KTA September 2007 Newsletter

Knebworth Festival did KTA a huge favour – in the course of the Mini-Fete and the Talk by Mervyn Miller, we signed up no less than 15 families to receive information about our activities. So – a very warm welcome to you all and we hope that you will enjoy being part of this organisation.

Nearly 90 people attended Dr Miller’s talk about the Garden City Movement, a very scholarly presentation with slides. Thanks to John Hunt who entertained us on the piano afterwards, his first tune being, of course, “In an English Country Garden”!

Datchworth School. Alison, Ann and I spent a delightful afternoon meeting pupils in Years 5 and 6 and telling them about Châtelaillon and the Boucholeurs School with whose pupils they are corresponding. Thanks to Gina Beauchamp for her warm welcome.

Ticket Price: £8.50 (£10 for non KTA members) (application form below)

Thanks to Committee member, Kevin Ellis, for this original art-work of Bacchus, god of wine!

Dates for your diary.

Our Sunday lunch and AGM 2008 will be held on March 16th at 11.45 in Knebworth Barns. Please note that this is some six weeks later than usual but we can promise you the same high quality two course lunch with coffee in this lovely venue. Details nearer the time.

Visit to Châtelaillon end April/early May 2008 – we hope to finalise the dates for this during the Autumn.

May 2008 Plans are underway for Stevenage Male Voice Choir to present a concert in Châtelaillon as part of their 50th anniversary celebrations.

Saturday November 29th 2008 has been booked for next year’s special event – more news later.

Best wishes,

Joy Hall, Chairman. Telephone 812609
