The June Event 2009Click here to see the programme and joining instructions given before the event.
There was another great turn-out for our June Event this year. As a bunch of volunteers organising events on behalf of London ALL members in our spare time we are delighted that people trust us enough to (a) let us use their premises (b) turn up to our events, and we're especially pleased that others are keen to join as ALL members and committee members. We'll use this page to record our thanks, our notes & links, and our photos. We've also included some extracts of feedback we received. As ever, if anyone is featured and would prefer not to be there, just let Helen know and she'll edit the page accordingly, no questions asked! THANKSSo many people to thank .. we're bound to miss some people out, so please email us if we have and we can add them! THE FRENCH INSTITUTE
OUR SPONSORSStéphane Derône of Linguascope (and his newly appointed member of staff Mr Hughes!) organised the sponsorship. Many thanks to the sponsors who paid for our coffees:
