	Parish Photo Exhibition	07/05/2020	Liberation Day		LIBERATION DAY 2020 in LOCKDOWN The Parish Connétables have announced plans for exhibitions across the island later in the year. Parishioners are being invited to submit photographs of their home and street in lockdown and also decorated for Liberation 75 – 2020. Chairman of the Comité des Connétables, Deidre Mezbourian, explained – QUOTE Parish plans, and those of the Island, to mark Liberation 75 – 2020 may have been cancelled but many of my parishioners are still entering into the spirit of celebration and have decorated their homes with flags and bunting. I didn't want to see this wasted and have suggested to my fellow Connétables that each Parish could put on an exhibition later in the year when life gets back to normal. We're aware there are a number of other organisations also collecting photographs of this period in our island's life and this is not intended to detract from those initiatives. But it will be wonderful for each Parish to have its own record of these weeks in lockdown and also the way Liberation 75 is celebrated. I'm delighted that my fellow Connétables are supportive of this proposal as an additional way to mark Liberation 75. Parishioners are invited to send in photographs of Liberation 75, showing homes decorated for the occasion and street parties (at a social distance) and of 'lockdown'. The photographs will be displayed at the Parish Hall for all to view following the lifting of COVID-19 movement restrictions. The Connétables very much hope that all who now regard Jersey as their home will seek to preserve the special status of Liberation Day and will celebrate the occasion. Notes for the Editor: Contact for further information: Deidre Mezbourian, Connétable of St Lawrence and Chairman of the Comité des Connétables; tel: 861672 or 07797-751296 Photographs should be sent by email to your Parish by the end of May 2020 – Parish email addresses stbrelade@posb.gov.je stclement@posc.gov.je grouville@pog.gov.je townhall@posh.gov.je stjohn@posj.gov.je stlawrence@posl.gov.je stmartin@posmn.gov.je stmary@posmy.gov.je stouen@poso.gov.je stpeter@posp.gov.je stsaviour@poss.gov.je trinity@pot.gov.je

	Assistance required from Jerriais speakers	24/02/2017	If you speak Jerriais, then please come forward		Jèrriais recording project Hopefully many of our Jèrriais-speaking parishioners will be reading this! Some of you will be aware of the recent news that Dr. Mari Jones from Cambridge University, who is Reader in French Linguistics and Language Change (to give her formal title) is leading a project to record Jèrriais this spring/summer onwards. She has been a longstanding friend to Jersey with her great interest in Jèrriais, our native language, now only spoken by less than 5% of Jersey's population. Such has been her interest that she has learnt to speak Jèrriais, really quite fluently! Starting in April, a team of recorders who themselves speak Jèrriais, want to hear from as many Jèrriais speakers as possible in order to record accent and vocabulary. There are words and phrases used in some parishes which are not used in other parishes! This may not sound very important, but if not recorded by native speakers, they are lost to the printed word only, nowhere nearly as valuable as the spoken word! So, if you would be willing to have your Jèrriais recorded – it can be speaking to a friend who also speaks Jèrriais or just yourself – please contact Colin Ireson at L'Office du Jèrriais on 449290 or home 726871 to register your interest. Recording can last 10 minutes or half an hour, it's up to you! Mèrcie bein des fais,
