Committee News – Page 3 – OUS South West France

Those of us who attended the recent AGM at the Hotel Pont Napoleon in Moissac were treated not only to my relaxed style of chairmanship at short notice, but also to an after dinner talk from our distinguished guest Dame Gillian Beer, a friend of Lindy Beveridge. A leading expert on Darwinism, Victorians and especially Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) Dame Gillian explored the subject of Carroll’s paraxodes with time and space in a charming way. If you missed it see this link – she starts 5.30 minutes in.

OUS South West France

The Society* was inaugurated in 2007 at the instigation of Jeremy James (Oriel) and has members in most of the departments of South West France. Membership is open to anyone with a connection with the University whether resident in France permanently, with a holiday home or just visiting. We aim to have a number of activities throughout the year ranging from vineyard tours (obviously), visits to places of interest, an annual lunch or dinner and other social events. The aim of the Society is to provide a convivial environment in which people with a common interest can meet socially. Members are drawn from a wide age group and of course from many and varied occupations. We welcome any input and look forward to hearing from you with new ideas or suggestions as to how the Society can develop. Just post your thoughts or comment on an existing post: see the help page for details on how to do this. A list of members names and departments can be sent on request.
