Pete Bog @topffer Ok great !. Getting back on track, there will be a meeting this evening at the village town hall in which it will be very likely that the elected reps will officially decide to cancel next year’s Rosiere. Bertrand Tribout will also be there to voice...

Pete Bog @topffer Are you saying you can’t recognize John Lennon in the photo above with the checked shirt and guitar - staring into the camera ? Try to zoom in on his face - that’s John Lennon alright. More difficult to recognize him on the lorry sitting down though.

Pete Bog @topffer The original flyer along with the programme would indeed be worth a small fortune. Reprints are sold over the internet to Beatles fans. However, the 6th July is not just a date picked at random. The Rosière de Salency is celebrated the 1st Sunday...
