Grapevine
Here are a sample of Articles
Our magazine. “Grapevine”, is published three times a year, in March, July and November and is given free to our members. In it we try to give useful information as well as interesting articles on a variety.of subjects;
On the Notebook pages we have information about life, laws and living in France, which can differ widely from those of our home countries. Such things as the names of English speaking dentists, hairdressers, doctors etc, changes in inheritance and tax laws. TVA changes, new Social Security regulations are all included as and when necessary…
On the Community Page we have contact numbers for the Quilting group for example as well as groups like the Scouts and Guides, tennis and badminton groups, the British Consulate. English speaking churches, Mums and Tots and the Americans in Toulouse.
The full details of our “Activities Programme” are to be found on the centre pages and “What’s On?” gives a sample of some of the events in and around Toulouse which might interest our readers.
Food always has great fascination for us!! We have a Cookery Page with recipes from all over the world to reflect the multi-national nature of the membership and there is a regular Restaurant Corner . At present this is written by a member and her husband who know all the best places to eat in the area and many of us have enjoyed the restaurants recommended by them!!
We are particularly lucky to have members and friends who love to write about their lives and experiences so there are always several articles on subjects such as travel_ wine, places of historical interest to visit and even car boot sales!!
We have a “Classified Advertisements” page for the benefit of our members and you can get more information about this by contacting the Editor of the “Grapevine”
The “STOP PRESS”
In between the magazines we send out a newsletter to maintain contact with the membership. to remind everyone about future TWIG events and to let them know about any important matters which were not covered in the magazine.
If you would like to place an advert with us, or write us an article about some where you have visited, or have some information about an event in the community, or anything else that you would like to share with others, then
