Will we get a vote in Britain's Referendum

Hi Val,

 Have just received this communiqué from the Embassy. First I have heard that we are to get the vote. Will leave it up to you to pass on the word. Fantastic news.
 Regards,
 Celia
Malc says this article in the Independent confirms the story. It seems that expats with less than 15 years absence who have the right to vote in UK elections will be able to vote in the referendum and the British Embassy  in Paris is promoting a competition for the best photograph encouraging people to register. Tea and cakes at the Embassy is the prize. Entries to be tweeted by Overseas Registration Day on 4th Feb (next Thursday).
