All expectations met on Friday night

There was a good turn out to the Usine a Gaz on Friday night to see the superb production of  Dicken's "Great Expectations", performed by the Kayonan theatre company. A mesmorising production, superb acting by two very talented actors, it made for a great start to the weekend. Thankyou VERY Much to all those who came to see the play and to say "Hello". Let's hope there will be more collaborations with Nyon art events and this site in the future. The next date for your diary is Thursday 28th January when there will be a "Living in Nyon" evening talk in English, on "Swiss Politics for Dummies" by Jordan Davies of World Radio Switzerland.  The talk will be followed by an introduction to your local councillors and they will explain their role on the council. Full details to follow soon. December is just round the corner and with it, a whole host of Christmas events on the Nyon and area calendar. We'll try to get as many listed as possible here. The first event coming up is that the iceskating rink returns to Nyon on the 4th December and will be in place until the 28th February. This year it will be down on the Rive, not by the railway station. See the ice rink website for full details. Other news, although the Paléo music festival maybe 8 months away it has already launched its poster for next year. Each year a competition is held to design the poster and this year's winner is 21 year-old Philippe Comte, a student in visual communication at the High School for Art and Design in Geneva. The shapes on the poster are placed in a way that allows you to make out the word "Paléo" and also discern a smiling face. Paléo has also unveiled a brand new website too, check out the great video on the home page, a great reminder of previous festivals.
