Meeting in the Dark

As I'm sure you've gathered, I'm on the committee of our local refugee support association, known as AARST. When I arrived for our last meeting, held in a syndicate room in the salle des fetes complex, the power was out and there were two elderly people stuck in the lift. They had been attending a jazz concert in the big main function room upstairs. Luckily someone arrived after about half an hour with a special key and they were released. But we held our meeting in the dark, lit by phone torches. Oh well, solidarity with Ukraine and all that...

Our formidable vice-president Nina, and president Christiane.

The power cut remains random and mysterious and the mayor was attempting to get to the bottom of it last I heard.
