Saturday Night Fever

Volunteers at La Giraudière have spent the last few weeks coming up with a music event, which will be held on the first Saturday of each month. Not only does the evening offer its guests music from a range of local artists, guests who have reserved tickets will also receive a main course, a dessert and ¼ of a bottle of wine.

After establishing the main ideas for the event, some of the volunteers, including Kirsty and Georgia, got to work with the planning and marketing of the event. Posters and flyers detailing the evening’s events were produced and distributed, the event was promoted on various local websites and our social networking sites were updated, so that our followers were aware of the exciting new event After just two weeks of promotion, we are thrilled to say that tickets to our musical soirée in September have now sold out.

La Giraudière’s inaugural musical soirée is now just a few days away, and the volunteers have been hard at work, getting La Giraudière ready for the big event. Kirsty, Giulia, Riccardo and Fei have been giving the Gite a deep clean, stocking the bar and arranging tables in the Old House, Newcomers Ewert and Ki have been helping out in the garden, repairing the picnic tables and creating decorations for the exterior, and Georgia has been helping with the logistics of the event. But the work doesn’t stop there. Over the coming days, there is still much to do, including decorations, signs, and cooking enough Irish stew to feed an army!

With a good menu and some talented artists coming to play, we are looking forward to what should be a fun and very enjoyable evening. For those who have missed out on purchasing tickets for this month’s event, keep your eyes peels for news of our next musical soirée to be held on Saturday 3rd October!
