A dinner was held on 7 October 2026 in CoCo Restaurant, Belfast, in celebration of the exceptional contribution of Claudine McKeown (centre-right, seated) to the Cercle français. A former president, and longstanding committee member, her involvement dates back to the 1960's. To the regret of everyone, Claudine will be leaving these shores in the near future - she will be greatly missed. We wish her many years of happiness to come. Merci pour tout, Claudine, et bon voyage !
