Those of my students whom I took with me benefited considerably from the authentic experience of the language in a region of France, which we came to call our own. I am still in contact with the many friends I made during these educational visits: a lasting tribute to an organisation, which is soon to celebrate its 40th anniversary." e-mail: cyriljones998@btinternet.com A unique SLE committee member Loraine is currently our only
