Derek the FOPS webmaster (post prostate cancer) now lives in Cyprus and supports a local cancer association through which he has publicised the FOPS and made it known that he is always there for support if anyone needs to discuss their prostate cancer issues.

So the FOPS reach extends to SUNNY CYPRUS where as you have no doubt heard: the banks have been/are in trouble, property prices are going down and all kinds of problems exist - in fact who would want to live in Cyprus now?!!!.

WELL - Needless to say us Brits (and other non Cypriots) have to make the best of it, what with all this sunshine and the fabulous social life that we just have to create to get by in these troubled times.

Derek formed a group called Kamares Entertainments (Kamares is a village above Paphos near where he lives in Tala) a while ago to put on entertainment events for the local community and raise money for the charity at some of our functions.

For example we had a "Caribbean Boogie" Night at the local Kamares Club so Derek thought he would put a few piccies below to show what a bad time we are having. Derek also has a part share, with a close friend of his, in a rescue dog called Timi (Timi was rescued in a village called Timi near Paphos airport) so Timi is also featured just after he was rescued
