We wish all F2C members and friends a peaceful Christmas and renewed hope and strength for the New Year.
At this time of the year we are more than aware that not everyone can be wished a joyful Christmas: some of our most loyal and hardworking members have suffered serious illness or family bereavement and we are thinking of you particularly.
Whatever your beliefs, the turn of the year and the symbolic birth of a child represent the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, and give us the strength to fight on together against the cruelty of the smoking ban and other restrictions on our humanity.
We also celebrate our growing friendship: the smoking ban has brought us together in ways we could not have imagined, and led many of us to achievements and new skills we could never have thought possible.
We reach out our hands to all our friends around the world: whatever your personal situation we value who you are and what you are doing.
Our Smoking Spring is just around the corner.
