Following the tradition of last few yeaars, we plan to commemorate the independence day of India with all new and old Indians in Toulouse. On this occasion we propose a one day picnic to the medieval fortified town (Bastide) of Castelnau de Montmiral. We shall also visit the winery of chateau Lastours, learn how the wine is distilled and will have a wine tasting session too. Afternoon and evening will be spent by the lake side (Base de loisirs Vère-Grésigne) with plenty of games and other activities.
It is a perfect opportunity to get to know each other and to celebrate the Indian Independence day. Feel free to inform your friends who may not be aware of activities of this group or its website.
We wish to see you all there for the fun filled day.

3) The lunch is planned on the banks of the lake at 14h00. Disposable plastic plates, spoons, glasses and paper napkins will be provided by organizers. Do ensure that you get required serving spoons for your contribution for the potluck. Due to the hot weather currently prevailing, please make sure that the food you bring is good enough to last till 14h00 on the day. Ex: If you are preparing the food a day before then please make sure that you store it in the fridge and bring it the next day, without re-heating it.
4) We had received several questions on what the Potluck is and what shall your contribution be? The idea is simply to pool in all the food, snacks and drinks that each one of us plans to bring and share it with everyone else.
5) The fees for boating, swimming, and other games at the lake will be borne by the individual. Please ensure that you are well equipped for the activities you plan yourself.
6) There is place for a picnic area where we are free to play games. Please bring along any games that you think will be ideal for this picnic.
