The Telethon activities begin this Thursday, November 6 in Bagnols-sur-Cèze. Then between Friday and Sunday, three walks are planned as well as various activities and initiations offered by associations and the City of Bagnols-sur-Cèze.
Activities for the benefit of the AFM Telethon in Bagnols-sur-Cèze begin this Thursday, December 5. At the national level, the event had been brought forward to the weekend of November 29, because of the inauguration of Notre-Dame-de-Paris on Saturday, December 7, but “for logistical and organizational reasons“, the City of Bagnols-sur-Cèze decided to keep the initial date. “We hope that people will be receptive and get involved in the activities”, pspecifies Marie-Claude Frontraille, head of the senior space.
The table tennis club (BMSTT) had anticipated and organized an interclub tournament on November 18. This week, it is the BTP association of Gard rhodanien that is launching the salvo of events with its traditional tea dance on Thursday, December 5 at 2 p.m. in the multicultural room (participation: 5 euros). On Friday, December 5, users of the senior space will hold a stand selling Christmas decorations between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. in the Intermarché gallery.

This year, the Bagnolse program is highlighting walking. On Saturday, December 7, the Accueil des villes françaises (AVF) is organizing two excursions: a 12 km hike to the Saint-Pierre-de-Castres chapel, then a second, shorter one (8 km) to Bourdilhan. These walks, classified as “easy”, will depart from the multicultural hall at 8:30 a.m. (registration: €5). “Walking for the Telethon is symbolically very important because we do it for adults and children who can no longer,” says Michèle Fond-Thurial, deputy delegate for health. Even if there is a mistral, you have to make this effort. It is also an opportunity to fund research.”
A third 12 km excursion is scheduled for Sunday, December 8, leaving from the Saint-Gilles islet at 9:45 a.m., heading towards Saint-Martin-de-Jussan de Tresques (registration: 5 euros).
Rocket making and self-defense initiation
Saturday, December 7, still at the multicultural hall, there will be a free initiation offered by the Bridge club at 10 a.m. At 11 a.m., the dancers of LNB Studio will share their talents. A meal is planned (22 euros, reservation at the AVF premises tomorrow afternoon). Also on Saturday, the Boxe culture bagnolaise association is offering a self-defense initiation for all audiences on Saturday at 2 p.m., then another dedicated to people with disabilities at 3 p.m. (price: €2 per group), at the Saint-Exupéry hall. The radio modeling association is offering the making of compressed air rockets in front of La Poste, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (participation: €2). In the evening, there will be a dance at the multicultural hall from 9 p.m. (12 euros).
