Christmas Party, 8 December, Paris
Jim Pollard, Secretary of the Paris branch of the National Union of Journalists, has very kindly extended an invitation to all members of SOAF, on Friday evening, 8 December, at La Grande Bleu, near the Bastille.
Jim, who is also a member of SOAF, writes:
I would like formally on behalf of the NUJ Paris branch to invite the Society of Authors (France) to our Christmas Party. It would be great if you and some colleagues could come and take a table or two. I already know that we have at least half a dozen members in common so there should be some other familiar faces there too.
The event is very informal. About 50 of our 200 members usually attend. There's the usual drink and food plus a hastily improvised cabaret featuring some of the branch which should be entertaining. As I said, very informal. The menu is yet to be finalised but will be around 22-23 Euros including some wine payable on the night.
The event takes place at La Grande Bleu, Port de l'Arsenal, Boulevard de Bastille 75012 Paris on 8 December. Nearest metro: Bastille. We have a quick meeting at 6.30 - which you're also very welcome to attend if you wish - followed by the dinner itself at about 8.
This sounds like a lot of fun. And, of course, it will be a means of establishing further contacts. If you are interested in attending, please write to Jim Pollard directly at nujparis@wanadoo.fr
Several of you are also members of the NUJ, a noble association with which we obviously share many an aim. I am currently investigating, with Jim, specific areas of common interest that SOAF may have with the NUJ, Paris. If any of you have any thoughts or recommendations about this please comment below. The web site of the Paris NUJ is http://www.nujparis.org.uk . Keep an eye on our blog for developments.
