SUMMARY:BritsVignes
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 21 November\, 10:30am\nLa Tour de Gatigne\nMas De La Tour\, 30190 Saint-Chaptes\nOur BritsVignes visit in November is to a vineyard near Saint-Chaptes\, conveniently located for members living in the Uzès\, Alès\, Nîmes triangle. The estate’s origins go back to 1212\, when the Knights Templar built a commandery\, on the banks of the River Gardon. Today\, the main tower is all that remains of the original building. Remarkably\, since the 13th century\, the Domaine de la Tour has only been sold three times\, with the current owners acquiring the property in 1835. \nThe vineyard was entirely replanted in the 1980s and now carries the AOP Duché d’Uzès and IGP Cévennes classifications. In 2020\, the estate achieved Organic Agriculture Certification\, reflecting its commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible winemaking. For more information\, please have a look at their website. \nKeep an eye out the email flyer for more details and to sign up.

SUMMARY:Uzès Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Uzès Book Club\nTuesday 20 January\, 3:00pm\nAt a Member’s home the third Tuesday of the Month\n\nJanuary finds us reading ‘King Maker’ by Sonia Purnell. \nWhen Pamela Churchill Harriman died in 1997\, the obituaries that followed were predictably scathing – and many were downright sexist. Written off as a mere courtesan and social climber\, her true legacy was overshadowed by a glamorous social life and her infamous erotic adventures. Much of what she did behind the scenes – on both sides of the Atlantic – remained invisible and secret. That is\, until now: with a wealth of fresh research\, interviews and newly discovered sources\, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full\, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. We will also be unveiling the results of the voting for our 2026 reading list. \nPlease contact us if you are interested in being added to waiting list or receiving our book choices. \n\nChristine Frati                                  Angela Denton-Thompson

SUMMARY:Nîmes Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Nîmes Book Club  \nFriday 30 Janauary\, 10:30am\nLa Vida Restaurant\, 1530 Chemin du Carreau de Lanes\, 30900 Nîmes\n\nOur book this month is “The Way we Live Now” by Trollope. \nThe Way We Live Now is a satirical and political novel\, published in London in 1875. It is one of the last significant Victorian novels to have been published in monthly parts. It was inspired by the financial scandals of the early1880’s. Trollope had just returned to England from abroad and was appalled by the greed and dishonesty those scandals exposed. This novel was his rebuke. It dramatized how such greed and dishonesty pervaded the commercial\, political\, moral\, and intellectual life of that era. \nFor practical reasons attendance is limited to 14. \nIf you wish to attend e-mail me by January 23.

SUMMARY:Uzès Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 17 February\, 3:00pm\nAt a Member’s home the third Tuesday of the Month\n\nIn February\, we will be discussing the Japnese novel ‘The Housekeeper and the Professor’ by Yoka Ogawa.  An enchanting story about what it means to live in the present\, and about the curious equations that can create a family.  He is a brilliant math Professor with a peculiar problem – ever since a traumatic head injury\, he has lived with only eightly minutes of short-term memory.  She is an astute young Hosekeeper – with a ten year old son – who is hired to care for the Professor.  And every morning\, as the Professor and the Housekeeper are introduced to each other anew\, a strange and beautiful relationship blossoms between them.  Though he cannot hold memories for long (his brain is like a tape that begins to erase itself every eighty minutes) the Professor’s mind is still alive with elegant equations from the past.  And the numbers\, in all their articulate order\, reveal a sheltering and poetic world to both the Housekeeper and her young son.  The Professor is capable of discovering connections between the simplest quantities – like the Housekeeper’s shoe size – and the universe at large\, drawing their lives ever closer and more profoundly together\, even as his memory slips away.\n\nThe Book Club has a waiting list at the moment but we are happy to share our 2026 book list (created via a member poll) if anyone is looking for new reading ideas.  Please contact us if you are interested in being added to the waiting list or receiving our book choices. \nChristine Frati                                              Angela Denton-Thompson
