We, from left to right, Teresa Watson, Auriol Langen, Mike Milner and Pauline North, took the British Association Publicity Stand, plus the teddy banner to the Chateau de Berne English Christmas Fair at Lorgues. We also promoted the BA Christmas card sales offering a personalised card “While U Wait” service. A tiring six hours on our feet, but we met lots of BA members, chatted to plenty of British non-members, passing on membership application forms and even sold cards to the French visitors to the stand, who were impressed with our offerings. One must not forget the team photographer Shirley Wrigglesworth, who also stood and helped out all day.

Lindsay Phillips, host for the Vendange Luncheon at Domaine St-Marc Des Omedes held on 13th September, explains our table wines and the degustation of his other wines. In the immediate background Sonia Cuttell is seen supervising her willing assistants.

The trailer in the distance did not contain our main course. Cheval was not on the menu the main course was chicken and beef.

A long queue and spoilt for choice

All seated eating and drinking in beautiful September sunshine.

Our host’s produce both bottled and straight from the vine.

Cheese is served, very Claridges.

And then they were gone. 

British Association Road Signage makes the AA and RAC look very paltry.

Happy tea and coffee ladies share a joke at the insurance seminar.

The Lorgues auditorium starts to fill up with eager attendees
awaiting the start of the insurance seminar.

Professional or what? Isobel Pritchatt who was the driving force behind the seminar
gets the proceedings under way.

Down to earth the British Association stand at the insurance seminar.

After all the insurance presentations and a lively and informative 
question and answer session, the cold buffet enjoyed by all

After most major British Association events there is always a need for a table and chair moving squad. An ability too operate a three foot platform brush is essential when volunteering to help. We provide the brush you provide operational skills

After a vendange luncheon, or the more formal insurance seminar,
try the informal coffee morning in glorious late September Var sunshine.
There are so many different facets to the Var branch of the British Association.

Be it an insurance seminar or a relaxing Jazz evening there is nothing unprofessional about a BA event for members and their friends
