Le Bugue Red Cross
Welcome to a world of mutual aid

In Le Bugue’s old tax office, opposite the primary school in
rue de la Boétie, when the braderie (*) is on it’s the very best place to go for
second-hand clothes for the whole family … and you’ll get the warmest of welcomes
from the devoted voluntary workers who collect and redistribute all the clothing.
The Red Cross needs you - to continue helping people, quickly, simply and with the
same efficiency.

Superheroes on supersize screen

On 2 August, Le Bugue rolled an immense 5m x 6m screen down from
the balcony of the town hall to prove how immensely proud the whole village is of
its champions, the ASBB players, winners of the French Fédérale 3 Rugby Championship.
Sophie Cattoire’s film recounting their heroic match and also the third half: the
fans rushing onto the field to hug and kiss the champions, the celebrations in the
changing rooms, the baptism of the shield with champagne, the journey back to Le
Bugue and the party on the covered marketplace, gave everyone the chance to relive
those unforgettable moments with the same enjoyment.
A DVD of the film will be released on 28 September on the occasion of a projection
at the Cinéma Lux in Le Buisson. There will be a special treat: the champions’ bodega
in Le Bugue on July 7, the Shield being presented on the balcony of the town hall
– with everyone on cloud nine – and more surprises which we’re keeping secret…

Le Bugue honours its champions

To mark the historic event – ASBB’s victory in the French Fédérale
3 Rugby Championship Final – all the players were invited to the Porte de la Vézère
on 10 July, 2007 by Gérard Fayolle who presented each one of them with a reproduction
of the mythical shield with their name engraved on it. A few days earlier, on 7
July, the whole village had acclaimed them by arranging a spur-of-the-moment bodéga
on the Place de l’Hôtel de Ville which had been beautifully decorated by the players’
wives and the organizers.
