SUMMARY:Indoor Picnic with Theme
DESCRIPTION:This week we are having an indoor picnic –  with a little bit of a theme.  Although we ask people to bring their own food and drinks\, it will be interesting to see if each COPSE Member can select “picnic basket” contents that will reflect an area they have come from\, visited or from where they particularly enjoy the cuisine.  Hence\, the theme of our picnic is “International” or “Home & Away”.   \nThe idea is not for people to supply sufficient to feed everyone else in the room but\, if inclined\, perhaps have some spare little “tasters” for anyone showing particular interest.  Perhaps some of you might like to decorate your own eating space with the colours of a different area of the British Isles –  or of a more far-flung cultural region/  background/nation. \nFrom Cornish pasties to Welsh cakes or Scotch eggs; from Yorkshire pudding (cold?!) to a pot of Scouse; from a worldwide range of cheeses to tortillas or tacos\, the choice and contributions will come from you.\nAlso\, I believe there is still some Nigerian Guinness to wash it all down – although you can add your own choice of drinks\, of course. \nTime to eat and time to socialise – a pleasant Club Night in prospect.

SUMMARY:Game Night: Reminiscing
DESCRIPTION:Look\, I know it’s the absolutely last\, final and climactic episode of a certain tv show\, in which all will be finally revealed about Walter\, Jimmy\, Jesse\, Gus\, Kim (oh Kim!) and everyone else. But seriously\, you already know that everyone meets a horrible messy end\, it will still be there on Wednesday\, and you can catch it on Netflix for the next 30 years\, along with all that other stuff you were always going to watch one day*. \nNo\, what you need to do is turn up on Tuesday evening on our return to the Hall for a fascinating evening of Linda’s devising. It’s a Games evening focused on the only thing some of us are still capable of doing . . . \nReminiscing\nBring along nothing but your memories of jumpers for goalposts\, rationing\, manning the trenches\, sharing chewing gum\, bathing once a week in coal dust and – the ultimate deprivation – only one TV channel. Check here for inspiration. \nI’ll see you there! \n  \n  \n*Memo to self\, Wednesday: cancel Netflix!

SUMMARY:Conan Doyle talk by Bernard Winchester
DESCRIPTION:“COPSE. Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient\, come all the same.”†\nThis Tuesday Club Night we have a special presentation from Bernard Winchester\, whom you may have seen occasionally at the club. He is a member of the Norwood Society and an experienced and enlightening speaker. \nCome along to hear him on “Conan Doyle – the South Norwood Years”.  Doyle lived in Tennison Road\, South Norwood\, from 1891 to 1894.  This illustrated talk looks\, with some humour\, at his life\, works and surroundings during this period\, and concludes that it was also a crucial time in the career of Sherlock Holmes. \n\n\n\n\nWe expect this special event to be popular\, so please arrive promptly for an 8.30 start.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n† As Holmes (almost) said in The Creeping Man

SUMMARY:Travel Treasures - Members' Recommendations
DESCRIPTION:Some advance notice\, as your preparation and involvement is key to the success of the evening. \nCOPSErs are\, of course\, renowned globaltrotters\, and here’s your chance to share your vast experience with the rest of us. \n \nNext Tuesday club Night (20th September) is an evening of Travel Treasures. Melanie will coordinate your contributions\, but it’s essential that you get them to her in advance so she can put them together. \nIn her own words: \nNext week’s evening is designed for audience participation. \nI’d like people to stand up and talk about their super secret or amazingly fabulous travel recommendations\, whether that is an experience\, a hotel\, a restaurant\, a tourist attraction or something else. \nI’m looking for something you would definitely recommend onwards . \nFor ease of presentation on the evening\, my suggestion is that you send me the website link if there is one plus a couple of pictures (if you have them)  and a couple of words and I’ll put them together in one pdf file\, ready to be presented on the evening. \nMy ideas is that the individual will stand up on the night and tell us in 5 minutes or so a little bit about their recommendation. \nAt the end of the evening we should all have some fabulous ideas of places to visit or experiences to try out. \nI’m happy for these suggestions to be in London or anywhere else in the world. \nSurprise us – and make us all yearn to visit. \nWe NEED them passed on to me in advance so that the evening is a success. \n\nI’m expecting big support for Melanie’s initiative!

SUMMARY:First Aid and Safety with Red Cross Trainer
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nAs a follow-on from our recent past attention to the safety arrangements for our Club activities\, e.g. a review of “Guidance for Walkers / Leaders” and advice on rucksack contents for emergencies etc.\, we shall be welcoming a First Aid Instructor this Tuesday.  Although a few years back we have had sessions from instructors able to join us in person\, this time the information will be via Zoom\, involving a Red Cross trainer very familiar with digital presentations. \nSome of us may already have good First Aid knowledge\, some of us may have very little.  Even those with the former can benefit from refreshing their skills and we can all be attentive to what might provide important help to our fellow COPSE Members in future circumstances. \nThere should be opportunities for questions and answers as the session progresses.  Do bring a pen and paper\, if you think noting down some facts would be useful to you. \nPlease arrive for teas and coffees at 8.15pm so that we can open our Red Cross Zoom at 8.30pm.

SUMMARY:Women Spitfire Pilots - talk by Clare Walker
DESCRIPTION:During World War II\, 164 women flew as pilots in the Air Transport Auxiliary\,\nplaying their part in the delivery of 308\,000 aircraft. They flew in wartime\nconditions\, in all weathers and many times without ever having flown a\nparticular aircraft type before. It cost 14 of them their lives. \nAfter the war\, they became known as ‘The Forgotten Pilots’ and were expected to\nquietly return to civilian life. But as their numbers have dwindled to just a few\,\ntheir remarkable achievements have once again brought them back into the\nspotlight. \nClare Walker is passionate about keeping these amazing women pilots alive in\nthe public memory. Her illustrated talk includes video footage\, as well as\nphotographs from the archives of the Air Transport Auxiliary Association’s files\,\nincluding those in the collection of ATA founder and commandant\, Gerard\nd’Erlanger. \nVisit her website for more details of her work.

SUMMARY:Let's Decorate - in the Warm!
DESCRIPTION:You may have noticed that the thermometer has taken a downward turn lately\, and the Hall is as much affected as anywhere else. So this week\, and possibly next week’s party too\, we’re going to use the back room\, where the radiators actually belt out some heat. \nCheaper than staying at home – and possibly warmer! \nAs you’re all aware\, Olga will help you find your inner creative genius to make decorations for Christmas – for the Hall or to take home\, you choose. \nBy agreement with the Church\, we can make our mark on the Hall and leave it in place for next week’s party. Olga has provided a list of things you might want to bring along\, below; I’d like to add streamers\, strings of LED lights and anything else that will make the place festive. \nHere’s Olga’s list: \nI will provide the paper but please bring along the following if you can: \nPAIR OF SCISSORS \nGLUE \nSELLO TAPE \nSTRINGS OF ANY SORT \nCOLOURS OR FELT PENS  \nHOLE PUNCHER \nPICTURES (or cutting from magazines) of Xmas theme. \nAnd any other thing you may already have that may be useful for decorations.  \n\nShould be a fun evening!

SUMMARY:Xmas Party
DESCRIPTION:  \nFood\, drink\, games\, music\, general jollity \nUpdate 15th December\nChristmas Party Night\, 20th December\, is taking shape\, and you have a part to play\, so before I send out the full details here’s an early warning of your part in proceedings: \n\nNobody’s washing up\, so you need to bring your own supplies of eating and drinking equipment – and take it away afterwards. Plate\, knife\, fork\, glass\, mug . . .\nHot food will be laid on\, but we’d love to see some tarts\, pies etc. Show off either your baking skills or your purchasing power. We aim for many people bringing modest amounts – you don’t need to feed the whole party.\nBooze and soft drinks: BYOB is the watchword. We’ll supplement your offerings with our remaining supplies of beer*\, Coke and Fanta\, and we will lay on a little wine\, but if you have a particular preference then please bring it along.\nSecret Santa: please read Ireen’s email on this (below) – you have all weekend to cruise the markets and malls!\nWear something festive\, and above all enjoy the evening!\n\n* mostly the dozen bottles of African stuff left over from Lynn and Kayode’s presentation in June – sorry\, the really nice Nigerian Guinness all went . \nFull programme to follow. \n  \n\nIreen’s Secret Santa email\nDifferent COPSErs will be adding to different parts of the party.  The following might be something some of you would like to be involved in. \nWe’ve had “Secret Santa” pressies in the past but some folk prefer not to have individuals’ names to be bought for.  Consequently\, if you would like to gain a surprise gift this year\, simply buy something that you think would suit anyone of your gender.  (I hope that doesn’t add complications!)  If you are a man\, buy for a man\, if you are a woman\, buy for a woman.  The suggestion is to purchase anything that might be nice for someone else in said category to receive but costing only £3 to £5.  Bring the wrapped pressie\, pass it to me and you will be given a ticket to show you are “in” the process and “Mother Christmas” will give you something else in return\, during the evening.  (Do please get in touch\, if I have failed to clearly convey the idea!) \nHappy times ahead – party on! \nRegards\, \nIreen Best

SUMMARY:Shelterbox Auction
DESCRIPTION:Usually involving a few laughs\, we spend our first Club Night of the New Year setting out to raise whatever funds we can for our Club charity\, “ShelterBox”.  (Another moment of fame\, via the photos below\, for “Tiger Tim” and “Camisole Chris”!)  Each year\, we have managed to send a good sum of ££s to aid those who need a specific help that is appropriate to COPSE and the “outdoor” part of our title.   \nFor our newer members\, I offer the simple statement that our longer-standing members are familiar with: many in our Club enjoy warm-season camping for leisure and pleasure.  ShelterBox provides survival equipment for those who might need to camp simply to stay alive – sometimes in very challenging conditions.   \nTo raise the ££s\, you good folk donate unwanted Xmas pressies or other surplus items to be generously bid for and given new\, loving homes by others attending the evening.  Our fundraising takes the form of a “Mystery Auction”\, with COPSErs taking a gamble on receiving a useful or attractive prize\, as they try to outbid fellow members.  All gifts are pre-wrapped and the contents unknown.  \nIf you have not been able to pre-wrap\, there will be some paper at the hall that can be used but please arrive especially early\, if you need to do this.  \nUnderstandably\, many Club members make individual decisions throughout any year about their personal donations to different charities.  For this annual Club effort\, click on the green box above for fuller info on how that big green box assists those in dire straits or check via  this link \nThe following is also a reminder of why COPSE has continued to help: \n“Everyone deserves a place to call home. It is a human right and the first step towards recovery after disaster.\nShelter is so much more than just a roof. It’s the foundation for life\, families and communities. It is a place to feel safe after days or weeks of fear. It offers protection from harsh weather\, privacy\, and helps to preserve dignity. It’s a space to heal from trauma.  Recovery doesn’t happen overnight but a dry and warm place to sleep\, prepare meals and be with your family is the vital first step.”\nPlease remember to bring your bulging wallets or purses – although I.O.U.s will be accepted!  (Of course\, cash donations also welcomed from any people unable to come along.)
