BA Menton Aperos - L.A. Yogurteria - Friday September 27th 2024
Dear Members,
We had a fantastic turnout of 40 members and friends at last Friday鈥檚 Apero. Fortunately, nearly everyone arrived on time, which was great, enabling staff to take orders, without us all having to wait for late comers.
After the August break, our Wednesday coffee mornings have also attracted large numbers of members, so much so, that extra coffee making equipment will be purchased in time for next Wednesday.
Many thanks to all members for your support.
BA Menton Sanremo Trip - Thursday 12th to Sat 14th September 2024
Our two-day trip to Sanremo, was great fun and enjoyed by all. Even though our celebrated dinner at the elegant rooftop restaurant of the casino, included the csaino having to temporarily cover the normally open rooftop, due to the lashings of a ferocious storm. We stoically followed that old British adage, 鈥淜eep calm and carry on.鈥
Everyone enjoyed our characterful hotel. We visited the Russian Orthodox church, the old town, Pigna di Sanremo, were ripped off at lunch, but very much enjoyed prosecco鈥檚 and canapes later that afternoon.
A visit to Villa Nobel, followed by a tasty lunch, shopping, (Sanremo has fabulous shops) and dinner at a good seafood restaurant across from the fish market, concluded our trip.

Liberation de Menton
Dear Members,
Yesterday, (8th September 2024) we joined the people of Menton, to commemorate 80 years since the Liberation of Menton. An event we have been participating in for many years, presenting a floral tribute from the British Association, at Place Koenig.
According to the programme issued by the mairie, the wreath-laying ceremony would take place, 鈥淐omme d鈥檋abitude,鈥 at 15:30pm
I arrived punctually, surprised at not seeing the flurry of officials, standard bearers, musicians and the usual mayhem before the mayor arrives.
For a panic-stricken 30 minutes, I thought I鈥檇 missed the ceremony. I imagined the head of protocol having called me to lay our wreath鈥︹.What would have happened? Such an embarrassment for our association and for yours truly.
With my head bowed in shame, not to mention hot flushes, I noticed an official from the mairie passing by and ran after him. Grabbing the poor man in my excitement to find out what had happened.
鈥淩ien,鈥 he replied. 鈥淲e commence at 17:30pm鈥 I鈥檓 sure you can imagine the flood of relief I experienced and that the glass of rose I drank was purely for medicinal purposes.
Everything went well and videos of the occasion, taken by Clive and Audrey will be posted on our website.
Many thanks
Birgitt

Friday April 12, 2024
Yet another incredibly successful BA Menton lunch, with members and guests taking every available seat in this very attractive restaurant.
We heard many positive comments on freshness of the ingredients.
Before lunch, members explored the 芦Grand Hotel des Ambassadeurs 禄 built in 1885 and were given a guided tour in English by the owner, followed by drinks on the house. The hotel has a unique artistic interior. We shall return!
All in all, a memorable experience.
Well done Committee member Helena.
