SUMMARY:CSF NEWSLETTER: JUNE 2019
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nHello Everyone\nThe snow on Canigou is slowly melting\, leaving behind glistening white snail-trails for us to count and work out how many more days of spring there are before the start of summer. Or you can just count backwards from June 21st. \nIn our house the most significant sign that summer is coming is the ceremonial folding of the electric blanket which took place a couple of days ago! \nI may have said it before but I’ll say it again\, this is the only time of year when my small garden comes into splendid bloom and bursts with colour and scent and so for this reason alone I’d really like to hold onto Spring for just a bit longer. \nOur Vide Grenier on May 12th was well supported despite the wind\, it also gave us a chance to renew contact with La Ligue members.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nCycle for Life\nThe Cycle for Life Cycle Ride was in the Languedoc-Roussillon.  It finished in Perpignan on Sunday 19th May after a circuit taking 5 days from Mazamet through to Bedarieux and then along the coast and étangs from Beziers through Gruissan\, Port La Nouvelle\, Le Barcarès and Perpignan. \nA total of  25 cyclists took part\, cycling one or more days.  Have a look at the photos here. \nThe final stage between Le Barcarès and Perpignan saw supporters along the route and the cyclists arrived at the finishing line near the Palais de Congres around 12 noon\, with the huge fountains playing and a celebratory buffet welcoming them home. \nHazel Turner and Geoff Hunt cycled all 5 days\, a magnificent effort with torrential rain all day Friday and they were supplemented on the last day by Lizzie Williams and Lizzie Dawson with Dani and Brian Farmborough from the P-O. \nAs a result we are more than half way to achieving our goal of €10\,000 in sponsorship.  This will fund  the Trainers’ Conference and two-day Train the Trainer course in November at Toulouse Oncopole. \nPat Locket\, the CSF National president\, wanted us to pass on a BIG thank you to all who made the finish of the Cycle Ride such a success. Our thanks go to Penny who\, with support from various people along the way\, was the main organiser for the Cycle Ride.  Also our thanks to all those who shouted\, cheered and encouraged our riders and to those who very kindly baked cakes and quiches for our celebratory buffet.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nTHIS MONTH’S DROP-INS:\nWednesday 5th June – Céret 10.30am – 12pm \nPablo’s Bar in the Place Pablo Picasso. Come and join us for coffee and conversation. There are books and DVDs. \nMonday 17th June – Laroque des Albères – 10.30am – 12pm\nCome along and have a browse\, buy a coffee and take two books.  We have a large turnover of books and we encourage you to bring as many paperbacks as you can carry. I’m afraid we can’t take any more hardback books at the moment. \nWednesday 19th June – Ille sur Têt – 10.30am – 12pm\nLizzie’s is open for business this month with coffee and cake as usual. \nTHIS MONTH’S EVENTS:\nFriday 14th June CSF Information Day\, Cailhau – Aude \nOur President\, Phil Mercer\, is running this Information Day in the Aude.  I appreciate that this is a fair distance to travel for a lot people but please do have a look at what the day is all about in the document below. \nWe in the P-O are also very keen to encourage members to take a more active part in our activities and we’re thinking of using the same format to set up our own Information Days\, slightly closer to home. \nIt would be really helpful if we had some idea of how many people would be interested in coming along.  It’s all very informal and convivial and there’s absolutely no pressure to commit straight away.  You simply come and listen\, chat to a few people\, ask questions and then go away and think about it. \nFor now\, though\, I’d just like to get some idea of numbers so if you’re interested in learning a bit more about becoming an Active Volunteer\, please let me know. \n \nTuesday 25th June Advances in Cancer Cure & Care\, Thézan-lès-Béziers 2.30pm \nThis is an exciting opportunity to hear the latest developments in cancer cure and treatment presented in English by leading oncologist Professor Dubois. He was the Director General of Institute of Cancer\, Montpellier for 14 years and is currently President of la Ligue\, Hérault. \nThe presentation is jointly organised by CSF-Languedoc and La Ligue in Thézan-lès-Béziers.  The event is being held to cement a new partnership between la Ligue contre le cancer Comité de l’Hérault and CSF-Languedoc and to mark CSF-Languedoc’s 10 years of offering support to those affected by cancer.  It starts at 2.30pm  and is free. \nIf you would like to attend\, please contact Penny (sud-penny@cancersupportfrance.org) and she will do her best to organise car-sharing. \nBy way of a small divertissement\, the Marie of Thézan-lès-Béziers are organising a special tour of the old village\, taking place at 10.30am and 5.30pm\, which will include some remarkable trompe l’ceil frescoes. \n  \n\n\n\nLOOKING AHEAD\n\nThursday 5th September CSF SUD WALK FOR LIFE Maureillas \n\nIn early June\, two new walking routes are being explored.  Final routes and more details will be available in the July Newsletter.  If you would like to take part\, or help on the day\, please do email Penny Parkinson at: sud-penny@cancersupportfrance.org\, who would love to hear from you. \nCome and walk or just join in the fun. There will be stalls with cakes\, books\, bric-a-brac and CSF products and a licensed bar plus tea & coffee.  Stay for lunch and bring a picnic and something to cook on our barbecue (there will be a fridge to keep stuff cool).  More details soon. \n\nSaturday 12th October AUTUMN BALL Bages \nAnother year\, another Autumn Ball.  If you’ve been before\, tell your friends and bring them along\, it’s a great evening.  There’s live music & dancing\, an auction\, bottle and tombola stalls & a tapas-style meal with wine and a bar selling beer and soft drinks.  Check out last year’s event for an idea and please make a note in your diary.  More details next month. \n\nSaturday 9th November Quiz Night Eus 7pm \nThe Quiz Night in Eus is at the Maison de Temps Libre.  There will be tables of four or six teams and each team competes to win a prize.  Tickets will be available from the 17th of July 10€ each. \nThere will be a simple finger food buffet plus wine and a chance to win a bottle or two on the Bottle Tombola. \n\nSunday 17th November Rifle Pour La Vie Collioure 3pm \nEvery year La Ligue contre le Cancer organises a Rifle at the Centre Culturel in Collioure. For those who don’t know\, a Rifle (it rhymes with skiffle) is lotto or bingo but with prizes that are original and varied such as works of art by local artists and sculptors\, produce and services offered by artisans\, local shops\, restaurants and winemakers. The money raised will be used to fund the multifaceted work of La Ligue (see above). There’ll be more on this later. \nDiana Eastaff[/vc_column_text][vc_cta h2=”” css=”.vc_custom_1549034423209{background-color: #abc3d8 !important;}”]Are you interested in finding out more about what CSF does?  If so please email Penny (sud-president@cancersupportfrance.org) \nPlease pass this on to anyone you know who may be interested in any of these events and for further information please contact me by e-mail on deastaff@yahoo.co.uk or by phone 04 68 82 90 49. \nAnd check out our website at csf-suddefrance.webs.com for all our future events[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n

SUMMARY:ART IN PORT VENDRES
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nVermeille Internationale Art Exhibition\nThe sixth edition of the Exhibition of the artists of the Côte Vermeille will be held at the Dome in Port-Vendres from 12th to 17th June. \nVermeille Internationale is a not-for-profit association based in Port Vendres\, whose mission statement reads: “Having a good time with friends\, whilst raising money for good causes”.  \nAiming to improve integration between international and French residents whilst supporting local and international charities\, each year they organise an art exhibition in the Dôme\, offering local artists from the Côte Vermeille an opportunity to showcase their work.  \nLast year’s event saw over 500 visitors raise over 1500€!\nOpen to all amateurs\, this is an exceptional opportunity for local creatives to meet with the general public. Each artist can exhibit 1-4 pieces\, meaning there is always a great variety of work on offer. \nEvery year there is an impressive range of styles\, mediums and nationalities with over 18 countries represented within the association! Join them on Saturday 15th from 7.30pm to 11pm for an extra special evening viewing\, accompanied by tapas and music (10€). \nFurther information\, including registration forms for artists who would like to exhibit\, can be found on the website. \n\n\n\n\nPROGRAMME\nTuesday 11th\n10am – 12.30pm Delivery of work (by appointment in the afternoon)\n6pm – 8pm Private viewing \nWednesday 12th – Friday 14th\n11am – 7pm Exhibition open \nSaturday 15th\n11am- 7pm Exhibition open\n7.30pm – 11pm Music and tapas evening \nSunday 16th – Monday 17th\n11am – 7pm Exhibition open\n7pm Removal of work from \n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_cta h2=”” txt_align=”” shape=”” style=”” color=”” css=”.vc_custom_1493708804204{background-color: #b58f89 !important;}”] \nLe Dôme – Port Vendres\nWith Michael Brady \n \nFrom assemblies of legislatures that convene under them to zoological collections housed by them\, domes signal unusual venues round the world. \nFrance has many\, including Le Dôme restaurant\, an Art Déco masterpiece on the Left Bank in Paris\, Le Dôme Théâtre in Albertville and the ultramodern Le Dôme entertainment centre in Marseille. \nThough of lesser fame\, Le Dôme in Port Vendres sets itself apart from its namesakes by having the most curious of dome histories. \nDesigned in the late 18th century by royal architect Charles de Wailly as one of the grand buildings contiguous with Place de l’Obélisque at the harbour\, the neoclassical Le Dôme originally was meant to be a hotel for foreigners. \nIt must have done poorly at that\, as in 1835\, five years after Port Vendres became the principal port for dispatching soldiers and supplies to the French colony in Algeria\, Le Dôme was given to the Army as a flat for the military governor of the adjoining barracks. \nIt fulfilled that role for some hundred years. \nPartly destroyed during the Second World War\, Le Dôme was restored afterwards as an art and culture centre. The restoration was visionary\, as today Le Dôme offers a pallet of exhibitions\, concerts and other cultural events\, peaking in summer. \nInside\, the chalk-white walls impart an aura of veneration to works displayed\, and the lower-level garden facing l’Obélisque affords a splendid view of the harbour as well as superb acoustics for concerts held there. \nAt the garden level there’s a small\, permanent gallery dedicated to the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh\, the famed early 20th century architect\, designer and artist. The location is fitting\, as in 1923\, the scenes in and around Port Vendres prompted him to devote himself entirely to painting. \nOpening hours throughout the year are 2.30pm – 7pm\, or longer for special events.\nFor the schedule of upcoming events\, contact the Port Vendres Office de tourisme (0468820754) or the Mairie (04 68820103) \n[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n
