 Please note a prompt start at 7:00 pm instead of 7:30pm due to our AGM!

 We will have a glass of wine to celebrate another good year of Amitiés Françaises before our AGM meeting at 7pm which will be followed by our lecture at 7.30pm. The doors will open at 6:45pm and we hope many of you will join us.

 We welcome all our new members and hope you enjoy our new season of lectures.

 Des Orléans à Claremont.   Présentation par Odile Hughson

 Les exils successifs de la famille du roi Louis-Philippe en Angleterre.
La Grande Bretagne a été un refuge pour la famille d’Orléans pendant plusieurs périodes au cours de plus d’un siècle. Ils y ont noué des amitiés avec des britanniques et en particulier avec la reine
Victoria. Leur vie privée est constamment mêlée aux faits historiques qui les affectent.

We hope many of you will be coming to the Wilfrid Noyce Centre, Oglethorpe Hall, Crown Court Car Park, Godalming GU7 1DY as Odile will be at the Centre to make her presentation which will start at 7:30pm. Alternatively, if you are unable to travel on the night, you can watch the lecture on Zoom (link will be emailed to you more near the time).

If you have not already done so, please renew your membership!

Request for help with refreshments

We would love to offer tea and coffee at our lectures but to do so, we would need some help in organising the refreshments. We can take it in turn and organise a roster. If you are willing to help, please contact me. It would be much appreciated.

 Coffee and French conversation session: Friday 18th October from 10.00am

 We will meet up again for a coffee and a chat at the King’s Arms Hotel in Godalming High Street from 10.00am until 11:30am. You can arrive and leave at any time between 10 and 11:30. Our chats are very informal and relaxed and we hope to see many of you!
