Ms. Curé presents the 1997 program of Friends of the Beach

At a general meeting held on a Friday in front of about thirty people, the Friends of the Beach presented their new president, Mrs. Curé, who succeeded Jean Olard, and their program for 1997.

A car and cycling rally was planned for May 17, about sixty kilometers for cars and twenty for bicycles. The registrations announced were fifteen francs per driver, five francs per passenger and ten francs per cyclist. An awards ceremony around 7:30 p.m. was to precede a cold buffet open to all in the communal hall, at seventy francs per adult and five francs per child. Reservations were then offered at 02 31 22 43 42 and 02 31 22 40 83.

The calendar also included the St. John's Day fire on June 28 on the beach, a fireworks display and a ball on July 12, an all-all fair on August 10 and a postcard exhibition on August 15. Children's beach games had to be set according to the tides, and scrabble meetings organized once a month. The contribution was forty francs.

Two distinct briefs completed the cut. The first announced the commemoration of May 8, 1945 at the monument to the dead, on Thursday, May 8 at 11:30 a.m., followed by a wine of honor at the town hall. The second featured an excursion of veterans on May 28 in the English Channel, with lunch at La Pernelle and a visit to Tatihou. This outing was open to all, with reservation before May 14 at 02 31 22 42 67 or 02 31 21 31 08.
