I am sure there are many wondering what the plans are for the French meeting this year. Here's the current situation.

The 2014 meeting at St Amans was another great success, and even more than we expected due to the inclusion of the GSFR group who are very enthusiastic and the contingent from Spain who swelled our numbers. There were some issues with the site on the last weekend of the season, ( lack of choice in the restaurant, sanitary facilities rather run down), and we seemed to have filled up most of the available ''tent'' space.

We have been very lucky to have had Mark & Gemma ( gemmasun) on site during the season to make arrangements with the management and to provide certain facilities, as well as negotiate great rates for the camping, which has enabled us to break even for the whole event. Unfortunately M&G will no longer be at St Amans as their employer ( Eurocamp) have pulled out of the site and moved elsewhere.

As we are likely to increase our numbers substantially this year and the fact that St Amans is now a non starter, we are looking for a suitable venue elsewhere, and hopefully more central. I have been scouring France on the internet for months and have travelled a fair distance, but nothing entirely suitable has emerged, although three possibilities have been found, and hopefully a decision will be made within the next few weeks.

There will be a meeting this year, just hold on tight and keep an eye on the site.

We will also be looking for some volunteers this year, especially someone with some computer/technical know how to help with putting our kit together ( We have our own projector and speakers) with presenters kit and software, and someone to liaise with the presenters. Please put your hand up if you would like to help! thanks.
