It is a new blow to a association Noyonnaise. The club Needle passionwhich for years has gathered its members around sewing, has just been deprived of the room. On the occasion of the request to renew the loan Yves-Guyon Cultural Centerthe association has been answered by email (of which we have given ourselves a copy): “The municipality refuses to make the rooms available to the association for the year 2025-2026”. Without more explanations …
It was at the Yves-Guyon center that his fifty members found himself and stored his machines there. It was there, for example, that Passion d’Aiguille made craft creations with college students from Noyon in order to make a donation to the oncology service of the Noyon hospital. It was also where the sewing fabric masks have been imagined during the covid. Masks also intended for the hospital.
Already in the spring: the end of his subsidies

This is not the first time that the Mayor Sandrine Dauchelle takes the association in flu. We remember, at the time of the announcement of municipal subsidies this spring, the city had attributed to Passion d’Aiguille la Faramineur Somme of … zero euro. If we have failed to join the president of the association, René Renard, a member of the Noyonnais associative fabric says: “Already, at the time of subsidies, they did not understand. Today, with this room refusal whose news begins to spread, it is the same thing: they are completely victims and do not know why ”.
Let’s say that they do not know “officially”. Because an explanation is in all minds: the association participated in the filing of an appeal before the administrative court in the spring. An appeal against the abolition of his subsidies. In the absence of a response from the town hall within the time of two months, the appeal has just been validated by the court and takes its course. It is also carried by the Jazz in Noyon association and the Judo Club Noyon whose aid was also cut.
Originally, political reasons?
But at the origin of these tensions, why did the city ban the association of the subsidized list? The explanation could, as often in Noyon, politics. The president of the association, René Renard, is a close friend of the former mayor Patrick Deguise. He appeared in particular on his list of the municipal elections of 2020. For the Noyonnais associations: “It is a punishment, the same as for Philippe Laredo de Jazz in Noyon or that for the judo club which coach Michel Lebrun made too much noise during the Fronde des Assos”.
This new sanction could jeopardize the club, which does not have a fallback solution to carry out its activities. A club that has an employee. Soon to be dismissed?
Tensions always present with associations
If in the spring, Mayor Sandrine Dauchelle seems to have tried to recover the associations in her pocket by returning to better envelopes than the previous year-but always much lower than those of the start of the mandate-, relations between clubs and town hall are far from beautiful.
Last weekend, on August 30 and 31, the feast of associations was held, an event that can be described without fear of semi-bit. A year after the terrible fiasco of a demonstration which had forced the mayor of Noyon to leave the premises without asking for his rest, the town hall had decided to drastically change a formula. To avoid renewing the annoying experience? The fact remains that this year, the event was held over two days: cultural clubs on Saturday, sportsmen on Sunday. No inauguration – which could have crystallized the oppositions? – was not planned. And instead of the outdoor, the event took place in partly enclosed environment, at the Pierre-Dubois gymnasium.
Certain associations, such as the Human Rights Leaguerefused to join the event. An answer to an electoral leaflet of the outgoing mayor, Sandrine Dauchelle, saying that the city had released a surplus in the last year. ”Why not redistribute this surplus to associations if it is true?” Asked the association in essence, not without sarcasm.
The Judo Club of Noyon He too decided to boycott. “We knew that some clubs need the event to make their memberships. We decided this year not to penalize them and organize our own meeting, ”explained Michel Lebrun, technical director of the association, before the event. This was therefore done on Sunday afternoon, with some success that shaded the official event where visitors were very discreet.
Several observers, perhaps surprised by the effervescence that reigned that Sunday at the Dojo, finally wondered: “This is the feast of associations or at the Dubois gymnasium?”
We tried to join Mayor Sandrine Dauchelle, she did not answer our call
