The Friends of the Beach change their statutes and renew their office

The Friends of the beach of Vierville-sur-Mer held their general meeting on a Saturday evening under the chairmanship of Mr. Delobel. They amended their statutes and renewed their board of directors.

The number of members of the board increased from nine to twelve. Three unexcused absences had to result in the resignation of a member. The purpose of the association was to specify: organize parties, beach games and recreational, artistic and nautical activities; encourage emulation between tourists and residents; make the beach known to promote its development.

The regulation distinguished benefactor members and active members. The latter had to pay ten francs of entrance fee and twenty francs of annual membership fee. Seventy-four of the seventy-seven registered voted to elect three additional members: Christiane Freulon, Maryvonne Lelaidier and Brigitte Tréfeu.

The designated bureau had Mr. Oxéant, Mayor, as Honorary President, Mr. Delobel as President, Mr. Françoise as Vice-President, Ms. Delaidier as Secretary, Ms. Freulon as Deputy Secretary, Ms. Racine as Treasurer and Ms. Hardelay as Assistant Treasurer. The other members were Miss Tréfeu and Messrs. Le Nourichel, Jatteau, Laronche, Olard and Coulibœuf.

The projects included a scrabble evening on a Friday in April at 8:45 p.m. at the town hall, a treasure hunt, a fireworks display and a torchlight retreat for the National Day, then a Norman festival on August 11 with the Valognes folk group. Table tennis and women's gymnastics continued all year round.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
