SUMMARY:CSF NEWSLETTER: DECEMBER 2023
DESCRIPTION:Hello Everyone\n\nI don’t know which is the bigger pile\, the leaves stacked up outside our front gate or the Christmas cards on our coffee table\, waiting to be written! \nDon’t you think this is the best time of year for the plane trees? Bleached white bark with barely a leaf left on them – nude and quite majestic!\nI think Autumn in the P-O is prettier than in any other part of the world. The sky is as blue as it was in full summer\, the sun at midday casts a summer evening glow over everything and of course that glistening icy mountain\, defining our life here. \nYesterday\, as I walked along\, an acorn dropped on my head – this probably explains all of the above! \nAndy Paton\nI’m sure many of you will remember Andy Paton who died a few weeks ago. He was known to quite a few people as he drove his ‘little white van’ which advertised CSF on its sides. Penny has written a nice tribute to him on the Forum. \n\n\nTraining courses\nOur Training Lead\, Rob Houghton\, is setting up a couple of training sessions for Active Listeners. \n27 & 28 February & 19 March\nThe first one will be an Initial Training Course for people who want to become Active Listeners. The venue has not been decided yet as Rob wants to get an idea of numbers before booking somewhere. \nHe is also considering a Refresher Course for Active Listeners. It will be run in each of the departments so P-O volunteers should not have far to travel. It will be 3 days\, like the Initial Training Course\, but the volunteers themselves can decide whether they want the course to run over 3 consecutive days\, one day a week for 3 weeks\, or 2 evenings a week for 3 weeks. \nAnyone interested in either course should contact sud-robintraining@cancersupportfrance.org \nChristmas cards\nOur Christmas Cards are now on sale. Click on this link and have a look OR come to CERET or LAROQUE for the Drop In – see below. If you order online we will try our best to get them to you before Christmas. \nDrop Ins\n\n\nWednesday 6 December\, Pablo’s Bar\, Céret\, 10.30 \nCome along for coffee and chat. There will also be books and and Céret is a great place to meet up with friends. Christmas Cards will be on sale!\nMonday 18 December\, Café des Artistes\, Laroque des Albères\, 10.15 \n\nCome along and buy a coffee and take away a book or two.  If you have books to bring\, they must be paperbacks please.  No large books and no hardbacks or non-fiction.  Christmas Cards will be on sale!\n\nThere will be no Drop In at Prades this month \n\nLooking ahead\nA note for your diary\, the AGM will be on Wednesday 31 January 2024. It will be a different venue. This time we are at the Ibis Styles Castelnaudary. Check it out – it looks rather nice and it is very easy to find. \nPenny will be circulating members around the middle of December with further details. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease remember that if anyone is struggling or needing help\, the CSF telephone and email helplines are always open.   We are there for everyone needing assistance at this time as well as for those affected by cancer. There is also lots of information on our website.\n\n\n\n\n\nA  joyful Christmas and a happy and peaceful New Year to you all!\nDiana Eastaff \n
