Residents relaunch a leisure committee and the Friends of the beach

Residents of Vierville met to organize leisure activities in the municipality. The municipal council hosted the meeting, with the mayor Mr. Hardelay, the deputy Mr. Oxéant and Abbé Tourquetil. Several activities were planned for residents and summer visitors.

Young people were already training in football with Mr. de Moor, but the purchase or rental of a field near the village seemed necessary before forming teams. Mr. Boisnel offered to lead a table tennis section.

A montage of photographs prepared for two years was to tell the story of Vierville and the local life of the Bessin before the war. It would be presented at a friendly evening after its completion. Residents with photographs, postcards or other historical documents were invited to contact Jean-Marie Oxéant.

The summer program included a ball on the square on July 14, a car rally and a cycling rally in July. A sea festival was planned around August 15, with decorated boats and boats and water games. Volleyball tournaments with the beach club, cross and rally were also offered for August.

Mrs. de Bellaigue announced the July 13 horse festival at the Vaumicel, with polo teams, equestrian competitions and hitch competitions. The participants decided to take over the status of the former Friends of the Beach, inactive for several years, before reconstituting an office. A constituent meeting was scheduled for Friday, April 11 at 8:30 p.m. at the town hall.
