Do you want to improve your French language skills?            Disappointed (as I am) in my own progress after several years in France I wondered if there was an individual who would help guide/mentor a small group of serious learners.   So far that group thought is in my head but I have talked to and know of one or two others interested if something serious and focused were to be made to happen.    I have several learning books, including GCSE level, and am not a complete beginner so a possibility is that individual members similarly able may role-play with learning suggestions.    We are in the Ruffec area. I have listed this in sport and leisure as the only appropriate category. 

A new Walking Football team will be starting in Aubeterre soon. It'll be run by a Walking Football Association qualified Tournament Referee and all skill levels are welcome. It's a great way to get back into football, up fitness levels and enjoy some banter with good company. We'll also have the challenge of playing against other sides and tournaments when we're ready. If you're interested please email me at [email protected]

Hi, Can anybody shed light on the procedure for disabled parking at Stade Rochelais please. Our first visit to the ground was a couple of weeks ago, on arrival I asked one of the stewards if there was disabled parking available and was told yes, but he then produced a list of names and asked if we were on it - sadly we weren't but he allowed us to park anyway ( what a lovely man!!) and I assumed that when you purchase match tickets you also have to reserve a disabled parking space.  However, I can't find any way of doing this on the official site and have sent an email asking for help but haven't had a reply. We're going to La Rochelle/Harlequins match on 21st Jan and I'd like to organise parking asap - does anybody have experience of this please?Many thanks
