Well I have done it. I have booked the Salles des fetes at Le Riols for the next 9 months for the Folk / Jazz evenings. I think you all need to be involved with this as it is a big commitment, although TAG will stand any losses. Being upbeat I am not expecting losses but lots of pleasurable evenings listening and having some musical fun.
We are changing the venue from the Koppenols to the Salle des Fetes as it has disabled access, plenty of parking, lots of chairs, heating in the winter and I got a better deal for booking more evenings.We hope in the summer months to visit the Koppenols and other beautiful country locations. For those who do not know Le Riols is a little village very near Varen and is very easy to find. Anyway it is going to be our home for all the dates given at the bottom of this post, ready for your diaries. Note there is going to be a special Christmas event on the Saturday 29th of Dec.and as you know all are welcome and we will try and make it a special evening. Nitty Gritty, the cost for hiring each evening will be 37.50 euros so I reckon if we all pay 2 euros each at the door that will more than cover it. If we have a surplus it can be carried forward and then if it is a quieter month in January we will be covered. Very reasonably we will have to pay the first instalment on the 31st of Jan., 166 euros and the second instalment at the end nine months of 133 euros.
Once again it will be eat before you come and bring your bottle and glasses.[ but you will not need chairs] Charles Ketteringham is MD and if you want to entertain us contact Charles chas5strings@orange.fr
