The FIBA Christmas lunch is back! As well as a splendid Christmas lunch cooked and prepared by Fabrice and the Lyinc team, there will also be a Christmas Tombola, Christmas Crackers, the Christmas Quiz & loads of fun! 

For those of you who ordered Smoked Salmon, you may also collect it (to be organized with Tim). You are also invited to wear your favourite Christmas sweater / accessory to get into the yuletide spirit!
Please sign up here, it’s always lots of fun and a great way to finish the year.

From spiritualism to spiritisme.  Viviane Perret, a published author and radio journalist for RCF recently wrote an autobiography about a police officer turned medium. She will tell us about her encounters with the people she interviewed during her research on spiritism and the afterlife.

Our very own Tim Hughes, former FIBA President and practising solicitor in Lyon, will unravel the complexities of Brexit in one of his famously entertaining and educational presentations. Not to be missed !!
Since the referendum in 2016, Brexit has dominated the political landscape. The twists and turns seem never-ending. Uncertainty and unpredictability have become the norm, with businesses on both sides of the channel trying to anticipate the implications… Four scenarios : Remain, Leave with a deal, Leave with no deal, Further delay with the possibility of a general election lurking never far away, An alternative interim government…  It all has more possibilities than a Hollywood blockbuster, and all just 13 days before the next deadline!  Several of you have applied for French Nationality in the face of such uncertainty. Tim will give his unique take on it all…

This presentation will be longer than usual, so if you can, allow for a slightly longer lunch break!  You can book your place here

To make the process easier for everyone on the day, we have set up a booking platform this year, to enable players to secure their place and pay in advance by credit card. A receipt is automatically generated by the website and sent immediately by email. Here is the link for booking:Book FIBA-golf-day
You will see that you can book to play and have lunch (special rate of 70 EUR), or book lunch only (for 25€, for Beaujolais members). We do hope you can make it for this year’s FIBA golf day and we look forward to seeing you there!
