Next Sunday 30 March another edition of the "Run and Bike" races will take place in the Forêt de Meudon in the morning, consequently, the roads around the Club will be closed from 10 to 11.30 am (at least). Both the Route Royale and the Pavée de Meudon will be in use so the 'back way' will be blocked too. See this attached pdf file for the maps of the various race routes.

We have teamed up with the chess school, Club Echecs du Cavalier Rouge, to provide chess lessons for children on Saturdays. A chess instructor will give chess lessons and organise mini-tournaments. There will be two sessions: 10 am to noon and 1 - 3 pm. Email for more information or to sign up! While lessons started on 1 February, there was a pause for the holidays and lessons resumed on Saturday, 8 March.
If you have signed up for the initial 8 weeks of chess, please pay the €30 fee via this HelloAsso link (if you haven’t already): https://www.helloasso.com/associations/standard-athletic-club/evenements/chess-the-sac
There is also an option for adults, please let us know if you are interested by emailing .
For more information see the main article.

The next Brunch with the Little Musicians/Petits Musiciens will be on Sunday, 23 March. It will be a special one - see the main article for more details. It promises to be a fun and engaging experience that nurtures sensory, emotional, and language development in a joyful, supportive atmosphere!
Don't forget that the arrangement is if a child is signed up for the Breakfast/Brunch together with a parent they have free access to the 1.5 hr class. If you don’t want to sign up for the breakfast/brunch, it is €25 per child for the class but payment will still be via the appropriate Breakfast/Brunch HelloAsso link. Here's the link for 23 March.
Please see the main article for a poster and more information.

PS We will be celebrating Easter at the Club after the 27 April Les Petits Musiciens session, with an Easter egg hunt. More details to follow! We are postponing Easter celebrations to 27 April as many families will be away on Easter Sunday.

As you know, we are rebuilding the swimming pool and want to organise a special event to celebrate the arrival of the spring season and to recruit new members.
Our chosen date is SATURDAY 17 MAY
Rasmus Michau, a member with years of professional experience organizing events, including summer parties, has volunteered to take the lead on this.
We will have a large barbecue on the lawn, fun & games, bands, and a DJ, catering for up to 1,000 people, half of whom would be potential new members.
Rasmus is setting up a committee and is looking for volunteers to take on one of the many responsibilities - see the main article for details.
If you are interested in helping out, please send a short e-mail saying how you can contribute to: and Rasmus will be in touch shortly.

The sunny days are coming back!
We will need plenty of help to welcome our members and their guests on Saturdays and Sundays for one or two hours from 9 am to 5 pm.
Volunteers, please contact Roxane at if you can help and we'll add you to our WhatsApp helpers group. Thank you!

One of the wonderful things about the Club is the opportunity for kids to be in a safe place both indoors and outdoors in our “shared second home”. This does, however, come with a responsibility.
Over the past few weeks we have seen:
* Repeated signs of children throwing stones near the building, with the glass on the door from the entrance to the ping pong area being broken in February, at a repair cost of over €1000.
* Kids playing in the hedges and leaving behind damage to be dealt with by our staff (branches, broken fences, etc.).  Please note also that there are areas of the hedge which have barbed wire in order to protect the perimeter of the Club from break-ins.  The hedges are not a play area and could be dangerous for kids.
* The upstairs playroom being left more like a bomb site than a playroom. 
It is normal for kids to make a mess occasionally.  What is not normal is that their parents are not overseeing them and cleaning up after them.  There has been a major increase in the activities for young families (thanks, in particular to Sarah for organising all of this).
Let’s please combine this increase in activity with respect for all the people who use the shared indoor and outdoor spaces at the Club, and for our staff who maintain it.

We are trying to keep our favourite club members (and their parents) as happy as possible. If any parent wants to join the WhatsApp group dedicated to children at the club, wants to discuss anything child-related, or has any suggestions, please email .
