Taurine Clubs & Organizations

--France--

ANDA : Association Nationale Des Aficionados
A national organization with sections throughout France.

The President of ANDA is Christian GEBELIN. His address is:
LE RÛ n°7
34730 PRADES LE LEZ
FRANCE

Every year ANDA presents the "egoine d'or" award (i.e., the "golden saw," or "serucho de oro") to the corrida in which the taurine world was insulted by the most egregious horn shaving incident; and
the "plume d'aigle" to the year's best journalist (in '96 awarded to Jacques DURAND from the newspaper LIBERATION); and also to the best encierro presented in France (in '96 awarded to CUADRI).
In past years, the "plume d'aigle" has been awarded to (among others) Vicente ZABALA, Joaquin VIDAL, Pierre DUPUY (Director of the French taurine magazine, TOROS), Joël BARTOLOTTI (also from TOROS), A.M. DUBOSC (Director of TENDIDO), and Jean-Pierre DARACQ "EL TIO PEPE" (from TOROS).

ANDA publishes "La Lettre de l'ANDA" (four 4-page issues each year) containing extracts from taurine magazines, translations of material by Spanish critics, and original materials by ANDA's members.
ANDA also holds "coloquios." The next will be March 14th, in CASTELNAU LE LEZ (a 45 Kms from Nîmes, and 5 from Montpellier - in the "Centre Culturel André Malraux" at 9:00PM), with the Ganadero, Fernando CUADRI.
