Au Revoir

We have reached the end of term for school, judo club and rugby too. And sadly we have decided it is time to move on from Saint Jean de Losne. We have been very happy here and made to feel very welcome. We have become part of the community. The boys have made great friends too. So, the end of term has been a emotional time - for all of us.

The u9 Genlis rugby team after an end of season night out with their coaches.

And on the 30th of June we went to the end of season party at Genlis rugby club. It was a very sociable affair and Ricard were being very generous with their wares and topping up glasses in the sunshine. Each team and their coaches received applause for their achievements throughout the season. However, the u9s appraisal was kept until the very end. They had had a very good year and won two major tournaments. But the Club went that bit further and after a very complimentary speech and a guard of honour they presented Callum with a plaque and a set of monogrammed kit. Shiv was reduced to a puddle of tears and Callum was rendered speechless. 

Genlis Rugby Club is a fabulous club filled with warm, generous people who have made us feel very welcome indeed, despite the language barrier. We will miss them greatly.
