Les Fieillets Jèrriais

Févri 2004

Salutâtions tout l'monde, acouo eune fais! Thank you to all those who attended our Annual Meeting; it proceeded - sans problièmes - and the 2003 report revealed how much we had done. It was approved and will be presented as the Section's Report in the Annual Bulletin.

It was also reported that the budget request for 2004 was granted which will allow for the publication of some resources. The Committee will continue to serve all your needs, having been returned en bloc!

Our annual programme was discussed and adopted and is attached. It was agreed that we should concentrate on the following:

To finish the Anthology of Jèrriais Literature.
To choose the Eisteddfod piece early.
To coordinate with the dates of the 1204-2004 celebrations.
To prepare for the combined Fête Mediévale and Fête Normande in Bayeux on Sat/Sun, 3^rd/4th July.
To prepare for the 'Pomme Poème' at La Faîs'sie d'Cidre earlier than October.
To start the review and selection of songs (with music) for an Anthology of Songs.
To include more language use at each meeting via a variety of games en Jèrriais and spontaneous speaking on unseen topics or those of one's own choice.

Another curious pronunciation on the radio - Rue de la Poynter - rather than La Rue de la Pointe! We shall keep trying! Our first meeting will be on Wed. 4th Feb. at 8.00pm in the Arthur Mourant room when we shall start the last phase of the Anthology. The reference books needed for the various notes will be provided and conversation practice will be included. Séyiz les beinv'nus.

À bétôt,

John Clarke (Président, 873556).
Ralph Nichols (Ségrétaithe, 862756).
