TRADE FAIR 2014
rd
Don’t miss this hugely popular event at a fabulous lakesi
de setting!
After two successful years we continue to host this popular event
showcasing many local exhibitors and their services or products.
As with previous events, we will have a wide range of products and
services available. Items such as jewellery, British foods, painted
pottery, plants and clothing, plus services including financial
advice, solar powered products, builders and beauticians to name
a few. In fact there are more than 70 exhibitors in total, so there
is certainly something for everyone.
We will be open all day from 10.30am allowing visitors to come
and go and use the other facilities available at the lakeside venue.
Once again we will have translators available throughout the day
to help with any language difficulties between visitor and exhibitor
(just wave a flag or grab a badge-wearer for some assistance!) plus
lots of goodies, games, prizes and music to keep you entertained.
The salle over-looks the lac des Effres in Secondigny and has lots
of parking! Situated off the D748 Niort-Bressuire road, it’s easy to
find... just look out for banners and signs!
Saturday 20th September,
10.30am-5.30pm
Salle Alauna, 79130 SECONDIGNY
and we have LIVE MUSIC!
Kate Stone, pictured right, is an 18 year old singer/
songwriter born in Derby and raised in the french countryside.
It was at the early age of 12, when she picked up a guitar for
the first time, and from then it was clear to all music was her
calling card.
From covers of popular songs to her own material, Kate brings
a pop/indie sound which is completed by her unique voice.
Inspired by the likes of Fleetwood Mac & KT Tunstall, she
knows how to get the audience going.
PLUS! there will be Jazz, vocal group,
‘The Salt Pin-Ups’ and singer
Anne Kennel Dessens...
Come along and enjoy an all female
line-up, from lunchtime Saturday 20th
September!

Come and Meet Jim Bryde’s
Racing Siberian Husky Team...
Jim has owned and raced Siberian’s for 27 years, breeding World
Championship winning dogs and also supplying the dogs for
‘Tomb Raider’.
He retired to France in 2012 after finally (after 7 second places)
winning Europes biggest race, Aviemore. He is now awaiting the
publication of this event after writing ‘Sled Dog Gun....Aviemore
Dreaming’, due out at the end of this year.
He now runs his dogs just for fun, although they are still trained
at the same intensity. This means four times a week running
them behind a motorised Quad at an average of 20mph. Running
them on the racing rig, which weighs around 12kgs, does not
provide the security he needs training in areas frequented by
small animals.
The Siberian Husky is a very friendly dog and loves human
contact.
Jim will be present during the day - please come and give them
a hug and perhaps a small treat, and they will be your friend for
life. He will also be demonstrating the speed of his racing team
- so keep watch!
The Siberian Huskies are superb hunters and are the one
domesticated dog that can look after itself in the wild (see the
film ‘8 Below’), therefore they see anything small as lunch! For
this reason, it is important to note that when the dogs are
running, please keep all dogs out of sight of the team.
Having arrived in France with one cat, Jim and his partner Cherry
now have four, by picking up strays. Consequently Jim also fundraises for the cat organisation NALA, and will be doing so in this
capacity at the event. Any donations can be made to him on the
day and would be greatly appreciated.
La Deuxieme Chance
When Annie Sloan invented her unique paint over 20 years ago, she
had just one aim in mind, to transform her furniture in a day. Painting
in the morning, with little or no preparation, waxing in the afternoon
and returning it to its place before evening.
Transforming your home and furniture is still that easy. We offer a
choice of either Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ or Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk
Paint. Both these eco-friendly, water based paints allow surfaces to
breath and are perfect for old French houses. With books, brushes
and waxes, we have everything you need for your project. We also offer workshops being personally
taught and approved by Annie herself and Miss Mustard Seed.
These superior paints, which we believe are the best you can buy, are suitable for furniture, walls,
floors, woodwork, beams and ceilings as well as exterior use, with excellent coverage - normally in
one coat. Come and see them and us at stand N°17.

WE’VE GOT IT COVERED
When it comes to bias, then we have to admit, Deux-Sèvres has
got it all ...
With a fabulous micro-climate, historic towns and pretty villages our wonderful countryside and fabulous food provide a veritable
feast for all the senses!
At Leggett, we’ve got the district well covered too - with ten
agents spread throughout the Deux-Sèvres we offer discerning
home buyers the best selection of properties available - whether
you’re looking for your very own château to a simple lock-up-andleave; a modern apartment or town villa to a countryside retreat,
we’ll find the property to best suit your particular needs.
We help buyers every step of the way through the purchasing
process - and with more expats choosing to buy through Leggett
Immobilier than any other agency in France, we certainly have the
ground covered!
When it comes time to move on to your next dream home then Leggett will work with you to sell your house. Each year
we promote our properties internationally - through the media
and internet we will focus on selling your property. We’re also
high profile at all the biggest and best international property
exhibitions in the UK and in Europe.
And we’ll be at the Trade Fair, Stand 44.
It’s that marketing focus which really gives us the edge when it
comes to buying and selling property.
And now we’re expanding our influence into the Vendée - such is
the growth of the property market, especially with more British
buyers seeking properties again in France - that we too are growing
our team. If you’re passionate about property and looking for a
rewarding career, then why not give us a ring?
