30th June 2019 This event is now very popular, we also had a few new faces and visitors join us this month. 🙂 Deborah Gorsatt 28th April 2019 A smaller group of us met up this month but it was as enjoyable as ever. Zenhäusern Bakery are really getting the hang of cooking an English […]
We were a group of nine who drove up through the shady forest to the village of Saint-George, at 944 m up in the hills, north of Nyon. It was a very hot and sunny day, but up in the quiet Jura, the air was a bit cooler and not stifling like down near the […]
We had beautiful weather for the whole of the Jazz weekend in Lenk, not too hot and no rain. Everyone arrived in time for the warm welcome by Miriam the hotel manager, where we were served drinks and introduced to “Antonio” our waiter for the weekend. We then went through to the restaurant to have […]
At the last minute we had to change the date from Tuesday 9 July to Thursday 11 July, nevertheless twelve old, new and prospective members plus two dogs could enjoy a jolly lunch together. Weather a bit too cold to sit outside. Most of us enjoyed the delicious Fish and Chips, served on a strip […]
We set off in a holiday mood, boarding our boat at Lugano Giardino, heading across the Ceresio for the Cantina di Gandria.

The sun was shining brightly and the mercury was rising as a group of BRA Members and friends met at the grounds of the Aproz football club in Sion – Châteauneuf, armed with sun cream, sunglasses and hats for the day. The flags and bunting were put up early, so that everyone would know where […]
At 17:30 on our way to the QBP the heavens opened up and it poured, then it hailed and the wind was ferocious but just before 18:00 hours the sun came out and it was QBP as usual. Once again held at the hotel Merian, in the cafe Spitz where we have the balcony on […]
