17.08.2012 12:00 to 16:30
*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Auvernier, NE
Event Type: Other
Meeting Point: Auvernier Beach, NE

Come hang out and enjoy the sunshine this friday at my favourite beach (Auvernier). There is a diving dock, showers, plenty of shady grassy areas, a kiosk and public washrooms nearby.

Bring lunch/snacks, water, blanket, your bathing suit and towel, and sunscreen. I'll bring a frisbee too for those who have a hard time just soaking up the sunshine. Kids are welcome and I hope to meet some of the newbies in the area! If there are a lot of people, I'll make sure to have an EF sign so we can find each other.

If you come by car there is paid parking right beside the lake, or you can take the Boudry Tram from Neuchatel.
RSVP'd Yes: 10 (5 members and 5 guests) RSVP'd No: 2
RSVP sign-ups for this event are now closed.

Finish work at 12:30 so I might come by after that. Would be great to catch up!

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

My favourite beach too - Excellent idea! I'm in! Will bring cold drinks and picnicky things!

The buskers' festival is on this week in Neuchatel too!

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

Kamarate - it would be great to see you again - it's been too long!

Sapin - how do you always know about all these great events in the region? I feel totally out of the loop...

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

They were setting up the beer stands for the buskers festival in town this afternoon.
You should read the local freebie paper to find out more about what's going on in the area. That's where I get most of my info from.

Go to any Café on a Friday and pick up the Express, and read out about all the events in the area. Or the Courrier Neuchatelois- don't you get it for free in your letter-box? It is such a shame that ex-pats often miss out, due to language difficulties, but your French is excellent

Buskers is great fun - hope you go.

Oh my God, I can't believe it's been sort of nearly a year since the last one. Weirdly feels like yesterday!

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

I agree, I don't know how this is already our second summer in Neuchatel - that went fast!

Anyone else interested in this lake day? Should be a good time!

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

Wish I could!

I think I'll be there on Friday around 1pm, but can't stay for long as I'm a very busy woman.

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

Hmmmmm looking forward to hear about the reasons why

Fab brass band from the Balkans (Molotov brass) last night at the Buskers' - wondered if I'd bump into you there. Looked at the Cerf, lots of British voices, but nobody I knew.

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

I didn't go to the Cerf, but had a wander round the Buskers. There was an excellent brass group I think from Bern. Sexy tuba player (not a phrase you hear very often).

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

There was indeed quite a bit of 'talent' there (wish I was young again )

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

There were quite a few randomly playing/performing at midday today. Two girl violinists were really good.

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

@ Odile

Oh yes, for sure! I wasn't going to interrupt the performances though. Just admire from afar.

@ BM

Saw them today. They were pretty good, but there was a string quartet last night who played Air on a G String while doing some pretty impressive choreography (especially the cellist - don't know how she managed to produce such pure notes!).

Might just join you!

Sorry can't come to spa with you. T is still on holiday and whilst I would trust him at home on his own I definitely don't trust his pyromaniac friend who would almost certainly be hanging around
Not really the sort of place I could drag him along to now is it.

Re: Romandie Day at the Lake

Why not- there is an indoor, and outdoor hot pools with massage jets, jakuzzis, etc, and a 'normal' temperature pool - lots of kids too. Honest, I'm sure he would love it.
