British Association British Association of the Var Putting people and social needs together since 1998 Association Loi 1901 No: W831001750 www.baofthevar.com January 2014 Newsletter No 140 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL NEW LOOK NEWSLETTER Welcome to the new style 12 page Newsletter, which includes all articles and booking forms so avoiding separate sheets. Please feel free to send any suggestions for topics to cover, or experiences of life in France which may benefit others. Christmas Lunch Several members have previously experienced the delights of the St Aygulf Hotel before, having attended the Christmas ball of VIAC, but it was the first occasion on which BAV had held a lunch there and we were not to be disappointed. The hotel has a commanding view over the sea, river and inland water which offered a wonderful back drop to the lunch on a gloriously sunny winter’s day. We were delighted at the response by members to attend this event and, unfortunately, we even had to decline some bookings due to the capacity of the room. Apologies to those who were unable to attend. The lunch provided was delicious and service equally good but it was the conviviality and friendliness of the occasion that really made the day. At times it was difficult to hear oneself think as a result of the buzz of conversation. A good start to the festive season! Coffee Morning - Cotignac The first collaborative coffee morning between the Cotignac and Villecroze network groups was held on Friday November 29th at the home of Billy and Jean Naisbitt, who have an ancient mill house just outside Cotignac which is over a century old and is being beautifully and lovingly restored to its former glory. Just over thirty members arrived to be met by a mouth-watering array of cakes and biscuits plus coffee, provided by Jean. There was also a huge selection of books available. The morning was an excellent opportunity for members old and new to meet and socialise in memorable surroundings so maybe other j joint events could be similarly arranged in future. Michael Wharton informed members that the Cap Cotignac association had been voted, by the chamber of Commerce of the Var, the most innovative and forward-looking association in the Var on its journey to being the first so called 'European Village '.

  • December 2017 Newsletter No 186
    December 2017 Newsletter No 186 Barjols Treasure Hunt Somebody must have heard that the BAV was to hold a walking treasure hunt around Barjols! The forecast had been for a full day of rain but, although somewhat chilly, it turned out to be dry with some sunshine. 34 members and friends supported the event and thoroughly enjoyed the gentle stroll around the town discovering little known enclaves. The phrase to be heard after the walk was largely that ‘we must spend more time here’. There are around 27 fountains around the town, some of which have developed over the years into various shapes, and the ‘treasure hunt’ largely featured many of these, together with the general history of the town. The walk was finished off nicely with a very pleasant lunch at Hotel Pont D’Or. The winner of the ‘treasure hunt’ was a team comprising Tim Molyneaux, Katrina Donaldson and Peter and Monique Holdway, who won bottles of wine. Thank you to Kevin Bell, our departing Events Coordinator, and Maria Bell for arranging this interesting day out. MajorLooking taxto expand reforms your inportfolio? France. How do they affect you?

  • Groundwater Management of a Highly Dynamic Karst by Assessing Baseflow and Quickflow with a Rainfall-Discharge Model (Dardennes Springs, SE France)
    Bull. Soc. géol. Fr. BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin 2017, 188, 40 © C. Baudement et al., Published by EDP Sciences 2017 https://doi.org/10.1051/bsgf/2017203 Available online at: www.bsgf.fr Groundwater management of a highly dynamic karst by assessing baseflow and quickflow with a rainfall-discharge model (Dardennes springs, SE France) Cécile Baudement1,*, Bruno Arfib1, Naomi Mazzilli2, Johan Jouves1, Thierry Lamarque3 and Yves Guglielmi1,4 1 Aix-Marseille Univ, CNRS, IRD, Coll France, CEREGE, Aix-en-Provence, France 2 Université d’Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse À INRA, UMR1114 EMMAH, Avignon, France 3 Association Spélé-H2O, av. Bucarin, Six-Fours, France 4 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, United States Abstract – This paper aims at characterizing the groundwater flow in a highly dynamic karst aquifer using a global modeling approach based on rainfall and spring discharge time series. The Dardennes aquifer (SE France) was studied as it is used for drinking water supply and it also produces karst flash floods that increase the flood hazard downstream in urban areas. Three years of data were available, including a normal rainy year, a wet year and a dry year. Modeling was performed with the new platform KarstMod, a rainfall- discharge model with calibration tools. The Dardennes aquifer model was structured with three interconnected reservoirs: Epikarst, Matrix, and Conduit. Using this modeling approach, we were able to determine the groundwater hydrograph separation of the karst spring discharge, at the annual scale and at the event scale (flood). This gives insight into the low flow (Matrix) available for the drinking water demand and the fast flow (Conduit) that generates flash floods.

He chose four categories: car rallies and racing, football, tennis and cycling. The numbers were much lower than previously, probably because of the topic but we benefited from having a number of people who had been invited by our hosts. It was good to have a mix of English and French, something of a new initiative that would be good to achieve again. There were many compliments on the 4 course meal and the wine.
