General Information

The ES&ASC is a social club, devoted to having fun, whilst sharing a common language : English. Every month the club organises at least three events, including gastronomic (to suit all budgets), outdoor and cultural outings. Everyone is welcome to join the ES&ASC – irrespective of nationality or mother tongue – and the club is a great way to practise your English and have fun at the same time. Half our members have a mother tongue other than English. Members of the club receive an attractive colour-printed Newsletter. There are 10 issues per year.

The Web

Our website is being rebuilt and will have a new look. You can already see it at the website/worksite http://www.englishspeakingclub.ch/, but for the moment, it contains just a copy of the printed Newsletter. Actual Newsletters can also be downloaded from :

Membership fee

Annual membership is Fr. 70.- for individual members and Fr. 100.- for couples (2 members residing at the same address). Membership fee is payable at the beginning of the year.
If you have the possibility, please make a direct payment from your CCP or bank account to the club's CCP account 10-21509-5, because this saves us the cash payment charges.
You can apply for membership any time during the current year. The first year, membership fee is proportional to the remaining months (X/12 months).

Transport

If you would like to participate in an event, but don’t have transport, let us know, and we will do our best to arrange a lift for you.

Organization

If you would like to (help to) organise an event, PLEASE contact one of the committee. All assistance or ideas are gratefully received !

Please note :
Recently, we have had people saying they would come to an event and not turning up. We understand there are many things which can happen to prevent one coming. However, when it’s a question of catering or seats reserved it causes a loss to the club which in turn makes it difficult to offer members a subsidy for some events. We know it's not always possible to make a firm arrangement weeks ahead but in future we shall have to make a charge to people who book but subsequently fail to show up.. However, if you have not booked for an event and at the last moment you find you can come, do not hesitate to phone to see if it is still possible.

English Conversation
The English Speaking & Anglo-Swiss Club of Lausanne have expanded their activities and now offer members conversation sessions. This is not a school but will help you feel more at ease speaking English. The participants pay a small fee of Fr. 10.- to the club each session.
For information contact Isobel on 021 / 802 28 58 or Jacqueline on 021 / 799 17 75

« Let’s talk »
In August 2006 the club devised a project to organise a French-for-English twinning, i.e. a person whose mother tongue is English wishing to improve their spoken French, with a person whose mother tongue is French and who wishes to improve their spoken English. If the member is a true beginner or does not have background knowledge of the foreign language, her/his language partner would be a useful aid only with the help of an adequate language book as a support to conversation.
We have had three twinnings to date, two of which are going on at present. For more information, please contact Mauricette Vuillemin (Simplon 1 bis, 1006 Lausanne, Tél : 021 616 22 48)
