SUMMARY:Trip to Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Update 29th May\nNearly time to go! We currently have 14 intrepid travellers who have booked travel and accommodation. Some are going by train\, some flying from either Gatwick or London City\, and several different places to stay have been booked. \nYou can join us right up to the last minute if you can get the bookings – let me know if you have a sudden craving for currywurst in its native habitat and I can let you know everybody’s plans. \nKen \n\nHere’s a date for your diary: \nWe’re going to Berlin!\nIreen and I are going for a week\, travelling out on Thursday 6th June and back on Thursday 13th. Please join us for all or part of that time. \nWhy Berlin?\nBerlin is a fascinating city and well worth your time. There’s plenty to see and do – historic sites\, museums\, art galleries\, boat trips\, and\, of course\, tremendous nightlife for us youngsters. Not to mention the currywurst. Public transport is excellent and cheap\, though it’s also very walkable and even cyclable\, being mostly flat. \nThere will be a mixture of group\, small group and individual activities\, to be driven by the interests of those going. \nTravel\nAt this point the only arrangement made is our travel. We’re going by train\, which turns out to be one of the more expensive options – Eurostar St Pancras-Brussels\, then Brussels-Cologne-Berlin. Other travel options include bus and plane –  a good reference for travel options is Rome2Rio. As far as my research goes\, weekend travel is the most expensive\, while Thursday less so. \nAccommodation\nTo be arranged. \nIreen and I have made our own arrangements\, with my sister who lives there – very centrally\, near the Cathedral. For the rest of you\, there are many hostels to choose from\, and of course hotels\, AirBnB etc to consider. \nWhat Now?\nPlease let me know if you’re interested in this trip so we can gauge the demand for accommodation etc. More plans will be made! \n  \nKen

SUMMARY:Woolwich Dockyards Walk
DESCRIPTION:I will be leading a walk on Sunday 16th June to Woolwich Dockyard. \nWe will meet at East Croydon station at 9.50 to catch the 10:03 East Croydon (platform 4) Thameslink towards Bedford which arrives 10:20 London Bridge. Then we catch the 10:31 from London Bridge (platform 1) to Woolwich Dockyard arriving at 10.50. \nIf you wish to meet at London Bridge or Woolwich Dockyard please let me know. \nI aim that we visit both Woolwich Dockyard and the Woolwich Arsenal during the walk which will take around 4 hours and about 8 km (5 miles). \nIt will be along paved areas and through parks so light walking shoes are fine. \nFor added excitement I am planning that we sail on the Woolwich Ferry to North Woolwich and return via the foot tunnel. \nWe will end up at the Great Harry\, the Wetherspoons pub in Woolwich\, for a late lunch at about 3 pm -so you might like to bring a sandwich to keep you going. \nWe will return from Woolwich Arsenal station to London Bridge\, and then to East Croydon station. \nLet me know if you are going to come along and look forward to seeing you on Sunday 16th! \nCheers \nAndy Thompson \n07751182930 \n

SUMMARY:Local Restaurant Evening Meal
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, 27th June.\nTime: 7.00pm.\nVenue: “Noto” (previously known as “Aqua”)\, 33 – 35 South End.\n(Walking towards Croydon from our old watering hole\, “The Skylark”\, the restaurant is just a little further along\, on the right.)\nCuisine: “Mediterranean”\, with a bias to Greek and Italian.  A new menu will be in place prior to our visit but the variety should be similar to the present one.\n\nI am told several COPSE Members have happily eaten there in the past.  I was there recently with a friend.  Food was good and service was friendly and efficient.  We shall have a separate room for our use and I hope to have the tables arranged conference-style (depending on our numbers) so that we are not just in a long straight line.\n\nPlease let me know\, if you would like to go on the dining list.\n\nRegards\,\n\nIreen Best (07968 035522)
