The Vermeille Internationale Winter Expo opens on Friday evening 25/11 at 18.00 at the Dome in Port-Vendres. Opening hours are: Saturday 26/11 10.00 till 20.00; Sunday 27/11  10.00 till 15.00. We would welcome help from volunteers (shifts of a couple of hours) manning the stands and helping in the café. Please e-mail Linda on the association e-mail address with details of your availability on Friday for setting up or on Saturday and/or Sunday.

We need two types of donations which can be brought to the Dôme from 10.00 on Saturday : firstly, cakes, quiches and pizzas to serve in the café; secondly, foodstuffs packed up to sell on our food counter – mince pies, confectionery, little and full size cakes would be very welcome. The aim is that these should be representative of the 15 different nationalities in our association.
