Visit to Boissy 23-26 May 2008

On Friday morning we all met at 6.30 a.m. in the car park next to the school. Our driver, Linda, soon had our luggage loaded and we were off to Dover. After a smooth ferry crossing and the usual traffic jams around Paris we arrived in Boissy at 7.30 p.m. There our host families met us and we quickly renewed old friendships.

After a day spent with our families, all the English and their French hosts met at the primary school at 5.30 p.m. From there two coaches took us to a nightclub about an hour's drive away.

When we arrived we had a champagne and canapé reception where everyone enjoyed themselves! Then it was into the main part of the nightclub Where we had a lovely meal and were very well entertained Two of our members entered the "Miss Beetroot" competition but neither won! On Sunday some members and their host families went on the coach to Paris. Click here for a slideshow of these photos. In the evening there was a soirée in the Salle du Jeu de Paumein Boissy. After our meal Patsy gave a speech, in English and French, on behalf of Colney Heath and Irene Combré replied on behalf of the Mayor of Boissy, Marcel Messonier, who, unfortunately, was unwell. After the speeches we had some games and dancing All too soon it was Monday morning and time to meet the coach for our return trip. Once Patsy had checked that everyone was present we set off for home. We stopped on the way for some retail therapy at the Cité Europe Before catching the ferry at Calais Click here for a slideshow of these photos.
