So, what does 2023 hold for us?

We will continue to be a support group for our members, a network where best practices and ideas can be discussed, and where British people in need can seek support and help. This overall is our primary function and we see it as being as vital and important today as at any other time in our history.

Our AGM will be held on Tuesday 19^th April at 12:15 at Holy Trinity Church, 2-4 Rue du Générale Ferrié, 06400 Cannes. All are invited to attend. A light lunch will be served afterwards.

BA lunches continue to take place on the second Tuesday every month. Places are limited and if you are interested in attending these, please

e-mail / contact us and we will put you on a mailing list.

We still feel that social activities should predominantly be demand led, however having regular events like the lunches where members can come together and chat is also important and we will hopefully be looking to partner with another local association and hold a monthly ‘chat café If this is something you would like to help with, we’d love to hear from you: perhaps you would also like to join the committee.

2023 membership subscriptions are now due, however as in 2022 we have kept the amount at just 10€ per person. You may ask what you are paying for if we are offering fewer functions, however we would ask you to remember the primary function of the British Association – support and welfare and this is available to all British Expats. We hope not, but this maybe you at some stage, and if you are lucky enough to never need the support or welfare from the Association, then hopefully you will feel comforted you have contributed to help somebody else in need.

Our treasurer has requested that payments are made by cheque this year, payable to ‘British Association de Cannes’ and sent care of Judith Widdop, to 2 Rue du General Ferrié, 06400, Cannes however if you are unable to pay by cheque and for future payments, I have attached our new RIB.

In the meantime, if you have any ideas about projects that the British Association could support, or functions that you would like to see us running, please let us know. We would welcome both more members and more members interested in joining our committee.

 I urge you all to stay safe, stay healthy and let’s hope that 2024 is a good and prosperous year for us all
