Tuesday afternoon

Good afternoon

This is a message for everybody willing to go to the Franco - Scottish Society conference on Tuesday the 9th November.

The meeting will start at 7pm at the Total French School (behind the Aberdeen Grammar School). The conference will be about "Aristocratic Childhood", still waiting for some details about it, followed by an informal conversation in French.

http://www.franco-scottish.org.uk/aberdeen.htm

A French movie will be shown at school from 4 to 6pm for any interested pupils. I am willing to take pupils to Aberdeen, to the conference (depending on numbers of pupils and parental consent). Parents would have to come to pick you up at the end (around 8.30 - 9.00pm)

Any questions let me know
(Email address available on this blog)
