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:Tai Chi with Richard Pearce
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nTai chi\, as I’m sure you know\, is an internal Chinese martial art\, now much practised here for its health and fitness benefits – low impact exercise relieving stress on the body and mind. \nBob Gilly is an adherent\, and we’ve persuaded his teacher\, Richard Pearce\, to come along this Tuesday evening to enlighten us all. He will explain its history and background\, give a demonstration\, and invite our boldest to give it a try. \nNo special clothing required to take part\, but high heels are best avoided. \nCome along\, you could find a new enthusiasm in your life!

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.)

SUMMARY:Outing: Tenpin Bowling at Valley Park
DESCRIPTION:We’re Going Bowling Again\nBack by popular demand! A party of COPSE’s finest athletes enjoyed this outing last year\, so we’re doing it again.\nI’ll book (and pay for) as many lanes as we have players for\, maximum six to a lane.\n\nBut how do I sign up for this event?\n… you may ask. Well\, here’s the answer: \n \n  \nSeveral people subscribed on Tuesday at the Hall. If you didn’t\, I’ll take emails\, text messages\, Whatsapps\, even old fashioned phone calls. \n\n. . . . and how do I pay?\nBy signing up you commit to paying me the outrageously reasonable sum of £7.45. Averse as I am to handling change\, I prefer direct payments to my bank\, the sooner the better. Ask me for how. \n\nThe Details\nYou can\, of course\, just turn up to enjoy the social setting and company of your fellow COPSErs for no charge. \nIf you don’t know the place\, the Tenpin Bowl offers a variety of activities besides bowling – table tennis\, pool\, arcade games plus café and bar – so you can diversify once there. Also\, for eating\, there are various fooderies around including Creams Café\, Frankie & Bennie’s\, Chiquito\, McDonalds and Burger King. \n\nIn summary:\n\n\n\n\nWhere?\n\nTenpin\nValley Park Leisure Complex\nHesterman Way\nCroydon CR0 4YA\n\n\n\nWhen?\n\nLanes will be booked for 8.30. Arrive between 8.00 and  8.15 to be ready to play.\n\n\n\nGetting there?\n\nTram: Ampere Way (9 minute walk\, says Google)\nBuses: \n455 to Franklin Way / Valley Park (8 minute walk) \n189 to Purley Way / Newman Road (12 minute walk) \nAlternatively\, plenty of car parking.\n\n\n\nHow much?\n\n£7.45 up front for two games\, more on the night if you want to play more\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nShoe Policy\nI’ve confirmed that\, as last time\, you can play in your own shoes\, but please make sure they’re trainers or otherwise flat-soled. As far as I know there are no shoes available on site.

SUMMARY:Burns Night
DESCRIPTION:Fair fa’ your honest\, sonsie face\nWe didn’t argue with that sentiment last year\, and everyone had such a good time that we’re doing it again. \nIf you have yet to be convinced of haggis’s virtues (or even if you have been)\, roll up on Tuesday evening for a treat of said puddin’\, with its traditional embellishments of bashed neeps\, mashed spuds\, and whatever trimmings we can muster. There will even be a dram in it for those keen on the true Caledonian experience\, along with the joyful skirl provided by our in-house piper and traditional poetry read in excruciatingly inaccurate Scottish accents. \nPlease note that\, due to government restrictions\, we will be using only left-handed specimens\, humanely caught by burly\, kilted highlanders using extra strong butterfly nets. \nBut\n(I hear you ask) \nwhat’s my part in all this magnificence?\nWell\, there are a few things you should be aware of . . . . \n1. In the interests of simplicity and getting home before dawn\, we’re not washing up! Bring your own plate\, glass and cutlery\, and take them home at the end of the evening. \n2. Drink provided is limited to Scotch and Highland Water for the toasts – in addition\, of course\, to the regular tea & coffee service graciously provided by Olga. If your tastes veer in other directions\, please feel free to bring your own choice of tipple. \n3. For the furtherance of jollity and the spirit of the evening\, any vaguely Scottish apparel is encouraged. If you can’t stretch to a kilt\, how about tartan socks or a Hamilton Accies away strip? \nAnd a special request: if you’re coming along and you’re of a vegetarian persuasion\, please let Ken know quickly so that your needs can be accommodated. \nLooking forward to that haggis already. No\, don’t ask me what’s in it! \n(I know\, all shamelessly pasted in from last year’s email. Life’s too short . . . )

DESCRIPTION:  \nAfter the big success of last year’s Wine Tasting\, we’re doing it again this week. \nCome along and show off your nose\, your palate\, or any acceptable body part. There’ll be special selections from Croydon’s finest wine merchants  – OK\, supermarkets – served in real glasses and accompanied by outstanding cheeses and carefully selected biscuits\, including a gluten-free option. \nPlease note a few special messages\, lazily copied in from last year: \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nThere’s £2 charge for the wine and comestibles\nIf you’re swerving alcohol please come along anyway. You can get away with a token contribution for the food. Feel free to bring your soft drink of choice.\nWe’re starting at 8.30 sharp! I’m not saying the wine will be gone by 8.45\, but I have seen some COPSErs in action at the pub . . .\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nCheers! \n

SUMMARY:Pancakes - Tossers and Flippers Night
DESCRIPTION:The time for tossing and turning has again come around.  This is not a reference to restless sleep but a reminder that the COPSE Pancake Night will be this week!  A flipping good time can be had. \nPlease provide your own batter – prepared at home or at the hall\, if you wish – plus the accompanying ingredients .  We do need to have some extra cooking appliances\, if possible\, so please bring any camping stoves or portable electric hobs you may own\, along with frypans\, spatulas\, plates and cutlery.  (As with our recent Burns Night feast\, clearing away is so aided if COPSErs can pop their own used items into a bag to take back home for cleaning.) \nDuring the evening\, indulge yourselves with self-made food – and become creative by experimenting with a variety of fillings.  Think of it\, concoct it and perhaps tempt other brave people to try your results!  Below are some of both savoury and sweet efforts from past years. \nSavoury \nMushrooms with garlic\, onions\, mixed herbs and cream \nGrated mature Cheddar cheese with optional pickle \nBlue cheese (“upmanship”!) with sun-dried tomatoes \nSardines \n\nSweet \nMaltesers \nNutella chocolate spread \nChristmas pudding with crème fraîche (over ten months to replace the pud!) \nLemon curd sprinkled with ground ginger \nA slight spread of butter\, drizzled over by various flavoured coffee syrups \n… and\, of course\, the traditional fresh lemon juice and sugar! \n  \nAs well as devouring our pancakes\, we may once more have a tossing contest for anyone who wishes to take part. \nCome to beat and eat\, chew and chat.  Shrove Tuesday usually proves to be a pleasantly sociable Club Night. \n
