Join us... for our Special Event - The Godmother!
Instead of our monthly Ciné-Club, we will run a Special Event screening of The Godmother (2020) on Thursday 1 July at 6:30pm. Our French language students are holding their “class” at The Godmother so a large crowd is expected - join in the fun! Tickets available from Event - $14.50 AF member. From 6pm - complimentary bread & cheese and $5 glasses of Beach House wine "The Godmother is a beautifully crafted blend of French noir, drama and comedy with a triumphant performance by Huppert as a defiantly independent woman making her mark on the world with a bang rather than a whimper."

Our last French lesson for Term 2 is on Thu 8 July followed by a 2 week holiday, with Term 3 starting Thu 29 July.
Lessons aer Thursdays from 6:00pm-7:30pm If you are interested in joining one of our 5 classes email Carole to register your interest.”.. et voilà! «Ce n'est jamais trop tard pour apprendre le français en 2021» "It's never too late to learn French in 2021! " |
