SUMMARY:Kent LDWA Challenge Walk Stonegate (15\, 20 or 26 miles)
DESCRIPTION:Would you like the opportunity to challenge yourself in an event similar to the Gatliff Marathon? \nKent Long Distance Walkers Association are holding such an event on Saturday 8th July.  The course options are 26 miles\, 20 miles or 15 miles.  Everything operates in a very similar way to the Gatliff Marathon including the use of written route instructions.   \nEntry fees are: \n\n\n\n \nLDWA Member\nNon Member\n\n\n15 Miles\n£12.00\n£17.00\n\n\n20 Miles\n£9.00\n£14.00\n\n\n26 Miles\n£9.00\n£14.00\n\n\n\n  \nStart: Stonegate Village Hall\, Forge Field\, Stonegate\, TN5 7ED (GR TQ668285) Direct trains from London Bridge to Stonegate Station (1 hour). \nStart: all 26ml at 08:30; all 20ml & 15ml at 10:00. \nEntries close on Sunday 2nd July.  145 people have entered so far (28 June).  Although the website doesn’t state a maximum number of entrants it is a good idea to book ASAP in case they close the list before 2nd July.  I have booked the 15 mile course (I would like to test how the GPX file works as I have volunteered to create one for the Gatliff!). \nThe following link provides further details and online entry: SiEntries – High Weald Walk (26m/20m/15m) \n  \nSandra \n  \nExtract from SI Entries website: \n“Brand new routes\, open to walkers and runners\, primarily on undulating footpaths and lanes\, offering extensive views over the surrounding countryside and a glimpse of the sea! \nThe three routes start at Stonegate Village Hall to head towards Burwash and Punnets town. The 15 miles route then returns to Stonegate. The two other routes continue to the pretty village of Mayfield\, where they diverge. The 20 miles route goes back to Stonegate\, while the 26 miles route visits Wadhurst before returning to the finish. \nFrom Stonegate Village Hall\, Forge Field\, Stonegate\, TN5 7ED (GR TQ668285) – please park in field adjacent to the hall as directed by marshals. Direct trains from London Bridge to Stonegate Station (1 hour). \nStart: all 26ml at 08:30; all 20ml & 15ml at 10:00. \nAll to finish by 19:00. \nEntry fee incl tea/coffee at start\, simple food & drinks at all CPs and at finish\, certificate for in-time finishers. \nBadge available at finish. \nWell behaved dogs are welcome. Owners will be required to fill in a Dog Registration form\, and keep their dog on a leash at all times. \nAll entrants to carry own mug as none provided. \nYou must wear suitable footwear and clothing and carry a printed route description\, maps (electronic versions accepted)\, compass; \nOS Explorer 136/135/124 or OL199 cover the routes. \nRoute descriptions and gpx files will be available from the Kent Group website a week prior to the event.”

SUMMARY:Epping & Ongar Railway Beer & cider festival
DESCRIPTION:A leisurely Sunday including enjoying Andrew’s transport choir. \nAndrew says: \nI will be aiming to catch the 8.54 train to London Bridge from East Croydon.   Do join me if you like.  I’ll try to be in ticket hall from 8.45am.  Trains are running albeit with possible knock on disruption from the previous day’s amended timetable. You can travel later\, just read the information below to complete your journey. \nI will then aim to travel to Epping underground station in time to catch the (heritage) bus connection (included in event ticket booked at: https://www.eorailway.co.uk/events/real-ale-festival/ ) to North Weald station where the EOR heritage railway main hub is.  Bus scheduled to depart Epping station at 10:25.  (If Central Line is messed up by strike action\, an alternative is Elizabeth Line to Shenfield.) \nThe heritage bus connections (between Epping underground station or Shenfield NR station and North Weald on the EOR (plus some intermediate stops)) timetable is shown below.  (The yellow is recommended buses for choir.)  But note there are two earlier buses from Epping\, shown in the full bus timetable here: https://www.eorailway.co.uk/_img/pics/pdf_1689026521-682.pdf\, that’s 9.40 and 10.25. \nOnce at North Weald\, you can join the Epping Ongar Railway and visit the main beer and cider festival marquee.  Suggest you buy your event ticket first here: https://www.eorailway.co.uk/events/real-ale-festival/ . \nThe choir sing at North Weald station 11.30 to 11.55; then Ongar station 12.55 to 13.30.  (And we travel on the 12:00 train from North Weald to Ongar and the 13:35 train from Ongar to North Weald when we stop singing and can drink beer.  We may even be singing on those trains.) \nBeer is also served on the trains\, see details on the train timetable below. \nMyth busting – my understanding is the Epping Ongar Railway is a heritage line and runs between its Epping Forest and Ongar stations.  With North Weald in between and which is the main hub of the railway.  It does not run into Epping underground station.  A connecting bus is included in the EOR ticket.  I believe it’s not far to walk from Epping underground station to Epping Forest station on the EOR line.  William or Barry will be able to provide exhaustive details.  The line was once part of the Underground network until the 80’s I believe.  The is a long term aspiration to run EOR trains into Epping Underground station. \n \n \nHave fun. \nAndrew

As Ireen explains below\, the original thought was to buy / sell / haggle over outdoor kit of the kind COPSE people often have occasion to use\, but there’s no reason to confine ourselves to that – anything you no longer want to give house or shed room to is eligible. \nAlso\, as a seller you decide how to split the spoils with Shelterbox – 100/0\, 50/50\, 0/100 and points between\, the choice is yours. \nHere’s the full explanation\, from Ireen’s email: \nDear All\,  \n A suggestion from Keith S\, concerning similar experience with another club\, will be taken forward for COPSE at our Tuesday\, 22nd August evening.   \nOur programme had “Captions” listed and this will now become “Captions & Kit”! \nThe idea is that all Members are invited to bring along items that they wish to part with and that funds raised will be put aside to add to our annual ShelterBox donation.   \nOccasionally\, some COPSErs do advertise that this or that is available\, “if anyone wants it.”  Of course\, outdoor activity gear such as walking poles etc. might be well received but other items you would appreciate parting with (thereby gaining more house space!) might also find new homes.  \nSome large tables will be available to display things and you can label your contributions with your name and set price – or perhaps bartering might happen.  Anyway\, we’ll give it all a try. \nThe “Captions” part of the evening will still provide its usual chances for the fun of creative thought but we’ll add this opportunity to sell/buy\, while people are milling around thinking about the photos on the wall. \n PLEASE ESPECIALLY NOTE THAT ANY ITEMS REMAINING UNSOLD MUST BE TAKEN AWAY AGAIN.  We shall not be adding them to our upstairs storeroom!  \n  \nRegards\, \n  \nIreen Best (07968 035522) \n

We will take a bus\, the 303\, which stops right outside the RAF museum.   \nFifteen timed entry slots have been booked from NOON which means there will be time to have a coffee somewhere.

SUMMARY:Chi Kung: the Shibashi
DESCRIPTION:Let Teresa continue her introduction to Chi Kung / Qigong by introducing you to the Shibashi. \nExplanation shamelessly ripped off from another website: \n“Shibashi” means eighteen and Shibashi Qigong is a wonderful set of 18 Qigong exercises practised as a whole for maintaining all round good health and wellbeing. The movements are simple\, gentle and flowing\, and a joy to practise. \n\nThe Autism talk originally scheduled for this date has had to be postponed. With luck it will appear in the Autumn programme.

SUMMARY:East Grinstead now Not So Circular
DESCRIPTION:This is a stroll of about 8 miles into some interesting countryside around East Grinstead. Some small hills but nothing too taxing\, and we’ll fit in a pub call. \nUpdate 9th September  \nAs the heat seems about to continue\, I’ve looked at ways to reduce our exposure on tomorrow’s walk. The one I planned had lots of open country and it occurs to me it would be foolish to expose ourselves that much. \nSo I’ve devised an alternative route that is almost all in shade. Thanks to the late unlamented Dr Beeching the railway line between East Grinstead and Three Bridges is defunct\, and most of it is now a delightfully shaded footpath. \nThis does mean we no longer have a circular route\, and unfortunately you’ll need to buy two separate rail tickets – one to East Grinstead and one back from Three Bridges. Alternatively\, turn back at the halfway point (around Crawley Down). \nThe walk is still 8 miles and has even fewer hills (trains don’t like them). \nNo change to meeting arrangements: \nMeet at East Croydon Station at 10.25\, in time for the 10.39 to East Grinstead (usually platform 6) – or join the train at Sanderstead (10:44) or Riddlesdown (10:47). Arriving East Grinstead at 11.19. \nI’m sure I don’t need to remind seasoned COPSErs about the importance of water\, sunscreen\, hats etc – be careful out there! \nPS \nI’ve failed to find a pub on the way (the one in Crawley Down seems to have encountered its own Beeching Effect) but there is a small Co-op in Crawley Down if you need ready access to drinks and snacks. \n

SUMMARY:Singalong with Steve
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nSteve Barbe returns to again take an impromptu COPSE choir through its vocal paces.
