The opportunity for everyone who went to tell their story of what they did and what they saw, where they stayed, what they ate, and their favorite experiences.

Please have a look at these - and then read on! As our COPSE Auditor, John Diamond, has quite rightly picked up in our Club accounts of recent years, we have a "Small Hostels Fund" that has […]

As many Copsers will be in Ireland (albeit returning on the Saturday) suggestions were sought at an earlier planning meeting for something to keep those of us not going to Ireland occupied the weekend 6th-8th June.
