Visit to Oignies 2024
24 - 28 May
We are planning to travel to Oignies, arriving on the evening of Friday, May 24, and returning on Tuesday May 28.
More details on the trip will follow in due course.
Anglo-French ZOOM Sessions
40 minutes or so of Friendly Franglais every week
The Zoom sessions are currently paused. We hope to restart in the new year.
A chance to brush up on your French and have a chat with some of our Amis from Oignies via ZOOM.
Following on from the first virtual Soirée, which took place in lieu of our cancelled visit to Oignies in 2020, several people expressed an interest in further group sessions on ZOOM, particularly with regard to improving their language skills in French/English. We started holding these these meet-ups in June and they have been great fun with up to a dozen members joining in weekly from both sides of la Manche. The format is fairly ad hoc, with a mixture of English and French spoken in a lively informal atmosphere. The duration tends to vary depending on the numbers, with people free to join and leave à volonté.
If you would like to join in, please let us know via friendsofoignies@gmail.com and we'll send you details.
