SUMMARY:Country Walk - Capital Ring\, Part 2 - Falconwood to Grove Park\, with a Detour
DESCRIPTION:Weather Stop Press\nWe’ve all seen the weather warnings and I don’t have to tell any of our seasoned COPSErs about hats\, suncream\, carrying water or any of that. I’m sure you’ve all studied and memorised the walking guidance at https://www.copsecroydon.co.uk/policies/guidance-on-walking-cycling-and-camping/\, so you know what precautions to take. \nWhat I will say by way of reassurance is \n\nWe won’t try to break any speed records\, it will be an amble with plenty of stopping opportunities\nand\nIf it all gets too much on the day there are many chances to leave the walk early. We’ll be passing Eltham and Mottingham stations\, and I’m sure there are buses that will take you somewhere useful eventually\n\nSo come along and enjoy! \n\nContinuing to be inspired by Paul’s assault on the Loop\, and encouraged by the enthusiastic turnout for Part 1\, I’m continuing the Capital Ring circuit. Click on the map for full details of what the Capital Ring is. \n \nAccording to the book this leg is only a matter of 3.5 miles\, described by the official app as “gorgeous”\, but hardly a sufficient stretching of legs for the power walkers of COPSE. So we’ll be extending the trip to take in a visit to “The Last Remaining Tudor Barn in London”\, making the whole walk about 6 miles. The terrain is mostly flat on paths and tracks. \nThere will be feeding and toilet opportunities along the way. \nWe can return from Grove Park Station via London Bridge. \nJoining Opportunities\n\nEast Croydon station from 11.20 to catch the 11.34 to Victoria\nhttps://w3w.co/dock.jars.folds\nVictoria station near Platform 7 for the 12.03 to Falconwood\nhttps://w3w.co/wool.mercy.bump\nFalconwood station from our scheduled arrival at 12.39\nhttps://w3w.co/pits.boat.perky\n\n\nContact\nKen on 07921 258876

SUMMARY:The Points of View Quiz!
DESCRIPTION:A COPSE special!\nThe Points of View Quiz! \nBrand 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. \nExpect 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! \nPrize\, 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. \n  \np.s. Viewpoint writers needed urgently. Apply within! \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pepys - The Last Walk!?
DESCRIPTION:We’ve packed out four Pepys Walks\, so we’re here again for the fifth and (probably) last!\n\n\nWhere?\nAgain 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! \nThis one follows a fine tradition by starting and ending at a pub! \nIt’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. \nWho was Pepys?\n \nA 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. \nGetting there\nJoining opportunities: \n\n\n\n\n\nEast Croydon station from 11.00 to catch the 11.14 to Victoria from Platform 1.\n\n\nhttps://w3w.co/dock.jars.folds\n\n\n\n\nAt Victoria station from our scheduled arrival time 11.30\n\n\nhttps://w3w.co/gladiators.zooms.sweep\n\n\n\n\nOutside Holborn Underground Station about 12.00\n\n\nhttps://w3w.co/pokers.guitar.custom\n\n\n\n  \nCall me (number below) if any difficulty joining up. \nFinishing\nWe 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. \nLinks\nPepys’s diary for this day 363 years ago: https://www.pepysdiary.com/ \nGeneral info on Pepys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Pepys \nContact\nKen on 07921 258876 \n\nWhat3Words\nExplanation is here.

SUMMARY:Open air theatre\, Coulsdon\, ‘Animal Farm’
DESCRIPTION:Here are some details of the open air theatre trip programmed for Thursday 31 July. \nTheatre 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. \nThe 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. \nI 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. \nIf the show is cancelled because of bad weather they will offer an alternative night. Bad weather is unusual apparently. \nRegards\nAndrew

SUMMARY:Exploring Cuckmere Pilgrim Path
DESCRIPTION:The circular walk begins from Berwick Station at 10.25 am \nGETTING HERE \nThere is a train departing East Croydon at 09.10 and arriving at Lewes at 09.56 \nThen take the train from Lewes at 10.14 to arrive at Berwick at 10.25 \nI will catch the train from Lewes to Berwick. \nThere 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 \nThe 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. \nWe 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. \nCuckmere Pilgrim Path \nHope this all makes sense and please contact me if there are any problems. Text or phone 07732 809 116. Thanks. Pauline.
