Cancelled PIG 11 November

Hello All

Pig  this coming Wednesday is cancelled largely due to me having a husband/ Dad home on a public holiday. It is rare so I am making the most of it.

 

The next meeting is on Nov 18th chez Ruth. Please email her ASAP and by that I mean by next Friday at the latest.

 

For those who can't make that and for newcomers, We will all be at Melina on November 25th.

Enjoy your weekend

PS:  Before I forget, I mentioned to you all about a hairdresser who comes to your house. She did my wedding haircut( ok don't think about how it looks now). She is very nice and very reasonably priced. I am not sure about her level of French  or how far she will travel ( she lives in Montpellier).  Here is her website www.pausedetente.eu

PIG is on this Wednesday ( 21/10) at Melina from 3.30pm.

There is a small theatre near me and during the school holidays there is a spectacle about a baby penguin. If anyone is interested in going, contact me as I may take the boys  on Wednesday 4th November 5 probably morning show)

Hello All

PIG in a pool?

Hello Piglets

I do not know where time is going. Finally the weather is bearable and nice autumn smells are wafting around and yet it is already mid September. Billy is now settled at school as I hope all of yours are.

Selwah (she was not there last week for your info) has kindly offered her house in Baillargues for PIG this coming Wednesday. She has a pool, so we could dip out toes in it at least.

If you would like to come, please RSVP to me and I will give your her address etc;

See you soon.
Lulu

Please do not forget your subscription forms/ or tell me if you have sent them by post

La Rentree PIG

Hello Everyone

I cannot believe it is September already. I am quite glad really (not because it is back to school but because it is cooler).

Pig is on this Wednesday at the maison pout tous  Melina Mercouri ( opposite IBM). It starts at half past three in the afternoon and runs until about five thirty or six.

Bring toys, games or books or whatever you think might entertain the children- feel free to propose ideas! and bring a snack / drink of some sort as there are no eating facilities there.

For those of you who have been before, you know the score.
You can download membership forms from www.ieam.info It is still 25 euros and on top  4 euros for each child to have a maison pour tous card.
For any newcomers, you are welcome to come to PIG and see if you like it. If you do the same applies.  All forms can be given to me.

You can subscribe to the PIG blog at www.piglanguedoc.blogspot.com. If on the other hand you do not want to receive any emails from PIG, just let me know.

I hope all the old faces will come and some new ones too.

See you on Wednesday.

Ginger Pig
