**Palerme** Je vous propose un stage "carnet de voyage" à Palerme, en Sicile. Palerme est une ville passionnante et colorée. De nombreuses cultures y ont laissé leur trace : vous y trouverez des vestiges arabes, romains, normands, des églises baroques superbes, des cloîtres romans, mais aussi des marchés orientaux et pittoresques, et une vie italienne encore très authentique... ### **Programme :** Nous peindrons en plein air « sur le motif ». Je vous proposerai des points de vue que nous gagnerons à pied ou en empruntant le bus ( pour aller à la station balnéaire de Mondello, par exemple..) . Vous pouvez choisir une optique " Carnet de voyage " ou bien " peinture", et la technique de votre choix : dessin, aquarelle, gouache... La pédagogie est constituée de démonstrations au groupe ainsi que de corrections individuelles. Nous peindrons tous les matins de 9h30 jusqu'au repas, vers 13h00/13h30. La séance de peinture peut être décalée s'il faut un peu de temps pour atteindre le motif. L'après-midi, je vous laisserai libres de continuer à peindre, vous reposer ou explorer la ville... ### **Prix et conditions :** 450 € pour le stage. Ce prix comprend l'organisation, l'animation et l'enseignement, les frais généraux de l'atelier. Il ne comprend pas le transport et le logement ou d'assurance spécifique au stage. Acompte de réservation: 200 € Plus d'information sur mon site internet : https://villa-bastille.com/

Just bring your indoor sports shoes, and a willingness to meet new friends and have lots of fun. There are changing rooms and showers. **Get There Early** Try and get there early to change and get warmed up so that we can start right on time. The courts are normally not being used before we play, so we can get a little extra time playing. **Registration & Payments** Registration is 14€ per person, and you can sign up via PayPal through this event page. For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/jonathwu3q with a description of which event you are signing up for, and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you. *Please Note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.* **Annual Membership Option** For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80€ for the first year and is renewable each year for 40€. This reduces the weekly registration fee to only 10€ per session. **No Refunds** In the case of a cancellation or no-show, there are no refunds. See you all on the court on Sunday. Happy badminton-ing! Kelvin (0603250357) and Vijay (0767341832), **FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS** 1. I don’t speak French, can I join? * Yes!

Can I get a refund? * No refunds for cancellations or no-shows. If you inform us early enough, we can try to find a substitute and refund you, but no guarantees. 4. Why can’t I get a refund? * We need a fixed number of participants to maximize court usage, court fees, team arrangements, and team rotations. Cancelations throw all of this off. 5. Do I need to bring anything? Water? Racquets? Birdies? * If you have your own racquet, that will be best! Otherwise, we have spare ones and we provide the shuttlecocks.

**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens** **This month’s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on women’s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.** Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared. Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosnia—until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend—the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*
