SUMMARY:CSF NEWSLETTER: FEBRUARY 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hallo Everyone\n\nWhat interesting weather we’ve been experiencing. Actual winter weather. I won’t say enjoying\, although\, as a keen gardener\, rain is usually welcomed with delight. I hope you have all been able to keep warm and dry\, remembering that Spring is round the corner… \n\n\nDrop Ins\n\n\nWednesday 4th February\, Bar le Pablo\, Céret\, 10.30 \n\nCome along for a coffee and a chat. There will be some paperbacks to exchange and friendly faces back in our usual venue in the centre of town. \nMonday 16th February\, Café des Artistes\, Laroque\, 10.30 \n\nIn dry weather – come and browse our large selection of paperbacks and enjoy a coffee on the terrace. Any paperback books you contribute will be gratefully received\, but we cannot take hardbacks or non-fiction. \n\nWednesday 18th February\, Villa Lafabrègue\, Prades\, 10.15 \nCome and have coffee with us at this lovely venue\, and bring a paperback or two to exchange. \n\n\n\n\n\nLooking ahead\nThe CSF annual Open Meeting and lunch will be held for the first time at the Hotel Cortie\, 3 Impasse Jean-Jacques Rousseau\, 66300 Thuir. We are fortunate to have as our guest speaker the writer and journalist Ellen Turner Hall\, on the topic of ‘Patrick O’Brian in Collioure’.

Activity for Life will be back in September and the Quiz with afternoon tea in November. \nPast events\nOn 28 January we held the CSF – Sud de France Annual General Meeting In Carcassonne. Over 50 members from across the Sud region heard updates and information concerning the past year from our President\, Jane Beck\, Treasurer Sue Ackloo and Training Lead Rob Houghton. \nWe had all had the opportunity to read reports from the Departmental Representatives. As CSF -Sud de France is a widespread region geographically\, that includes the Arièrge\, Aude (Sud & Ouest)\, Tarn with Tarn et Garonne – and\, of course\, our own Pyrénées-Orientales. \nBefore we settled down to an convivial lunch\, we were entertained by a lively talk from Rachel Thomas-Bonnet\, the go-to fixer regarding life in France for expats\, from buying property and navigating the endless paperwork. Many of us were pleased to buy her book ‘Escape the Crazy’ (www.perfidealbion.com)\, with the sales receipts on the day being donated to CSF. \n\n\n\n\nPlease remember that if anyone is struggling or needing help\, the CSF telephone (0800 240 200) and email helplines are always open. We are there for everyone needing assistance at this time\, as well as those affected by cancer. \nThere is also a lot of information on our website : https:// cancersupportfrance.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nc/nn[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nShare this:\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
