Visitors' Walk or Cycle Ride
2025-07-13 13:30 - 17:30
A free “Visitors’ Walk or Cycle Ride”
Join us for either, meet some of our Members and find out more about our Club!

The Walk
Meet outside Croydon Central Library in Katharine Street at 1.30pm. https://w3w.co/lands.body.rivers
This will be an Urban Mystery Walk, taking in parts of Croydon with some interesting history and things to spot! This will take about three and a half hours at an easy speed, allowing for observations and comments.
Distance is about six miles but with various pauses (and various opt-out points, if necessary). It will end just into part of South Croydon – – with teas / coffees and cake!
Some specific streets and landmarks will be included. Hopefully, some interesting information can be gleaned about places we too often just hurry and scurry past. If you are able to enlighten us with your additional knowledge as we go around, that will be to the benefit of all!
To Bring: Any food or drink you can consume as we wend our way along our route. No refreshment stops are included until we end the afternoon.
To Wear: Fingers are crossed for dry weather – please do come clad in keeping with the weather forecast.
Comfy town footwear should be fine – but not your Sunday best because there will be a couple of leaf-strewn paths that might be a little mucky.
There will be a “glossy souvenir brochure” for all who attend!

The Cycle Ride
Meet outside Croydon Central Library in Katharine Street at 1.30pm. https://w3w.co/lands.body.rivers
The route will be a flat, return ride to Greenwich and its surrounds, 20 miles total, finishing in South Croydon – for coffees / teas and cake!
To Bring: Your en-route drinks and snacks. There will be a refreshment stop opportunity at Greenwich.
To Wear: Cyclists should consider wearing a helmet and any other appropriate safety cycling attire.
The ride will be suitable for all types of bikes.

The Points of View Quiz!
2025-07-15 20:15 - 22:00 | South Croydon United Church Hall, Aberdeen Road, South Croydon, CR0 1EQ, United Kingdom
A COPSE special!
The Points of View Quiz!
Brand new for COPSE, your host tonight will be the best most fabulous magazine editor in town! Form a team and test your knowledge on what you’ve read (or more likely, what you haven’t read) in the past year in Viewpoint magazine, and probably ‘other sources of information’ because not every COPSE event has had a roving reporter.
Expect the unexpected, because the Editor does have a certain quirky way of presenting things. Remember, all the fun may be in the detail. Whether you have or haven’t read the magazine, the quiz will include multiple choice questions so there is always a chance anyone can win! Your host may even award extra points for the funniest answer. Think of it like a ‘Have I Got News For You’ COPSE edition!
Prize, you ask? Don’t expect to win a speedboat, or a case of champagne, but I’ll have a root around in my dusty bin if it’s not bin day.

p.s. Viewpoint writers needed urgently. Apply within!

Bonus Evening Cycle
2025-07-18 18:15 - 21:00
Hello cyclists. Having checked no other COPSE events on Friday and following our enjoyment of a Friday evening cycle the other week, I propose another this Friday, 18th July. And this time a little earlier with a view to having a meal at the pub – The Harrow, Farleigh Common.
Meet outside Fairfield Halls from 6.15pm in time for a 6.30pm departure. We will aim to get to The Harrow by 8pm. Route to be determined. Can be varied depending on our progress. Some steady hills out. As before, largely downhill back into Croydon.
Bring lights for your bike. (And note to self, charge them up!)
Regards
Andrew

Pepys - The Last Walk!?
2025-07-20 11:00 - 17:00
We’ve packed out four Pepys Walks, so we’re here again for the fifth and (probably) last!

Where?
Again we’ll be following the 17th Century footsteps of Samuel Pepys, this time replicating a New Year’s Day walk through City sites and out to Wapping. Again I’ll be your amateur guide, book in hand, pointing out the connections to Pepys on the way. No doubt other COPSErs will continue to persist in offering their own observations!
This one follows a fine tradition by starting and ending at a pub!
It’s an easy 4 hour walk along pavements (boots not required) for about 6 miles, ending with an optional beer or two at the very historic Prospect of Whitby – a tavern that also serves food. There are plenty of opportunities to leave the walk early as we pass a number of Underground stations. Buses are also relatively plentiful.
Who was Pepys?

A man who lived through the upheavals of the Civil War, the execution of Charles I, the reign of Cromwell and the subsequent restoration of the Monarchy with Charles II. Most significantly for us, from 1660 to 1669 he wrote a daily diary describing events high and low. He was a man on the rise with connections to politics and royalty, but determined to enjoy life with visits to taverns and theatres, domestic life with his French wife, and furtive dalliances with a variety of disreputable ladies.
Getting there
Joining opportunities:

East Croydon station from 11.00 to catch the 11.14 to Victoria from Platform 1.

https://w3w.co/dock.jars.folds

At Victoria station from our scheduled arrival time 11.30

https://w3w.co/gladiators.zooms.sweep

Outside Holborn Underground Station about 12.00

https://w3w.co/pokers.guitar.custom

Call me (number below) if any difficulty joining up.
Finishing
We finish at Wapping, from which the Windrush line will take you straight to West Croydon via Norwood Junction. I’m sure many other routes are possible.

2025-07-22 19:30 - 22:00
Nothing at the Hall tonight!
Please meet at Blackhorse Lane tram stop at 19.30 – a 10 minute ride from East Croydon on a Beckenham Junction or Elmers End tram.
We will walk through some green spaces ending up in South Norwood Country Park. Then return by tram from Arena to E. Croydon or Addiscombe for a drink at the Claret & Ale. (1 minute from Addiscombe tram stop)

Book Evening
2025-07-29 20:15 - 22:00 | South Croydon United Church Hall, Aberdeen Road, South Croydon, CR0 1EQ, United Kingdom
Sharing of favourite recent reads, fiction or non-fiction. Interesting for both contributors and “listeners”!

Open air theatre, Coulsdon, ‘Animal Farm’
2025-07-31 19:30 - 22:30
Here are some details of the open air theatre trip programmed for Thursday 31 July.
Theatre Workshop Coulsdon’s annual show at Coulsdon Manor this year is and adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. It’s a lovely venue – in a wooded glade on the golf course of Coulsdon Manor. But 466 runs by. YOU NEED TO BRING A CHAIR. Parking is possible.
The show is 7.45pm. Tickets £12. They usually provide pizza in the interval if booked on arrival (extra cost). I will check this is happening. There is also a small bar. We would be able to travel together from East Croydon bus station (or stops south of). YOU NEED TO BRING A CHAIR. People usually bring a camping chair. COPSE has a couple you could borrow for a token rent. You would have to take them after the Club night by 29th July and carry them. It is approx. 500m walk from the bus stop to the venue.
I suggest you get your own ticket but if this proves difficult speak to me. Link as above or here: Theatre Workshop Coulsdon event tickets from TicketSource.
If the show is cancelled because of bad weather they will offer an alternative night. Bad weather is unusual apparently.

Andrew

Exploring Cuckmere Pilgrim Path
2025-08-02 09:00 - 17:00
The circular walk begins from Berwick Station at 10.25 am
GETTING HERE
There is a train departing East Croydon at 09.10 and arriving at Lewes at 09.56
Then take the train from Lewes at 10.14 to arrive at Berwick at 10.25
I will catch the train from Lewes to Berwick.
There is a car park at Berwick Station for those who wish to drive Maybe advisable to prebook in advance to secure a space – £4.60 for the day. Parking in Berwick Station Parking | Prebook Online | APCOA | APCOA
The walk is a fairly easy 7 and half mile walk in beautiful countryside but does have STILES. As I propose to do half the route (the Western/central churches), we should have plenty of time either in churches (there is a Pilgrim table and stamp in each) or a nearby pub (you get to choose) and then regroup to continue.
We will have visited 4 churches/pubs in this walk and I can do another walk to see the others later on in the year The longest stop should be at Alfriston as there are so many choices. There are 3 really old 16 th century Inns, lots of cosy tea shops, a large church, small museum or if you want to increase mileage can set off on the riverside walk (being mindful of time we need to regroup). At the end of the walk there is a lovely inn right by Berwick station where, if you wish, ( or have time waiting for train), we can stop for a drink and maybe try for a bite to eat.
Cuckmere Pilgrim Path
Hope this all makes sense and please contact me if there are any problems. Text or phone 07732 809 116. Thanks. Pauline.

I am leading an 8.5 mile walk from Hever Railway Station on Saturday 16th of August.

The route is gently undulating, no big hills. The train fare is £10, with a third off for Group travel and other discounts for Freedom Card holders. At the moment it is forecast to be sunny and about 25 degrees c, so be prepared.

Captions & Kit
2025-09-09 20:15 - 22:00 | South Croydon United Church Hall, Aberdeen Road, South Croydon, CR0 1EQ, United Kingdom
Pit-your-wit with photos, plus a tabletop sale.
Advance Notice – land of opportunity for your photos!
All
This Club Night one element of the evening is the Caption Competition, where you apply your considerable wits to some problematic pictures.

Back in the days when this traditional diversion started, we took the occasional snap with a box brownie, only weeks later paying through the nose to get the pathetic results from the Chemist – usually stickered with “Out of Focus” or “Under Exposed” – and we relied on outtakes from Viewpoint for the source material.
In contrast, in the high-tech Utopia we now inhabit we have the opportunity to upgrade our experience using the plethora of photos from COPSE activities of all flavours lurking undiscovered on people’s phones and other digitisers, just begging to be dragged into the light of day for our amusement.
So my request to you is: please email me any such pictures beforehand so we can include them in the entertainment.
Thanks in advance
