Come along and bring your knitting,

Have a natter while you’re sitting,

Or learn to knit with wool provided,

Needles loaned and stitches guided.

Knitted garments are très chic,

So be in vogue and start this week.

Knit and natter is a free activity open to all members. No need to reserve, just come and enjoy yourself!

Amanda Johnson from Spectrum Financial Advisors &Karolyn Chauvigné from Currencies Direct will be present at the ‘Coffee House’ every two months. Should you need any free, friendly advice on any of the following issues they will be present to advise you:

RETIREMENT PLANNING
Forward planning for your retirement can mean the difference between having the reassurance of financial security in later years rather than the worry of wondering how you will cope

INVESTMENTS FOR EXPATS
How do you choose your investments when you are an expatriate? Taking personalised Investment Advice can be vital, especially in the current economic environment, with high inflation and record low interest rates

INHERITANCE TAX PLANNING
Inheritance Tax Planning for expatriates requires careful consideration. At home or abroad your plans to pass any assets in the future to your family will be determined by the place where you live and if you are UK domiciled

CURRENCY EXCHANGE
Currencies Direct is a foreign exchange company, which is fully regulated in the UK (FCA) and in France (AMF). Karolyn will be able to give you invaluable information on how to get the best out of your currency exchange. From just £150 upwards, we can save you between 3 and 5% on bank rates and with no charges at all!

No need to sign up, just stop by and meet Amanda and Karolyn!

“Books and Tea” is a monthly meeting for bookworms and tea drinkers. Bring a book you’ve really enjoyed, talk about it and pass it on! The group meets from 2 to 3:30 at “Les Casse-Croûte de Suzy” 3 rue de l’Espine. No need to sign up, just come and enjoy!

The pizza and board games evening is scheduled one Tuesday a month from 6-8 pm. Cost is 7 euros (covers pizza and non-alcoholic drinks, 5 euros for children 12 and under and native English speakers). No reservations necessary, just come and enjoy! Dates up to Christmas are Oct. 11th, Nov. 15th and Dec. 13th.
