SUMMARY:Desert Island Streams
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nEver dreamed of being cast away with only a copy of Spotify for company? Well tonight we bring that dream perilously close to realisation. \nThis is your chance to inflict your musical taste on your Clubmates\, and have theirs inflicted on you. \nWilliam writes: \nWe have done people’s favorite books\, poetry and objects so on 23 June we are going to try a COPSE version of Desert Island Discs. Should you wish to participate\, you will need to select two of your favorite music pieces. They can be popular\, classical\, jazz or whatever your preference is. The idea is to give a brief talk to explain why you like the particular piece and if it has any personal connection to you before playing it\,  We will stream one piece and if time allows stream both choices. To help with planning the evening\, should you wish to participate please email me with the name of the song(s) music giving the name of the piece and the artist.  \nIt would be helpful if you could confirm your choices on or before Sunday 21 June.  \nTo be clear\, we’ll find videos of the trracks wherever possible\, otherwise it will be the best that Spotify can deliver.

SUMMARY:Croydon Pub Social
DESCRIPTION:Quite a few COPSE members will be away at The Manor this week\, so there WON’T be a club night at the Church Hall tonight. \nConsequently\, for those interested\, I’m organising  a “Central Croydon Pub Crawl” 🍺🍷🍸 🍵\, where the plan is as follows => \n1) from 7pm to 8.30pm (approx) \n“The Spread Eagle” pub in Katherine Street\, and because there’s live football on TV I’ve already booked  two tables (4 + 5) at the back by the window for those wanting a meal. See food options on their website https://whelanspubs.co.uk/whelans-premium/the-spread-eagle/ \n2) from 8.35pm to 9.20pm (approx) \n“The Dog” pub in Surrey Street\, which has now a covered “Wilderness Garden”. You can find food options on their website https://www.thedog.pub/\, and they tell me they serve it until 10pm. \n3) from 9.30pm until later \n“The Royal Standard” pub under the Croydon fly-over in Sheldon Street\, which only serves snacks. \nif you have any queries\, please let me know. \n  \nKeith Southam \nkeithsoutham@yahoo.co.uk \nmobile/ text = 07749 515486

SUMMARY:Manor Crafts and Leftover Currency Launch
DESCRIPTION:Many of the participants in our highly enjoyable group visits to The Manor Resort in Okehampton- whether the one a couple of weeks ago or the one we did last year – were pleased with and proud of their endeavours in the many varieties of craft workshops. \nThis evening event is a chance for them to show off and perhaps explain their achievements\, and for all of us to admire their efforts\, in a relaxed social setting. \nLeftover Currency Launch\nThis evening will also see the launch of our Leftover Currency initative in aid of Mary’s Meals\, the charity who visited us on 25th August and impressed us greatly with their programmes to feed hungry children around the world. \nDo you have unwanted money left over from foreign holidays and gathering dust at home?  Many of us do\, and collectively we can probably realise a decent amount. Make a simple impact on the lives of children by bringing it along to the club to fill our collection box. Obsolete money is also welcome. There’s no need to sort it by country or anything\, just put it in the box. \nIf your collection is too enormous to carry to the Club we can probably arrange pickup – just ask Ken. \nThey will accept: \n\nNotes\nCoins\nForeign or UK\nObsolete\, eg French Francs\, Spanish Pesetas\nOut-of-date UK\, eg large 10p\n\nWe’ll continue collecting until the end of the year\, when hopefully we’ll be able to make a significant donation.
