ANYBODY GETTING MARRIED ?

A new documentary for BBC3 about marriage is in course of preparation and they are seeking contributors.

The programme is presenter led by Cherry Healey and they are looking for couples of all ages, locations and cultures who are planning their big day. They are also looking to speak to anyone who is thinking of proposing. It is a very gentle and warm hearted documentary which looks into how and why we get married in the 21st century.

They are really trying to include all age brackets in the programme and have very few from those aged 50 plus to be fully representative. They begin casting now and will be looking for people ASAP so the sooner you get in touch the better.

Interested? Here is the link to the BBC web page :-

OFF TO FRANCE WE GO (AGAIN)
OFF TO FRANCE WE GO (AGAIN)

Yes it’s that time of the year again when we all start to think of our short breaks. Well why not join some of Maidstone's Members and come to France to play bridge. Everybody gets a free lunch and supper and there are prizes for all the bridge players. 

The date Monday 5 April 2010 (Easter Monday), the location Henin Beaumont Northern France.

The day starts with a lunch (in the past hosted by the Mayor but he's in prison!) at 1200 followed by 24 boards of bridge and a prize giving normally finishing at 1830ish. Retire to your Hotel for a quick freshen up before we are entertained to a buffet evening meal.

Henin Beaumont is just over the hour’s drive from Calais and is just east of Lens. Travel arrangements are down to individual choice. Travel over Sunday staying for two nights returning Tuesday. Alternatively travel early Monday morning to arrive in Henin for 1200 and return late evening or stay over just one night.

If you would like to join us please email me, The Chairman Maidstone Bridge Club, to check availability and if you want any further details. French speakers especially welcome!

Pictured are some of the players in 2009, English and French, enjoying an aperitif the warm spring sunshine before lunch.
