Wednesday 27th July

Hello All

Well the last two weeks of school are upon us, as is the heat of summer. I was thinking somewhere with shade and/or swimming opportunities would be apt this week, so I'll leave it to you to make suggestions. Since most Wed activities are finished we could also meet earlier in the day and make a picnic lunch of it!

Send me your thoughts please. Beach? River?

Hi All


Thinking about Maison de la Nature in Lattes for this week's PIG outing on Wednesday. Let's meet at the main house/picnic area at 330 and bring bikes or scooters if you have em! There is a nice smooth track for rolling activities!


Hope to see lots of you there - sun will shine I am sure.

25th April PIG

Hello All

Hope everyone had a nice break and didn't consume too much sugar (like we did). We are meeting tomorrow (Wed the 25th) at La Maison des Enfants from 330 to 530 for a good catch up and play. 

Rain and wind are not invited ;)

See you there

Easter PIG

Hi All

Well Easter is around the corner as very evident by all the chocolates taunting me in the supermarche. As usual PIG will be having a good ol' fashioned hunt for goodies at the same place as last year, in the bois next to the stables in the Domaine de Grammont. 

It's all happening Wednesday the 28th March at 3 pm. If we had it the following week we would be sans Lulu and the boys, who are off to England, and it just wouldn't be the same!!

So for all the new folks, we will meet between the stables and the bois, as marked on the google map below:

http://maps.google.fr/maps/ms?msid=203397878474078126594.0004bb99761b5ceeda40a&msa=0

Bring a bag to collect chocs, blanket for sitting and cameras of course! Some footballs or frisbees might be useful to burn off all the sugar!

See you then

ps please let me know if I am forgetting anyone

Hi Piggies

Just in case any of you are in town and planning on coming to PIG tomorrow: Don't! ;)

We'll meet next Wednesday the 29th February instead, usual time and place. Hope everyone is enjoying vacances wherever you are.

Wednesday 23rd November

Hi Piggies

Just a reminder that we are meeting this week at Maison des Enfants from 3.15pm

Bring snacks, games and whatnot. Hopefully the sun will appear and the school is planting a tree in the garden (to fill that large hole) around 1.30pm that day so we can be the first to dance around it!

See you then

Wednesday 19th October

Hello Hello

Pig will be meeting on Wednesday 19th October. 

It will be the last Pig before the  half term holidays. 

As some of you may know already , school will start on Wednesday 2nd November so there will be no Pig that day. 

The meetings at La Maison des enfants will then take place on 9th and 23rd November.

For those of you who still have not filled in the forms, please do so before the end of the month and send off, you know the Christmas show in December is not that far away, not only will you see Father Christmas but Billy and John will be taking part in the show, that's worth going for. 

See you soon. 

Lulu and Rachel

Weds 21st September

Hello all

PIG is on this Wednesday and will take place at La Masion des Enfants, we were quite a small group last time so it would be nice to see some old and new faces. 

As you know I won't be there but Rachel will to welcome you all. 

You must all remember too that September means membership forms. 

Please can you get the forms in as soon as possible please, Outbound needs your support! If you haven't received one by email already - ask me and I'll email one over.

Annnnnndddddddddd.... we're back...

PIG is back after the summer holidays, 

rendez vous 7th September at La Maison des enfants 

from 3.30pm onwards , bring you, the children, games and gouter.

 Ginger pig. See you there

PIGs to come...

Dear All

Pig will take place at La Maison des Enfants on Wednesday, I hope some of you were there to help Richard and Cecile on Sunday with the garden. In any case it will be great to see what has been done.
We're now fast approaching the summer holidays so here are the dates for the last few pigs meetings of the year.

25th May   Maison des Enfants from 3.15pm to 5.15pm
 

1 June      Um somewhere cool and shady, ideas please??? (otherwise no meeting)
 

8  June      Maison de Enfants
 

15  June    Fiona has offered to host PIG at her house, please email Fiona to ask for her address and please please RSVP, don't just rock up.
 

22 June     Last meeting at La Masion des Enfants
 

29 June     Aha the last PIG of the year and perhaps the last time for some of you to see those who are leaving over the summer, Anu  and Krystyna notably. It would be lovely for someone to host it at their house, no pressure (person who lives in Lattes with a pool)  Although there is Koaland in Palavas which could be fun, maybe in the morning instead of the afternoon, have a look at the site (http://www.koaland-palavas.com/) and let me know what you think. I could play the part of the beached whale??

One last word, I may not be able to make it to all of the PIG meetings due to feeling very lethargic sometimes and a big workload, if I can't I will tell you, but could someone take "my place" and close up the school.

I don't like to think that Richard and Cecile should have to stay to the end of PIG so happy to instruct said person on how to lock  up the school.

Take note of the dates and I might not be sending out a mail every week from now.

See you soon.

PIG 18 May

Dear All

I am being a lazy organiser , hell I've got  an excuse.
Pig will be meeting at Parc Moncalm this Wednesday for more Richard Attenborough adventure, red beetles and tree sap .
I think in this weather better to find some shade so we'll be sitting after the race track under one of the trees.

Come along as it was good fun last time and the children all had a great time.

Here is the google map for those who have not been there before.

PIG 11 May

Hello

Phew, school is back. Now many of you went away for the holidays but we stayed here and as much as I enjoyed the lie in's etc I am glad to get back to the old routine and I had at least one boy skipping to school this morning.

I would like to say a huge congratulations to Emer, Lionel and Penelope on the birth of Rory last Friday. Emer and Rory are doing very well and probably went home today. I think mot of you have her email address or phone number.

Of course I'm wishing for July so that I can see my bundle of joy, sorry ladies  I still believe the scan over the ring.

Anyway, back to PIG. We will be meeting at La Masion des Enfants on Wednesday comme d'hab. from 3.15pm onwards.

I am thinking perhaps Park Montcalm for the following Wednesday, those explorers had a great time last time we were there, or other ideas welcome.


Et voila, looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Hi Everyone

As you all know the Easter bunny is coming to visit PIG next Wednesday.
 

It will take place at The Domaine du Grammont, we'll meet in the car park at 3pm then make our way to the park (for those who came last year it will be in the same spot) for those who didn't come........follow the chocolate smell (or email and ask for my mobile number)

Please can you RSVP by 17th April to me as I don't want any children to miss out.

Hello All

What fab. weather, long may it continue.

That is why this week we'll meet at Park Montcalm for some good outdoor fun, bikes scooters, footballs, rugs, tea biscuits etc.

I'll be there from 3pm, here is the google link.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=204868719811292958698.0004997b07adab35606d4&t=k&ll=43.600144,3.859355&spn=0.011561,0.022445&z=16

Hello Everyone

It is time to get my PIG hat on after three weeks away, we are all looking forward to seeing you all and catching up on news and tummy sizes (directed to the pregnant ones).

PIG will be meeting at La Maison des Enfants this Wednesday from 3.15pm onwards.

As you all know my life is going to get even busier this summer with another baby and no doubt a busier workload.

It is mainly for this reason that I would like to pass the organisation of PIG to someone else. I would be happy to assist with the administrative side but would like a new fresh and enthusiastic person to take over the weekly/fortnightly meetings.

It does not take up much time but with three children and one who is nearly outgrowing PIG I feel like I will be less available.

I have loved running PIG, it is so satisfying to meet new people and see the positive effect joining PIG has on them and the children. PIG can grow in anyway and so if one of you is interested to take over and has different ideas for how to run it then please come and chat to me.

If you all ignore me on Wednesday then I will still come and tap on your shoulder to see if you're the one to take over..........

PIG 16th February 3.15pm
