On Saturday, at La Doline, 168 guests responded to the call of the Sport for All club to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary. The club was actually founded on October 13, 1976.
The activities at that time included family walks on foot or by bike, skiing trips to Brameloup, basketball, and, notably, the first women’s soccer match between “single women” and “married women”!
Since then, the club has evolved greatly and today it offers a wide range of disciplines: hiking, stretching, gentle gym, yoga, qi qong, fitcardio, children’s body awakening, and even plans to offer pilates sessions for the new school year.
This evening allowed former club members and current practitioners to gather together for an aperitif and buffet. Excitement and embraces marked the beginning of the evening. Then it was time to sit at the table and enjoy a royal menu prepared by the Bastide brothers.
Conversations flowed freely. The atmosphere was warm.
At the end of the meal, the president, Évelyne Pagès, and Bernard Falgayrat reflected on the club’s history. A bouquet was offered to the president while the cake was served. Élisabeth Sauveplane, vice-president of the Departmental Committee for Hiking (CDRP) as well as the salaried secretary of the department for the Sports for All federation (gym), spoke.
Pauline Bousquet apologized for Michel Arnal, the new mayor of the municipality. The evening continued with lively music until the early hours of the morning. A very festive atmosphere!
A big thank you to the president and participating members for their active help in the success of this lovely evening.
