Hastings & District Anglo-French Club - a club for all who love France, its language and culture
and live on Freeview channel 276
In France this involves everyone eating a slice of the delicious 'galette' - a traditional cake, celebrating the arrival of the Three Wise Men in Bethlehem and composed of puff pastry filled with frangipane and a charm or 'fève' hidden inside.
The person who finds the 'fève' is crowned, becoming king or queen. Whilst washing down our slices of galette with some French wine, we enjoyed a light-hearted quiz on all things French covering food, cooking, wine, the arts, literature and geography.

A welcome escape from our gloomy winter!
Our club meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 2.30 pm at Holy Redeemer Church Hall, Upper Church Road, St Leonards, and we welcome all who enjoy the French language and culture.
There is wheelchair access at the hall and free parking nearby.
