tebee Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 We have a local group of expats who sometimes get together for a meal or a barbecue, We were thinking of organising some more events, eg a book sale , Christmas fair and getting a website and are wondering how we should organise ourselves. Would a non-profit association be the way to go or would the costs or paperwork be prohibitive? Http://www.grumpyoldgitsinfrance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony F Dordogne Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 There is a similar organisation in 24 - ACIP - which is registered as a not for profit organisation with one of the local communes.Apart from insurance (you need to be registered as something to get insurance for fetes, events the public attend like vide greniers etc) there are no costs to running the organisation.

tebee Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Oops made a mess of the title there ... Sorry! As to who and where we are ....We are in Central Brittany and met through a now defunct forum there. As regards the non-profit association, what paper work do we need to have for one of these, Do we need to keep books ? Any ideas on the lightly cost of insurance? Thanks,Tom http://www.grumpyoldgitsinfrance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 You need to decide where the group will be based legally (which commune) toddle along to the mairie and speak to somebody there, form filling involved and a wait for approval - it's not expensive, don't remember what the insurance premium was but not too much, 170E pa comes to mind.
