    British Association of the Var Putting people and social needs together since 1998 Association Loi 1901 No W831001750 www.baofthevar.co m July 2019 Newsletter N0 205 Draguignan Tour Richard Stombio, the Maire of Draguignan, had very generously agreed to make a gap in his very busy timetable to act as our personal guide around Draguignan. After several months of planning, the tour took place on 7 June commencing at the Mairie, where we were greeted by the Maire at the reception from where we proceeded to the council chamber. We were pleased to be joined for the occasion by officers of the British and American army. The Maire made some emotional comments about the relevance of the date, being the day following the anniversary of D Day, and this was followed by an in-depth history of the city of Draguignan and its emblem, the dragon. The town had a rich history being made, at one time, the capital of Provence located on a main pilgrimage route. At one stage there were 7000 sheep around the town and only 4000 inhabitants. We were then shown the historic part of the Mairie and then the Maire’s office where Liz Morgan was offered the seat of power! The tour then proceeded uphill along the main shopping street and took in various architectural features and the original town gates. We were finally taken to the elevated tower, where we were treated to magnificent views of the town and surrounding area and then we were taken inside the adjacent church which dates back to the 12th century.

  • Mediterranean Gardening France
    Mediterranean Gardening France www.mediterraneangardeningfrance.org March 2018 Dear members and friends PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES IN FRANCE Friday 23 and Tuesday 27 March, Bargemon, Var A visit to Domaine l'Oisellerie to see naturalised bulbs in flower If you ever wanted to know how to landscape a large domaine, or to garden in keeping with nature, this is a visit for you. Nigel writes: “Until 18 years ago L'Oisellerie (the aviary) was a 7 hectare small holding that had been in the same family for some 250 years. It was acquired by Nigel and Alain who, after a great deal of hands-on work, consider it can now be called 'very much a garden'! The land, which has a very varied topography, privacy, and water too, has been developed in a naturalistic way by nurturing and editing the existing 'very interesting' vegetation to full advantage, and then planting to enhance it. A large newish pond, a potager and other surprises have been created. The landscaping was approached with care to play to, rather than offend, the ancient spirit that exists and so the brief for much of the work continues to be that ‘nobody should know'!” Nigel (BSc. Horticulture, University of Reading), has followed a career in landscape design creating gardens and working on projects worldwide, including USA, China, Zanzibar and Greece. We have had an overwhelming response to this event but Nigel and Alain have kindly agreed to host us on a second date. The visit on 27 March is fully booked but there still places for 23 March.

    British Association of the Var Putting people and social needs together since 1998 Association loi 1901 www.baofthevar.com October 2011 Newsletter No 113 SUBSCRIPTIONS are DUE on Nov 1st We tried to save money last year by not sending a renewal reminder by post to all households but it proved to be folly. A great deal of time had to be spent chasing up non-renewals, right up to the deadline for mailing the AGM papers. We even received renewals as late as May. So, this year a reminder is being sent by post to every household. If you receive your Newsletter by post then your reminder will be with this edition. If you receive an electronic Newsletter then you will receive your reminder under separate cover. The basic subscription per household (up to three people) has been increased to 27.50€ thus the cost of subscription to include a Newsletter sent by post to a French address is now 37.50€ and 42.50€ if the Newsletter is to be sent to a UK address. You will have read the Treasurer’s half year report which makes it clear that subscription income falls short of covering administrative costs, hence the need for an increase to attempt to make up some of that deficit. We are looking into the possibility of subscription renewals being collected by direct debit and hope that, if it is feasible for BAV to join the scheme, the facility will be in place in time for the renewal of subscriptions in 2012. We are, therefore, asking you to submit a RIB with your renewal cheque this year if you wish to pay via the direct debit facility next year.
