When Les Sablons Tearooms at L’Eree closed in June 2007, La Société’s Conservation Officer, Jamie Hooper approached the owner, Eric Ozanne with a suggestion that we might use the empty tearoom as an Interpretation Centre.
At the time, Eric wasn’t sure whether or not one of his family might wish to run the business, but promised Jamie first refusal if they decided not to. Eric honoured this pledge a year later.
La Société has put in an application to the Environment Planning department for change of use of part (approximately two thirds) of the tearoom. Joy Goldsmith will be employed to serve teas in the remaining third and in the garden.
She will also act as custodian of the Interpretation Centre (subject to permission having been granted) and will open and close each day. She will also sell our goods.
We could not wish for a better site. It overlooks the Ramsar Site and on the day that Jamie and the President first visited Eric to begin negotiations, a Marsh Harrier and a Buzzard were circling over the reed beds.
