The Cambridge Society of Paris

By Mr Andrew Lyndon-Skeggs (1967)

Cambridge is global; its network is worldwide. In Paris, this network is represented by the Cambridge Society of Paris, where I was recently elected as President.

The Society, active since 1996, works to gather alumni and undergraduates, facilitate access to Paris, liaise with other alumni groups, and provide bursaries to assist students with projects relevant to France.

It also organises a busy events calendar; in the coming months, we will host a Challenge Debate against the Cambridge Union, the first-ever overseas performance by the musical revue group the Fingask Follies, play readings, guided walks, and a fabulous Christmas Party. Taking place during the evening of Monday 18 December, this year’s Christmas Party will be held in the stunning Salons Vénitiens at the Musée des Arts Forains, as featured in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. It will feature a packed programme of jazz, tap dancers, and perhaps even a conjuror.

The Society hopes to double its membership over the next year, with special emphasis on younger members. If you would like to learn more about joining this fast-growing group, please contact Andrew Lyndon-Skeggs via email: anls@lyndon-skeggs.com
