SUMMARY:Stonehenge Midsummer Solstice
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE\n\n\nSo\, around about 7pm BST outside Salisbury Railway Station [Saturday June 20th] is what I’m aiming for as it gives plenty of time to see Stonehenge while it’s still light\, and then go and “settle down” for the night until about 3.30am. The original email is shown below\, minus the replies\, which you can see elsewhere on your own email material\, to see what other people are or are not thinking of doing.\n\nYou can come later if you wish\, and I will leave my stone age phone on for communications. One bit of advice I thought of is to bring one of those survival bags along\, if you possess one\, which are ideal for keeping yourself warm and dry (apart from your own sweat!!)\, along with your jacket\, blanket\, etc\, in your not large rucksack.\n\nIf you are thinking of coming along you really do\, please\, need to read their website thoroughly (if not already done so) and understand what’s what (just ‘google’ Stonehenge Summer Solstice and that should get you there)…otherwise\, see you on the other side (if not before). (Enjoy singing in The Sound Of Music\, and enjoy the Choral Concert…perhaps ‘The Sixteen’ (is that the right group?) will sing something from The Sound Of Music – not out of the question.\n\nIMPORTANT: I AM NOT CERTAIN I SHALL HAVE REGULAR ACCESS TO THE INTERNET BETWEEN NOW AND MIDSUMMER\, AND EVEN A BIT BEYOND (ONLY LIMITED WEBSITE USAGE ON MY TABLET\, AND EMAILS ONLY AT LIBRARIES). I HARDLY KNOW WHERE I SHALL BE ONE DAY TO THE NEXT OR WHERE I SHALL COME TO STONEHENGE FROM – IT’S VERY MUCH DOWN TO “JE NACH WETTER”. SO AS I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE EMAILS UNTIL I GET BACK\, I RECOMMEND YOU PHONE ME OR TEXT ME IN REAL TIME CONCERNING THIS EVENT\, SHOULD YOU NEED TO.\n\n——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-\nSTONEHENGE AT MIDSUMMER SOLSTICE – JUNE 20TH-21ST WEEKEND\, 2026.\n\n\n\nPLEASE GO TO THE WEBSITE FOR THE STONEHENGE MIDSUMMER CELEBRATIONS AND READ IT THROUGH THOROUGHLY AT LEAST TWICE AS THERE ARE MANY CONDITIONS AND DOS AND DON’TS FOR ATTENDING.\n\nSummer Solstice 2026 | English Heritage\n\n\nThe main headlines are that \n1. If you are coming by car you need to book up in advance for parking.\n\n2. You cannot bring any camping equipment with you on the site\, NOT EVEN A SLEEPING BAG. A rug or wrap is allowed. Strictly speaking you are not even allowed to lie down\, but people do\, moreso as you get further away from the Stones.\n\nSo\, should you happen to be attending this on the way back from a stay in the West Country (“just saying”) you need to store your camping etc\, gear somewhere\, i.e.\, in a vehicle\, or perhaps at Salisbury Station. I leave you to make all these arrangements YOURSELF please.\n\nLast year I went to this\, and the weather was fine and warm\, not a drop of rain in sight. BUT I imagine if the weather is not so good\, it may not be entirely pleasurable to be there – it depends what you are used to. So please think about what it may be like to stay awake all night in drizzle and coolness. If the forecast is really bad I MYSEL:F will not go.\n\nI don’t wish to put the Fear of Thor into you and put you off coming\, but you need to imagine what it may be like at Stonehenge under different weather conditions!! (with no tent or proper sleeping bag with you)\n\n\nThe Oak and the Ash have been coming out about the same time this year\, which may indicate some rainy spells this Summer\, if you believe the old country saying…\n\nMy plan: Last year I got there late in the evening\, and stayed until ‘late’ish’ (about 7.30am GMT or BST I can’t recall!) in the morning. By the time I got there it was dark and I was bumping into and tripping over the stones and when I put my hand out to touch a stone I found I was touching a person!!  It was noisy and crowded. I lay down and rested near the stones with people climbing over me – by the time of sunrise I had rather forgotten what I was there for\, and which stone to look through for the sunrise. I then hung around for a few hours\, and then joined a long\, long queue for the special bus back to Salisbury Rail Stn (at least two hours in the queue – it’s all a bit hazy by now). The bus back to Bournemouth (where I was staying) took some three hours owing to traffic\, likely because of road works. This last bit was NOT due to Stonehenge\, of course\, but added to the strange day. (I then managed to catch a train to Wareham for a multiple garden open day there in the afternoon!)\n\n\n\n\nTHE PLAN FOR THE WEEKEND\nSO THIS YEAR I want to do things the other way around: Get there early while it’s still light\, and have some time to explore around the stones before it gets dark (might be quieter too!). Then retire to quite a distance from the stones (as it’s possible to do) to rest and doze through until the early hours. At sunrise (around 3.40am GMT) I shall  be back at the stones. And then I shall leave quite soon (the bus service back to Salisbury starts VERY EARLY)\, despite possible temptations to linger on in the atmosphere. Back at Salisbury I shall either go home\, go to Bournemouth on the bus (if that’s where I’m staying)\, or possibly – if there’s any life left in me –  go and explore a bit of the city. Sometimes you get a second wind after a poor night’s sleep.\n\nSo that’s my intention. If anyone else wants to do anything differently then please do so\, and we can try and meet up using the wonders of modern technology.\n\nIf the conditions are good this is quite a thing to go to and you can walk amongst the stones of Stonehenge – there’s some so-called Pagan drumming and chanting going on within the stones too! It’s free to enter\, but getting there (and I imagine parking a car) is expensive. Bear in mind this is the last time the Summer Solstice falls at a weekend for some years\, probably until the early 2030s (although it takes place every year\, of course\, whatever day it is).\n\nJust be aware of all possibilities and bring a sense of Humour (and maybe flowers in your hair!).\nAlso good to bring your own food and flask. There are stalls selling food and drink (which I didn’t use last year)\, which will have queues.\nThere are loads of portaloos available.\n\n\nGETTING THERE\n\nI shall appoint a meeting time in the early evening outside Salisbury Rail Stn for anyone coming at that time. I may or may not have been in the City for part or all of the Saturday to explore around\, I haven’t decided yet and may not know until much closer to the time.\n\nA email much nearer the time will give a meeting time (around 6-7pm) outside Salisbury Rail stn on the evening of Saturday June 20th (Midsummer Even) – the Solstice is not until 8.24am GMT on Sunday June 21st\, BUT THE MAIN EVENT HERE IS THE SUNRISE THROUGH AND OVER THE STONEHENGE\, some hours before that at – yes – sunrise.\n\nSO UNTIL THEN PLEASE GO STUDY THE WEBSITE and see what you think. (The special bus service timetable has not appeared yet\, but will do shortly\, I’m sure. DON’T CONFUSE THIS SPECIAL CHARGED BUS SERVICE FROM SALISBURY TO STONEHENGE VISITOR’S CENTRE WITH THE FREE SHUTTLE BUS LAID ON BETWEEN THE VISITOR CENTRE AND THE STONES (FOR THOSE NOT WANTING TO WALK OVER TO THE STONES (about a mile or so) ).\n\n\n\nPaul

SUMMARY:Desert Island Streams
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nEver dreamed of being cast away with only a copy of Spotify for company? Well tonight we bring that dream perilously close to realisation. \nThis is your chance to inflict your musical taste on your Clubmates\, and have theirs inflicted on you. \nWilliam writes: \nWe have done people’s favorite books\, poetry and objects so on 23 June we are going to try a COPSE version of Desert Island Discs. Should you wish to participate\, you will need to select two of your favorite music pieces. They can be popular\, classical\, jazz or whatever your preference is. The idea is to give a brief talk to explain why you like the particular piece and if it has any personal connection to you before playing it\,  We will stream one piece and if time allows stream both choices. To help with planning the evening\, should you wish to participate please email me with the name of the song(s) music giving the name of the piece and the artist.  \nIt would be helpful if you could confirm your choices on or before Sunday 21 June.  \nTo be clear\, we’ll find videos of the trracks wherever possible\, otherwise it will be the best that Spotify can deliver.

SUMMARY:Capital Ring Walk 8 - Osterley Lock to Greenford

Some muddy trails are possible. \nThere are plenty of feeding and toilet opportunities along the way\, and there are pub options at the end\, yet to be investigated. \nJoining Opportunities\n\n\n\nEast Croydon station at 10.50 for the 11.03 to Farringdon.\nhttps://w3w.co/dock.jars.folds\nAt Osterley Lock\nhttps://w3w.co/detect.gums.labs\n\n\n\n\nNote that the nearest tube station to Osterley Lock\, Boston Manor\, is only served by a bus replacement this weekend. \nContact\nKen on 07921 258876 \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:COPSE at the BBC Proms 2026 - Mon 27 July
DESCRIPTION:Hi\n\nHere is the information about this year’s BBC Proms concert I have chosen for COPSE.\n\nIt’s on Monday 27 July starting at the earlier time of 7.00pm at the Royal Albert Hall.  The programme includes Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony presented by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Edward Gardner.  Full details here: Proms 2026 Calendar – By Date – BBC\n\nTo claim one of 12 tickets\, contact me soon as.    Once we have established contact I will inform you how to pay me.\n\nThis year I procured the tickets a different way.  Online instead of in person.  This means I am limited to buying twelve tickets. (It also means I don’t yet have paper tickets.  They are due to be sent to me nearer the event.  This could be awkward as it means less time to distribute them.)  If you are unlucky in not being able to claim one of these I share below the details of where we are sitting and how you can get your own ticket near us.  (All being well.)\n\nI have gone for a little pricier tickets this year.  Not quite the back row of the “Rausing Circle”.   They work out at £29 each.\n\nTo book your own ticket\, visit Proms 2026 From the Alps to the Auvergne – BBC Proms – BBC\n\n\nThe Proms start next Friday\, 17 July.\n\nThanks and regards\nAndrew
