Yesterday we started the above society with a St. Patrick’s Day lunch Launch in Cessanon.
About 40 attended and all went well, I had advised Stephane, the chef de cuisine in Restaurant l’Orb on some Irish dishes so he did a very Gallic twist on Irish stew and Bread and Butter Pudding.
Martyn Turner (the Irish Times Cartoonist) who is one of our members provided the above cartoon for our logo and we managed to raise €500 for the excellent Cancer Support France society. I met a large quantity of hitherto unknown Paddies who have settled in the area so it was a great networking moment.
Congratulations to Judge Brian Sheridan who organised it.
