During this summer we lunched in Autun at the Promenade after petanque and the Golf Club after putting and the driving range. Both may happen periodically if the weather turns warm again. As well as these 2, we visited:-

• La Bourse
• L’Annexe
• La Table Boheme
• Le Faro
• Le Central

Over the winter, I will drop Le Faro and rotate the other 6 unless we get a chance to putt or play petanque. When we bowl, we can lunch at the Golf Club.

With our summer visitors heading back to their  homes abroad and our numbers reducing, we are going back to meeting once a fortnight for coffee mornings and lunches.

Today, eleven of us visited a plastics recycling factory in Arnay-le-Duc 😂. It’s where post-consumer waste and old car bumpers go to die. Our tour lasted about an hour and a half with lots of questions as we went round. Not your everyday day out – but it was really interesting 😃😃

Lunch was taken beforehand.

10 Pin Bowling 6th September 2025

We met at the Bowling at Autun at 10.45am, we had the option of 1 or 2 games. We may have been on 3 lanes, in teams of 4 but we supported as if we were on one lane. The atmosphere was great, we all had fun, there were 2 watching which then became 3. After we went for lunch at the golf club, where we were joined by Eva for a short while, all were pleased to see her. We stretched out lunch to over two hours with great banter and good food. Hopefully we will repeat this during the winter months.
