Momo..

Momo gives percussion lessons on Saturdays. He's the sort of person who's always smiling, who never keeps still. He was giving his demonstration when the compere suggested that one of the oriental dancers joined him for an impromptu performance.
Overheard when passing the Danse Orientale stand: " Join the group and we'll make a real woman of you"

La Tete et Les Jambes

Another look at the Forum des Associations and some of the activities. What amazes me is the number and diversity of the courses available to satisfy mind and body and most of them are very affordable. I give English conversation lessons for free, for example, though there's a small subscription fee for joining the Sports and Cultural association and you could study Italian for practically nothing too.
Me? I'm tempted by the Qi Gong class. I'd like to do Tai Chi but the hours don't suit. I'm no good at art but yoga is a possibility and I'd like to take up Bridge again...
What will you be taking up this year?

Sundays in Opio!

Every year all the local sports and cultural associations band together to hold the Forum des Associations. This year it was held in Opio and was combined with the inauguration of our new Parc de Sports et Loisirs of which we are immensely proud. It was all such a pleasure I wish you could have been there...all the clubs had stands selling their wares and around the park were dotted activities for all the family: mini golf, basketball, 5 a side football, chess et al.
These are the teachers of the Salsa club in Opio giving a demonstration. The whole club danced later on stage but it drew such a crowd that it was impossible to take a photo....
