SUMMARY:CSF NEWSLETTER: OCTOBER 2025
DESCRIPTION:Hallo Everyone\n\nSeptember certainly has proved to be month of contrasts weatherise. Am I the only one to start the day staring into a summer wardrobe before hunting for a sweater? Myself I’m loving the cooler weather\, after some rain\, just to see my garden recovering and plants flowering again. \n\n\nDrop Ins\n\n\nWednesday 1st October\, 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 on the terrace in the shade – or perhaps inside if it rains. \nWednesday 15th October\, Villa Lafabrègue\, Prades \nCome and have coffee with us at this lovely venue\, and bring a paperback or two to exchange. \n\nMonday 20th October\, Café des Artistes\, Laroque des Albères\, 10.15 \n\nCome and browse through our large selection of paperbacks. Any books you bring along for exchange will be gratefully received. Sorry\, but we cannot take hardbacks or non-fiction. Bring a friend and stay for a coffee. \n\n\nEvents this month\nOctober in France is Octobre Rose month to raise awareness of breast cancer\, with two main events taking place at Clinique St Pierre on the 7th and 10th\, and at CH Perpignan on the 9th\, where CSF Sud de France hope to have a stand. \nPast events\nThe regular Drop-in at the Villa Lafabrègue in Prades was much appreciated by the members and friends who came to attend the jewellery and cake sale. The weather was particularly kind\, with a perfect late summer day to appreciate the beautiful gardens\, buy some bargains\, browse the paperbacks (and eat cake). \nOur thanks to our small team of helpers and all the kind people who donated jewellery. 220€ was raised on the day\, with plans afoot to sell more jewellery at future events and online. \nFrankie\, Maggie and Lizzie at Villa Lafabrègue\nAlso in September\, CSF had an information stand in the spacious entrance hall of Perpignan’s main hospital as part of the Septembre Turquoise event . This was to help women be better informed about gynaecological cancers\, prevention\, vaccination and treatment. \nPenny and Phil at Perpignan Hospital\nLooking ahead\nMonday 17th November – A Special Event \nThe afternoon Quiz and tea party we have been planning (with cake\, tea and Cava) will take place in Thuir in the Salle Léon J Gregory in the afternoon. The doors will open at 2.30\, with the quiz starting at 3pm. \nThere will be a half-time break for refreshments and cake. Teams will be of 4 people. Numbers are limited but please reserve a table in advance for a readymade team of four\, or come along to make new friends and make up a team on the day. Pay your admission on the door at 10€ per person\, which includes your afternoon tea and glass of bubbly. There will be a prize for the winning team. \nIn addition\, there will be a bottle Tombola (do donate a bottle if you can)\, plus the sale of CSF Christmas cards. \nThe observant will notice that is the same day as the Laroque drop-in and book exchange. This will still take place in the morning\, thanks to our energetic team of volunteers. \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 \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
