A meeting for animal lovers in St.Antonin
A meeting open to all local animal lovers, of all ages.
This project is supported by the association Oasis.
Together we can do more!
For everyone who already does a lot of positive action for animal welfare and for those who would like to do more.
The aim is to share, inform, organise and inspire. And then to put into action whatever is possible.
You may want to share what you, or your association already does and explain what extra help is needed.
You may want to share projects or ideas.
You may just want to be able to do more.
Place: The meeting is in the Salle Chorale next to the Post Office in Saint Antonin.
Date: Sunday the 19th of January, at 14h00 or again at 15h00 or 16h00. We’ll be there all afternoon. Come when you can or contact Rachel if you can’t come but would like to be informed about actions decided.
rachel.shamash@orange.fr 05 63 24 07 34
some possibilities would be supporting existing associations, helping/walking abandoned animals, transport share for demonstrations, vegan tasting for the public, interaction in schools, in our villages …. etc

Are you eligible to vote ?
Elections Municipales et Régionales
As probably most of us have heard of, in 2020 we will have elections for both the local councils and the representatives in the regions (Communité de Communes) on the 15th and 20th of March.
If you want to participate and want to vote, you have to be sure that you are on the election list of your town.
The rules: First of all you have to be 18 years of age or more. You must be French or a member of the European Union (UK at this moment included, but depending on Brexit results) living in France. You must have voting rights. And you must be on the list for the local elections in the town where you live.
Once you are on the list you also may vote for the European Elections (you have to indicate that you want to vote for this also), but you may only vote in one country.
To get on the election list you have to subscribe. But for EU members there are additional rules. You can subscribe in:
- The town where your house is
- The town where you live for at least 6 months
- The town where you pay local taxes (taxe foncière, taxe d’habitation, cotisation d’entreprise) for at least 2 years
- The town where you have a company as a (co-)owner for at least 2 years and pay local taxes for
When you subscribe you must indicate if you only subscribe for the local elections, only for the European elections, or both.
The subscription can be done on the website of the Service Public via the link https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F1937
You have to send in a copy of your Passport or ID or Titre de Séjours. Plus, a justificatif de domicile, not older than 3 months.
You can do everything online, but you also can go to the Mairie of your town to subscribe. On the website you also can find the forms to fill in when you want to do everything per mail.
The subscription needs to be done before the 7th of February 2020. Did you subscribe before? Then it is good to check at the Mairie if you are still on the list. Because of the changes in the recent past some people are not on the list anymore.
It is good to participate in the local elections and to let hear your opinion. It is good to be represented.

A new start doing what she does so well
New Year – new Start
After having worked for 20 years with Agence L’Union in Saint Antonin I had to reorientate myself after the office closed last year. Since I enjoy working in the property market, meeting people and making the process of buying and selling houses as smooth as possible for them, I will be continuing with this line of work, using my good knowledge of the local market to help my future clients.
I will be working as an independent agent with Laforêt in Caussade. Laforêt has 700 offices in France and I will have a strong and well established company with a large base of potential buyers behind me. Our motto is Clarity – Conviviality – Efficiency meaning that it is important for vendors and buyers to have all necessary information to make clear decisions, that we are serious in our approach to work without taking ourselves too seriously and that customer satisfaction is very important to us.
I am based in Saint Antonin and will be covering the area of approximately25km around it. So if you have a property for sale or know of someone who might not be getting the service or viewings they need, please contact me for any help or advice.

Val says , many of us over the years have got to know Angelica, many of us bought a house from her whilst she was with Agence L’Union. I am sure we all wish her well, I certainly do.
Good luck Angelica

Language tuition
someone English speaking to give beginner English classes and
conversation classes for higher level. Starting with two groups.
This for the moment, would not be paid much but could have expenses paid
and maybe a little more and could also be in exchange for french classes
they also plan to do. All this can be discussed.
The woman in charge of organising the different workshops they hope to
start up is Fati Fall, tel: 06 59 94 82 93 or fatifall@hotmail.com. If
you are interested please contact her direct.
She speaks English so anyone can phone or write in English.
My feeling would be that it could be appealing to people who would like
to improve their french/ who would like to have new french contacts/who
live not too far from Verfeil/ who would like the challenge/who have
time/ and some teaching experience or at least willing to learn quick!

Worth going to, tonight
Choeur du Noble Val started last December and is ready tomorrow to present an eclectic programme of music "AVE VERUM", stemming from late 1400s to 1940s.
Please do come along to the church at St Antonin Noble Val, tomorrow (or perhaps today by the time you read this) at 8pm.
The concert is in association with Les Amis de l'Orgue Puget de St Antonin Noble Val. All your generous donations go to fund the restoration of the church Puget organ.”

Festilitt at Parisot
Festilitt
- the Parisot literary festival18, 19 & 20 October 2019
Last minute details for the weekendOne week to go! A number of things have changed since last year, so here are a few last minute details to help you get the most out of the weekend.
This year the second-hand book sale will take place in the school and will be open from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon.
The festival opening is at 19.00 on Friday in the salle des fêtes with speeches, a display of the school children's work with author Julie Eugène and an apéro dinatôire.
On Saturday and Sunday afternoons between sessions, you can enjoy free tea and home-made cakes in the school canteen.
This year we are lucky enough to have all 7 British authors with us for the festival dinner, allowing us to accommodate more festival goers. We still have a handful of places left. The three-course meal with wine and coffee included costs 28€ and will take place in the salle des fetes in Espinas.
There are still places available for Andrew Lownie's talk on The Mountbatten's (Saturday 16h00) and Patrick Gale's session (Sunday 16h15).
Click here to reserve for dinner, Andrew or Patrick
If you are making a day of it and want to eat in Parisot at lunchtime, the two village restaurants will be serving lunch and the bakery will be serving sandwiches, baguettes and homemade pizza. We recommend that you book for the restaurants as they get very busy and, unlike in previous years, we will not be handling the lunchtime bookings.
L'Auberge de la Castille 05 63 24 02 14
Fourchette & Cie 05 63 64 05 41
The authors and Festilitt team will be eating at La Castille, so if you want to join us, don't forget to mention that you're with the festival party when you book.
Full programme now live on the website
