Following the EGM we are in discussion with the bank about financing options. We are working on options that take account of the payment needs on our existing loans, including the French government Covid loan, which will be fully repaid in 2026. We expect these discussions to be completed this month.
If we have the green light, the pool work will take place from October 2024 to April 2025.
This year’s AGM will be held on Sunday 16 June and is open to all Full and Social members (including Honorary and Institutional). Please mark your calendars accordingly.
Please see the main article for the Provisional Agenda.

Due to the lack of participants, we must cancel the adult and teenagers (over 10) Taekwondo one-hour lesson on Saturdays at 12:30 pm.
Of course, our “regular” one-hour lesson is still held at 1:30 pm every Saturday.
Taekwondo is much more than just a sport. It is a way of life. It instils confidence, motivation, goal setting, focus, Self-discipline, respect for others and confidence in your abilities. Do not hesitate to join us. The first lesson is free for anyone who wishes to try it.
(See this article for more information about Taekwondo.)
We have already got 28 orders for Roland Garros tickets from members.
The club is entitled to receive 8 to 10 tickets maximum per year and the FFT Ligue des Hauts de Seine will give us an update about those tickets by the end of the week.
Members who had ordered Roland Garros tickets will be informed via email this weekend about the status of their order.
Our 8 Roland Garros tickets have been attributed to our happy few via a personal email.
If you didn’t receive a message from us, please understand that your proposed date and court name were not available.
All the newly prepared flower beds around the tennis courts have been given a final layer of wood chippings to keep the weeds down. 600 bulbs have been planted ready to pop up in the Spring. 11 red roses have been purchased and are ready to plant immediately by the gardening team. The work was financed 50% by Anke’s collection. Thank you to Linda, Jane and Christiane.
