Our Association held its Annual General Meeting on Saturday April 26 in the church of Tocqueville, in the presence of Chantal Ducouret, Mayor of Tocqueville. Our President Denis Onfroy welcomed the participants and recalled the close and constructive relationship that has always existed between the municipality and the association, which was created in April 2009.
This was an opportunity to review all the restoration work carried out on the church over the last 16 years by the Commune de Tocqueville, with the active support of our Association, and in particular the major programme of damp-proofing the walls and floor, which was completed in October 2024; this last programme, like the previous ones, was the subject of an agreement between the Commune, the Association and the Fondation du Patrimoine, for the collection of donations, which is now closed.
However, there is still work to be done, and the schedule is currently under review. We’ll keep you informed of any decisions taken, including the establishment, with the Fondation du Patrimoine.
In any case, our Association will continue to operate, if only to enable our volunteers to carry out many tasks that do not require the intervention of contractors.
In 2024, our Association, with some sixty members and donors, organized several events, and the 2025 program includes the official inauguration of the work on July 5, the Book Fair on July 12, 13 & 14, the Discovery Walk on Saturday July 26, and participation in the Heritage Days in September.
In accordance with the company’s articles of association, one third of the 12-member Board of Directors was renewed. The incumbents, who stood for re-election, were re-elected. At a meeting on May 10, the Board of Directors re-elected the officers elected in 2024.
The annual subscription remains at €5. The 2025 membership form also allows you to make a donation to our Association. We appreciate your interest in preserving our heritage and thank you in advance for your participation and help.
