SUMMARY:Tony Rowland's Life in Funerals
DESCRIPTION:Here’s Tony\, still engaged in the family funeral business that bears his name – and in his many other interests – despite officially retiring a while ago. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTony is back this week\, by popular demand\, after being thwarted by technical issues on his last visit a couple of years ago\, though he did valiantly carry on without benefit of visuals – the culpa is entirely mea. This time nothing can possibly go wrong 🤞\, so we’ll have the whole package of his surprising and entertaining take on seeing us out of this world.

SUMMARY:Art Evening - 8.15 start!
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPlease note that we’ll start earlier than usual\, at 8.15\, to give enough time to complete our masterpieces. \nWith the expert guidance of Teresa\, we’ll be flexing our artistic muscles again to make collaged Xmas cards and origami. \nMaterials will be provided\, but you can also incorporate existing stuff. Bring scissors if you have them. As Teresa appealed: \nDo any of you have CHRISTMAS CARDS\, OLD MAGAZINES in COLOUR\, WRAPPING PAPER any kind?  That you are happy to donate towards the Art Evening on December 9th?  If so please bring along to the Club or drop off at my place.  Address on request.   \nThanks Teresa

SUMMARY:ShelterBox "Mystery Auction"
DESCRIPTION:Happy New Year! You are invited to warm up at our now toasty Hall. \nThe occasion is\, of course\, our annual Mystery Auction\, where we have some fun raising cash for our pet charity\, Shelterbox. \n\n\n\n\nIf you’re not familiar with Shelterbox have a look at their website\, https://shelterbox.org/.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nWhat you can do is to \n\nwrap up your goods (unwanted and/or valuable)\n\nand/or \n\nturn up\, enjoy the banter\, and above all place your bids for the mystery parcels.\n\n  \nDon’t worry if you can’t contribute items\, just come along and enjoy the evening. \nFor the uninitiated\, here are Ireen’s words of explanation from her email: \nDear All\, \nI hope 2026 is off to a good start for everyone – and you are each feeling “resolute”!  No\, I’m not referring to all the personal resolutions (which might already have been broken?!) but to our Club one that we make this annual effort to gather enough funds for a whole “ShelterBox box”. \nFor our “Mystery Auction”\, please spend a few mins in advance\, wrapping your duplicated or unloved objects (rapping\, as you do so\, is optional!) and pass them to me from 8.15pm on Tuesday.  Household / kitchen appliances in good condition – (perhaps never used\, even if intentions were good!) could also be rehomed.  IF there is a content of particularly high value\, you can add a label with a reserve or start price on – likewise\, if the item is only suitable for a male or female recipient.  However\, part of the fun is sometimes when bids disregard the latter\, e.g.\, when Chris T. became the new owner of a lovely\, silky camisole!  (He happily gifted this to a female friend!!) \nWrapping paper need not be new – any kept from opening your own received presents\, be they Xmas\, birthday etc. will be good.  If you have some items to donate but cannot manage to come along in person\, please let me know and I hope I can help by collecting beforehand. \nRe my title\, “Lightening Your Load”: bulging wallets and purses can be brought through the door and you can benefit by carrying them away with far less weight in them!  Also\, please remember that our 2025 techy advance gave us a card machine\, although chequebooks could still be brought!  Once again\, Treasurer Bob will kindly be managing the finance for the evening. \nN.B. If the attached table is of interest\, I am taking emailed or telephoned bids\, as well as on the night\, and can collect from its donor and deliver to you in the near future.  The table is good and sturdy and a size that will very comfortably seat four people.  Please contact me with your offers! \nWidth: 46¼”  (117.5cm)  X  Depth: 31½”  (80cm)  X  Height: 29”  (74cm) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nI close with another good wish for everyone to have as good a 2026 as they possibly can – and with a quote from the ShelterBox website: \nEMERGENCY DISASTER RELIEF Families are facing a bitter winter in make shift shelters\, struggling to survive:\nSupporting communities in crisis \n\nRight now\, over 120 million people around the world have been made homeless by disaster and conflict. ShelterBox is working to change this. \nBy providing emergency shelter and tools for families robbed of their homes by disaster\, we’re transforming despair into hope. \nWe want to see a world where no family is left without shelter after disaster. Join us. \nRegards\, \nIreen Best (079868 035522)

SUMMARY:A Right Old "Knees-Up"
DESCRIPTION:A change from the announced visit to Cryer Arts – it turns out that they don’t have their first-Tuesday-of-the-month folk session in January. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFollowing a quirky and interesting recent Club visit to a different kingdom (please read your latest “Viewpoint”!)\, Valerie and I hope you can now please join us for an informative and varied evening at our hall that stems from that.  There will be a little bit of history\, some music\, a bit of a quiz – and a special guest!  There will even be a “reference sheet” to take away! \n  \n8.15pm for teas and coffees (with the kitchen closing at 8.30pm).

SUMMARY:Burns Night
DESCRIPTION:The Programme:\n\nPlease note we’ll be taking £3 at the door to cover costs for this evening – a bargain any Scot would be proud to claim! \nFair fa’ your honest\, sonsie face\nWe didn’t argue with that sentiment in previous years\, 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. \nNote that we’ll be providing\, as well as full-fat leaded haggis\, vegetarian\, gluten free and gluten free vegetarian variations. Please let Ken know if your tastes run to any of these so we can get the numbers right. \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 William Colette. 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? \nLooking forward to that haggis already. No\, don’t ask me what’s in it! \n(I know\, all shamelessly pasted in from previous web pages pasted in from the previous year’s email. Life’s still too short . . . )

SUMMARY:Builders Arms Quiz
DESCRIPTION:Well\, we shall try to grab it!  Yet again\, non-skiing COPSErs will be attempting to wrestle the prize (sometimes a fairly substantial pot of ££s) away from the regular teams competing at the “Builders Arms” Quiz Night.*   \nI have reserved three tables of six for our Members.  The quiz will cost £1pp (cash) and now begins a half hour earlier\, i.e. at 8.30pm.  We can arrive from 6.30pm to order food and socialize before the brain strain begins. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n65 Leslie Park Road\, Croydon\, Surrey\, CR0 6TP \nhttps://buildersarmscroydon.co.uk/eat-drink-1b \n*  N.B. On previous visits\, one of our teams did achieve second place! \nIf you would like to be among those of us exercising our grey matter this time\, please let me know.  \n  \nRegards\, \n  \nIreen Best (07968 035522) \n

SUMMARY:Fun at The Manor
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\nHear about the highlights of our trip to Okehampton\, and a chance to tell your own tale of the goings-on.\nIt’s also a bit of a taster for our return trip in September!\n\n\n\n\n  \nFollowing several folk asking me what “Fun at the Manor” means\, it will be an illustrated explanation from some of us who enjoyed over five very full days at a Devon activity centre\, last September.  Do try to come along to learn what happened\, what the participating COPSErs thought about it – and what the options will be for our 2026 visit there.  Perhaps check your diaries now to pencil in 13th to 18th September.  This Tuesday evening might tempt you to be among our next group of “Lords and Ladies” of The Manor! \nRegards\, \nIreen Best (07968 035522) \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pancakes and . . .
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 \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

DESCRIPTION:  \nWe again consult our oenological guru Alan\, who I expect to be dazzling us with a variety of wines\, some of which will\, by way of a change and a challenge\, emerge from boxes.\nMake sure you’re present at the 8.30 kickoff so as not to miss any of the wines or nibbles.\nNote that £3 will be extracted from drinkers.

SUMMARY:Croydon High Street\, Part 2 with Carole Roberts
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nHere’s local historian Carole on a previous visit. You’ll remember how enthusiastically we responded to her wonderfully researched and presented talks on the Davis Theatre and the Grand Theatre. Carole gave us a fascinating Part 1 of her Croydon High Street story last October. She has spent long hours in the Croydon archives digging up little-known facts\, and her research certainly paid off with a series of “Ooh\, I didn’t know that” moments. \nWe found out that\, long before a disgruntled elephant trashed the place (you had to be there)\, the High Street may have been a Roman road and was certainly a bridleway by the Midde Ages. We discovered the origin of “North End” and “South End” – which certainly caused confusion in the 19th century and still does for some. We viewed the first(?) map of Croydon\, from 1785 – in French\, by a Frenchman. We tracked the rise and fall of the many watering holes\, some of which continue to grace the area – the Ship has been there since 1835. \nNow Carole’s back with Part 2\, starting where Part 1 left off in 1901. \nA must see event for our Club! \n
