The Friends of the Beach office retires in March 2011

The Renaissance of Bessin on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 reported the general assembly of the Friends of the Beach, held the previous Friday at the town hall in the presence of Jean-Marie Oxéant. The president, Danièle Guillotte, began by thanking the volunteers participating in the demonstrations.

The moral balance showed a very good year, rich in entertainment: Saint-Jean fire, fair for everything, fireworks from July 13 and August 14, sale of brioches, beach games, tennis management and end-of-year meals. The moral and financial balance sheets were adopted unanimously.

Danièle Guillotte then announced that her entire team and herself, in office for several years, would not run again. Professional reasons, distance and health, but also a certain weariness, motivated this decision.

The mayor took note of this withdrawal. He recalled that the members remained present and that the association, born after the war and about fifty years of existence, was based on volunteering. He recognized the exhaustion of the teams when the proper functioning of the activities involuntarily discouraged the arrival of a succession, and expressed his regret to see them leave. He felt it necessary to accept these difficult times and try to bounce back.

Asked about an immediate resumption, the assembly did not present any volunteers. The mayor proposed to inform the residents in the following days and to convene a new assembly a few weeks later. The association, which had ninety-one members, was to temporarily go to sleep while waiting for a new team.
