English Editorial : summer 2015

As I prepare this editorial the winter season draws to a close.  The snow conditions have been good and will end on a high with a major “dump” forecast for Morzine for Easter.  

This summer will see the return of a major event, The Harley Days, featuring the famous Harley Davidson motorbikes.  Morzine will become a bikers Mecca from 11 to 14 July. American Rockers, “Toto”, will headline the festival with a free performance in the Tourist Square.  In addition other smaller concerts will take place in various parts of Morzine. 

Many of the summer activities organized by ARM will also take place including:  Hiking; Bridge; Scrabble; Tennis Tournament finishing with a barbecue for ARM members; cultural Outing; Concert for harp/cello in Morzine Church on august 4^th at 9 pm .  The summer lunch will take place at Montriond “Les Sapins” restaurant at 12 o'clock.

The AGM is a must for members who are present in Morzine on the 5^th of august at 4:30 pm. In addition to ARM business the AGM also features presentations by the Mayor, municipal officials, Tourist Office staff and this year Chief Rescue Center.  This is your chance to keep abreast of developments and to ask questions.
