The Programme: Please note we'll be taking £3 at the door to cover costs for this evening - a bargain any Scotsman would be proud to claim! Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face We didn't argue with that sentiment last year (or the year before), and everyone had such a good time that we're doing […]
We will be continuing the London LOOP, picking up from where we left off (last March!!) at Hamsey Green, and probably get as far as Oaks Park (8 and a half miles). But wherever we stop there are buses back into Croydon. Just to remind, the LOOP is the London Outer Orbital Path which goes […]
Dear Non-Skiers, As many of us will not be away to the mountains for physical exercise in the snow, we plan to join up for some mental exercise at the pub quiz put on by "The Builders Arms". I have been able to reserve tables for three Club teams of six people in each. Some […]
The Destinations show at Olympia has been suggested as an event for COPSE members to attend. It runs from the 1st - 4th February and is well worth a visit - we have been several times before. (Members can make their own arrangements and free tickets are available from outdoor shops etc.)

Potentially as much as 8 miles or so, with some mud and some suburban pavements. Refreshment possibilities in Coulsdon, Clockhouse, Oaks Park, Nonsuch Park, and perhaps other unexpected places. A chance […]

Full details in attached poster. (You'll have to […]
We all enjoyed the Pepys Walk on 10th December, so here's the second instalment. Where? This Sunday, join me for a stroll through some familiar parts of London with a historical context. We’re going to follow the 17th Century footsteps of Samuel Pepys, this time around the streets of the City of London. Again I’ll […]

A flipping good time can be had. 😁 Packets of batter mix with "just add milk" (or even just water?) are available in many supermarkets for those […]
