Festilitt 2018, 19-21st October.
We need you and your books! The
planning and organisation for the 6th annual book festival in Parisot is now
underway. This weekend event is extremely popular with the local English and
French communities and friends who travel into the area specifically for this
literary binge. Since 2013 this literary weekend has introduced book readers to
some well known authors such as Tracey Chevalier, Kate Mosse, Helen Dunmore and
Adam Thorpe, local writers like Vanessa Couchman and Robin Ellis (yes, he of
original Poldark fame) and some new ones to the writing scene, such as Piu
Marie Eatwell, Sarah Taylor and Fiona Barton. If you have not been before, all
author events at the festival are free - this is possible because we
rely on volunteers for help and on our big second hand book sale for
funds.
SO - if you would like to volunteer
for any of the various jobs we have (airport runs, book sales, cake making,
running afternoon tea, setting up and clearing away) then please contact Debra
on dokitikpi@hotmail.com
If you have any books you have read
and want rid of, that are in good condition and not much older than 5 years,
then please contact Maggie on maggietallentire@live.fr and
she will arrange a collection point.
Please put the dates into your diary
and enjoy meeting the authors and discussing books over afternoon tea (with
delicious cakes contributed by those of you who are star bakers!)
Thank you!
With
many thanks,
Debra
