYLE' LUNCH
2023-06-06 12:30 - 15:00 | Chez Hilary’s home
12.30 for 1300 Coronation cocktail/mocktail welcome

The TWIG Committee would like to invite you all to a Coronation Lunch. We know the official Coronation is in May but with all the French bank holidays it was decided that June would be a better month to hold our Coronation event hoping as many members as possible would like to come along.

Our Coronation Lunch will have an Afternoon Tea theme to it and will be a bring and share event. More details on this from mid May.

At the moment, we ask that you save the date and let me Fran know if you will be able to come along.

These events take planning and we would like to have an idea of numbers making sure we have seating for everyone on the day.

TWIG WALK
2023-05-26 10:00 - 17:00 | Thil
The May TWIG walk will take place on Friday 26th May from Thil.
We will meet at 10:00 at the Marie. Parking in the centre not far from the Marie. There will be lunch afterwards at restaurant ‘Le P’tit thil ‘ opposite the marie.
This is a flat walk about 2 hrs 30 minutes. Short cuts available if necessary. When we tried it out there was a short section with long grass. Hopefully this is cut before our walk, however we advise long trousers tucked into socks and long sleeves. We recommend anti tick spray which we can supply. A hat is probably a good idea there isn’t a lot of shade.
As we had a problem on the last walk contacting people who didn’t arrive at the meeting place could we ask everyone to give their mobile number when they confirm they are coming by email to Joyce or Wendy.
Can you please contact Joyce directly if you would like to attend the walk and/or lunch, please find her details in the member directory.

APRIL WALK
2023-04-28 10:00 - 14:00 | Launac
The next walk will be on Friday 28th April, starting at 10.00 from Niki Adie’s home near Launac. The walk is circular from Niki’s and is around 8km of wooded walk.

There is plenty of parking at Niki’s however if it is wet it will be better to meet in Launac near the church and car share as her parking area can become quite wet underfoot after rain. If this is the case we will meet at 09.50 near the church to car share to Niki’s, which is about 5 minutes away.

Lunch will be in Launac.

Can you please let Joyce Booth know if you will be coming along for the walk and staying for lunch. Joyce’s details can be found in the TWIG Members Directory.

All TWIG members and their partners and dogs are welcome to the walk.
