Are you sociable? And organised? Read on!

I know that those of you who have come along to our in person meet ups have really enjoyed them and, that ideally, we would organise more. But…France is a big country and we are fairly spread out.

I have been thinking that it would be nice to start some regional meet up groups. The problem is that there’s only one of me…!

So, if you would be interested in becoming a coordinator please make yourselves known . Once I have a few willing volunteers we can get together virtually and create a cunning plan, but the first step is obviously to see if there are any of you who would be up for doing this?

If you are interested, or even just MIGHT be interested, please drop a yes into the comments and we’ll take it from there.

At present we have a max of 4 weeks per year in France, including time required to continue sorting the house. In time post retirement, yes I think I would be interested, but don’t have the bandwidth right now.

Sharing the load and location is a GOOD idea though. :smiley:

I’ll volunteer for the Var Cat, unless in the more than lightly event someone better qualified puts their name forward :slightly_smiling_face:

Once I get settled in a permanent place (hopefully before September, but if not, after that), I’ll be happy to help out in the Occitanie West/Nouvelle-Aquitaine SE area (not the beaches area)

Well that’s a positive start !

If someone volunteers for Normandy / Brittany, I will ´assist’!

And….

If you are happy to get involved, please put yourself forward EVEN if you think there’s no one in your area , i strongly suspect that people may well come out of the woodwork if there’s a meet up organised within striking distance.
We shall see…

You can count me in for Burgundy.
Plenty of accommodation, restaurants & things to do if peeps want to make a mini break out of it.

I’m new to the site, but people have already been very helpful and very friendly - for which I am extremely grateful and happy :slight_smile: I’m in the 75 (Paris) so would be up for meeting people around here, but not sure I’ve got much time to arrange something. I could possibly help out though.

I could arrange something in the Charente or Haute Vienne if people are interested. Preferably Angoulême or Limoges.

Yes! I would be interested. I just arrived in France and looking to meet people. I’m in Rennes currently but it may not be the place I land permanently. I am likely to stay in Brittany/Normandy though.

Ok early next week I’ll message everyone who has indicated a possible interest and we’ll (collectively!) work out the best way for a short online meeting to see how best to proceed!
