SUMMARY:Stanley Halls Ceilidh - a Chance to Dance!
DESCRIPTION:A good number of COPSErs regularly enjoyed these monthly sessions\, prior to lockdown.  If you look carefully at the photo below\, you may spot a couple of our Members enjoying themselves. \nTake your feet for a treat – my term for these traditional dances is “exercise with a smile on your face”! \n \nPrices:  We can gain a good price of £9 per person\, if we pre-book at least ten tickets.  (Normal advance adult tickets are £12\, on-the-door £15.)  Please come back to me\, as soon as possible\, if you’re able to join us on Friday.  I shall pay for the group’s tickets and you can settle with me on the evening.  (Obviously\, you need to be definite about coming to be included in this discounted price.) \nIf you have not been to a ceilidh/barn dance before\, do not fear; all the sequences of movements are explained by a “caller” and we usually have a very good time. \nThe Halls have a bar.  Parking is free in the area.  Public transport options are: \nBuses: Routes 196 and 410 stop directly outside of Stanley Arts. \nRoutes 75\, 157\, 197 and 312 stop within a few minutes’ walk. \nTrains: Stanley Arts is just a five minute walk from Norwood Junction station. \nDo come back to me with any queries. \nIreen Best 07968 035522 \n\nIn Stanley Arts’ own words: \nCome one\, come all for a night of dancing and merriment just like the good old days! \nBack in November 2019\, when no one knew the word “Covid”\, The Conquering Heroes played a ceilidh (traditional dance) at Stanley Halls and an amazing time was had by all. Now you – yes you! – can join us for such a night once again! \nCame last time? Relive the glory days of pre-pandemic life!  Missed out on the fun last time around? Don’t miss out again! Never heard of a ceilidh? Worried that you won’t know what do to? Think you are a terrible dancer? Have no fear! Our experienced callers will teach you the steps to some of the world’s favourite group and partner dances.

DESCRIPTION:What is it?\nA walk around some Farleigh greenery – woods and fields\, mostly on footpaths. Boots needed if it’s wet. \n\n\n\n\n	WhenSaturday 26th August\, 11.00am\n\n\n	WhereSelsdon Woods Car Park\n\n\n	Distance7 miles\n\n\n	TerrainFootpaths\, a couple of small hills\n\n\n	FinishBack at Selsdon Woods Car Park from 4pm\n\n\n	ContactKen on 07921 258876\n\n\n\n\nGetting there\nThe car park is small and fills up on good weather days\, so public transport is probably a better option. \nBus 433 stops close by\, running between central Croydon (stopping at East Croydon) and New Addington . It leaves Fairfield Halls (stop KC\, outside Nestle / Gas Board buildings) at 10.00\, 10.15\, 10.30 and 10.45 and takes\, allegedly\, 21 minutes. So best catch the 10.30 bus or earlier. \n \nGet off at the Dove Close stop on Sandpiper Road\, and walk 100 yards or so down Old Farleigh Road to the entrance to the Woods. \n \n  \nHere are links to the full 433 route details and timetable. \nThere is also a bus 409 that runs about once an hour between Selsdon and East Grinstead  – I’ll let you work out if it’s any use\, the timetable is here. \nRefreshments?\nYes\, a lunch/snack stop at The Harrow is on the cards.

SUMMARY:Visit to Bhaktivedanta Manor
DESCRIPTION:Meet at East Croydon by 09:50 for the 10:03 train \nBack in the 70’s George Harrison bought the Hare Krishna movement a manor house in Hertfordshire. 50 years later it’s still going strong. \nVisitors are welcome\, and there are lots of activities. \nYou don’t need to join their cult to enjoy the visit\, just tell them you are already in COPSE. There is no entrance fee\, but it would be fair for us to all make a donation. \nWe have an offer from them to open their old gate in the village\, which is usually locked\, to let us in on foot. We could get our own monk to open the magic door to let us in like VIPs (Very Important Pilgrims). This might or might not happen. If not we can walk down to the main entrance by Holland Farm\, as shows on the map below. \nThey offer free food\, but it might still be a good idea to bring snacks and drinks. \nThe network of many footpaths would allow us to take an alternative route back to the station. Also we could continue West to return by Watford Junction.

SUMMARY:Walk and Picnic at Harrison Rocks
DESCRIPTION:A bright eyed Viewpoint reader has pointed out that the listing in the centre pages of Viewpoint refers to this event as a Climbing activity.\nThis is not a climbing event\, it’s a walk ! There might be some small hills to climb\, but no rock climbing is involved. \nNo special equipment is needed\, apart from the COPSE traditional and optional items of: bobble hat\, hiking boots\, gaiters\, compass\, OS Map\, sandwich\, drink\, rucksack\, anorak\, gloves\, and it’s hard to imagine needing more than sunhat\, shorts and sandals in this heat. \nAssemble at East Croydon by 10 to catch the 10:09 East Grinstead train\, change at Oxted for the Uckfield train. Get a return Ticket to Eridge. \nFirstly\, we will take the train down to Ashurst\, due in at 10:59. From Ashurst station\, we will walk South East\, via Groombridge. Groombridge is a sweet small town/larger village\, with the added bonus of a heritage railway. \nOur “picnic” is towards the end of the walk at Harrisons Rocks\, which are the closest climbing rocks to London\, and very popular. We are not planning any climbing\, and beware that there are vertical drops from the top of the rocks. The idea is to observe the spectacle of the rocks and the climbers\, from the ground. \nFrom the rocks\, it is not far to Eridge station for the train home. \nPath route shown in orange dots on the map. If we want a longer walk there is an option for an extra loop from the Rocks to Eridge\, marked in blue\, to explore more on the way. There are hourly trains at 51 minutes past\, and a convenient pub by the station to wait for the next train\, or the one after. The Huntsman\, open until 6pm.

SUMMARY:Follow Pissaro's steps in Norwood
DESCRIPTION:Camille Pissarro\, father of Impressionism\, lived in Crystal Palace for a year 150 years ago. Let’s look at places he painted back then and see how things have changed. He had family in West Dulwich and West Norwood so we include these places on our tour\n\nSadly there are a lot of rail engineering works next weekend but please bring your travel pass so we can use buses as required.  There is a 468 bus from Croydon South End which passes the Fairfield Hall\, Whitgift Centre and West Croydon stops.\n\nPlease bring water and snacks but we will pass plenty of places to top up on our travels. We’ll also find a pub to end our walk at – details to follow\n\nPS Pissarro married his wife Julie at Croydon Register Office!\n\nIt would be helpful to know if you intend to come along.\n\nIf you want any further information and where to meet contact Julie –  07931533785
