A Humanitarian Voyage to Ukraine Lorna tells us her story
Tuesday November 10, 2026 10:30am-2:30pm
Hotel Ambassadeurs, 50-52 Chemin des Sables, 06160 Juan Les Pins
Lorna Hawthorne, a school friend of mine, tells you about this humanitarian voyage and the dangers. The Speaker event is followed by lunch in the Hotel.
Lorna's own words: "Why would I be driving an ambulance - to take to Ukraine of course! A big birthday made me wonder how to celebrate, and what better way? Having Ukrainian friends and colleagues has made this war more personal so I decided to do something practical to help".
Medical Life Lines Ukraine buy ambulances that are equipped and still functional but have been financially written off in the UK. We overhaul them and ensure they are in good working order. Filled with medical equipment and supplies, they are driven across the Poland-Ukraine border by volunteers.
Lunch is a set Menu: 2 Courses, Entree + Plat + Coffee Gourmande.

La Malmaison Gallery - Exposition Francis Picabia
Thursday January 21, 2027
La Malmaison Art Gallery, 47 Boulevard de la Croisette, 06400 Cannes
Francis Picabia (French mother, Cuban father): born Francis-Marie Martinez de Picabia; 22 January 1879 – 30 November 1953 was a French avant-garde painter, writer, filmmaker, magazine publisher, poet, and typographist closely associated with Dada. The family was affluent, and both parents encouraged Picabia to pursue an art career. When considering the many styles that Picabia painted in, observers have described his career as "shape-shifting" or "kaleidoscopic". After experimenting with Impressionism and Pointillism, Picabia became associated with Cubism. His highly abstract planar compositions were colourful and rich in contrasts. He was one of the early major figures of the Dada movement in the United States and in France before denouncing it in 1921. He was later briefly associated with Surrealism, but would soon turn his back on the art establishment. Reflecting on his break with Dada, Picabia wrote, "If you want to have clean ideas, change them like shirts." This is a Guided visit in English.
Optional Lunch at the Cafe Olympe, on the Rooftop of La Malmaison, at Members cost after the Gallery Visit.
