SUMMARY:BROCKHAM BONFIRE.   Torchlight procession\, bonfire & fireworks
DESCRIPTION:Subject to there being NO TRAIN STRIKE. in the event of a strike\, it is possible a local fireworks maybe arranged.\nThere will be Donation Buckets (Please be as generous as you can) at the Entrance. Donations and carpark are payable in CASH. They are trialling CASHLESS PAYMENTS on the CATERING STALLS AND PIG AUCTION. \nFurther details from Paul:\nThis is no ordinary bonfire etc. They’ve been building the bonfire since September\, and they even have some kind of ceremony with the cinders on the Sunday which I believe involves Morris Dancing?. ..(it’s called Burning the Sticks) \nWell\, I’m not intending staying overnight there\, but – as I only go to this event about eight-yearly – I do intend to do the whole blooming thing\, starting at 6.30pm with the marching band procession leaving Brockham Green at this time – flaming torches will be given out. The procession goes down south to a hamlet (Stroud Green\, I believe) and then back again a different way to Brockham. The huge bonfire will be lit by one of the torches at 7.45pm\, once the Guy effigy has been placed on top. The Fireworks are at 8.15pm\, and\, as I’m not really into roasting pigs\, I’ll hang around a just a bit and then leave. \nYou don’t actually pay an admission fee as the village is open to all\, but there will be donation buckets for your coins or notes. You can also sponsor a firework! Food is sold at stalls and the pub is open\, but quite frankly I never do any of this owing to the queues\, so you could bring your own sustenance along. \nTo get there and back I shall be walking along what’s known as the Old Coach Road from Dorking to the village\, a walk of around 45 mins. One can get to Brockham by car and use a car park\, or one can go by special bonfire bus from Redhill/Reigate or Dorking. Again\, I never do this\, as I don’t drive\, and I’ve heard that the buses get full\, and it’s nice walking back in the dark with the other crowds. \nSo there’s quite a bit of walking involved\, but if anyone wants to try the car or bus option\, or doesn’t want to do the whole thing (i.e.\, just turn up later for the Bonfire & Fireworks) then that’s fine…I’ll leave my phone on loud – keep ringing and ringing! \nMay I suggest you go to the website for the bonfire: www.brockham.org/brockham-bonfire \n…to see all the details of the above. \nI am going whatever the weather\, and may not even look at the forecast! \nI suggest we meet outside Dorking DEEPDENE RAILWAY STATION to leave here on foot BY 5.00pm. I shall come from Epsom Downs\, so I’ll leave you to arrange your own travel. You could come down from West Croydon to Dorking MAIN station and WALK 5 mins around the corner to DEEPDENE station. I see that there are trains from East Croydon to Dorking DEEPDENE\, changing at Redhill at\, 3.36pm and 4.17pm arriving about 37 mins later (there’s a little pub nearby going north under the bridge). (There are more trains back to Croydon from Dorking MAIN station. Get your map out and observe the two Dorking stations we are talking about\, MAIN and DEEPDENE\, which are about five mins walk from each other. I can pop by to MAIN to pick anyone up who is not sure about finding their way to DEEPDENE. I shall be coming to MAIN by train) \nBRING CASH\, CASH\, CASHY McCASH!!!…and don’t wear your best brand new fleece (a COPSEr had their new fleece singed by an ember from the bonfire some years back!) \nAll the above is not as complicated as it may sound…just read it a few times and go to the bonfire website. Any questions\, contact me (NOT by email on the day itself). \nI recall the last time or so we did this bonfire we had a walk along the North Downs BEFOREHAND. We are not going to be that keen this time! But I might go visit the very newly opened Dorking Museum beforehand and cruise the charity shops of Dorking High Street. If anyone else is interested in doing this too\, then contact me. \n…And if anyone knows about the Cinders ceremony on the Sunday\, I MIGHT be up for this as well\, as I’ve never done this before. (Update: he is doing it! see tomorrow’s entry here) It would mean doing the same walk to Brockham again\, maybe back a different way though. \nI expect I’ve forgotten some crucial detail which will come to me while washing up or brushing my teeth tonight\, so look out for follow-ons from this email during the week. \n  \nPaul Newbold\, 07968 223589.

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.

SUMMARY:Carshalton Folk + Walk
DESCRIPTION:Outing: Folk Night at the Cryer Arts Theatre\, + preceded by Wandle Walk\n\nTuesday 11th October @ 3:30 pm to 11:00 pm\n£5 \n\n\n\n  \nThis is another chance to join the very successful outing we had on 12th April\, details here. \nKeith said then\, more or or less: \n1) As you know\, I’m arranging an outdoor COPSE visit to the Cryer Arts Studio In Carshalton High Street on Tuesday11th October for their regular “folk night” (2nd Tuesday of each month) which starts at 7.30pm.\nI’ve been going there for a few months now and have been impressed by not only the “proper” stage\, tables in front (which can be removed for folk/barn dancing)\, the staggered rear seating\, the welcoming bar (open from 4pm + serving a variety of beers\, wines + hot food. \n2) Also\, I’m intending to lead a short three mile walk from Wandle Park tram stop about 3.30pm to Carshalton Ponds(via the River Wandle\, Beddington Park + The Grove) aiming to get to the venue by about 5.30pm for a meal + drinks. \nFeel free to join us for the walk\, the folk night or both.\nPlease book your tickets\, individually or in groups\, at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on?q=cryer-folk.\nAlternatively\, take a chance and turn up on the day.

SUMMARY:Hew Locke exhibition: The Procession
DESCRIPTION:Meet at East Croydon Station at 10.20\, get the 10.30 train to Victoria.\n\nFrom Victoria catch either the 185 or C10 to Pimlico and then a short walk to the Tate.\n\n\nLooking forward to seeing lots of you for this exhibition\, plus other works at Tate Britain.  I suggest the 8 rooms on British Art.  After which we can walk to St James’s Park and through to Green Park for a Picnic.  So please bring your packed lunch.  Any ideas of where to venture from there are warmly welcomed!\n\nThe Procession is an outstanding creation by Hew Locke.  I will forward further detail on the inspiration and background ideas soon.  To have a look yourselves please find information on Artuk.com and on the Tate Britain website.

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

SUMMARY:Croydon Heritage walk in South Norwood
DESCRIPTION:We will explore the social and religious history\, architecture\, religions\, famous people associated with the area eg Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle\, Pissarro and Shirley Bassey\, and it’s industrial past. \n\nThe tour will start and end at Norwood Junction station. We will aim to depart at 2.30 pm. There is a train from East Croydon at 2.15 and one from West Croydon at 2.16.\n\nWe will have a park stop if you want to bring your own refreshments but we pass some cafes also and my house for toilet breaks!

The whole walk will be dog friendly and there is some street parking for drivers. If you need to contact me on the day my number is 07931533785
