SUMMARY:CSF NEWSLETTER: MARCH 2025
DESCRIPTION:Hallo Everyone\n\nI don’t think I’m imagining the feeling of Spring in the air? Certainly there are encouraging signs of renewal in my garden\, plus the sunshine yellow of gorse and mimosa on the hillsides. \nAnd please don’t forget – Jill Merriam\, our Regional Representative for the PO\, is doing a sterling job but is now in need of some help. If you think this could be you\, please contact Jill at : sud-po@cancersupportfrance.org \n\n\nDrop Ins\n\n\nWednesday 5 March\, Pablo’s Bar\, Céret\, 10.30 \n\nCome along for a coffee and a chat. There will be some paperbacks to exchange and some friendly faces.\n\nMonday 17 March\, Café des Artistes\, Laroque des Albères\, 10.15 \nCome and have a browse through our large selection of paperbacks.

Gather from 9h30 for coffee\, with the meeting starting at 10h. \nOur speaker is Chris Elliot\, one of the few people with experience of operating a research ship in extreme polar environments. He joined British Antarctic Survey over 30 years ago\, as a junior deck officer on the RRS John Biscoe and went on to command the RRS James Clark Ross. He has fascinating stories to tell about his work in the Antarctic and its many challenges. \nThe meal will be 22€\, with the food being much appreciated last year.
