SUMMARY:London's pearly kings and queens

SUMMARY:Loop Walk - Barnett to Gordon Hill Rail Station
DESCRIPTION:oh dear\, the anticipation is unbearable! Time for more LOOPing and the last bit this side of the Solstice! \n\nWe shall be striking onwards from High Barnet\, across Monken Hadley Common towards Cockfosters – we may meet ‘Livingstone\, I presume’ along the way!\n\nAt Cockfosters there is an opportunity to finish after about 3 miles and go home by tube\, and should anyone wish to do this they will be issued with the instructions and map to get there. It’s reasonably straightforward to get to the station.\n\nWe’ll then venture into Trent Country Park and across Enfield Chase where we may see through the mist Henry VIII (or should that be Henry Tudor!?) out hunting.\n\nDepending upon weather and light levels we have three different places where we can stop\, all north of Enfield. 1. A bus (313) half hourly into Enfield. 2 & 3 are walking links to Gordon Hill rail stn\, which is effectively a suburb of Enfield. Home by train changing onto Victoria Line at Finsbury Park. Next time we shall pick-up the route from exactly wherever we finish this time.\n\nAround about 8 miles or so. Bring food and drink\, but there is a pub near Cockfosters and a cafe at Trent Park soon after.\n\nMore lovely undulating Hertfordshire into Middlesex countryside\, with no main roads to follow\, and islands at all road crossings – a steady climb to start.\n\nWhere to meet \nMeet at East Croydon at 9.15am for the first train after 9.30 to Victoria to change onto tube to High Barnet\, via Euston (there’s a Victoria train spot on 9.30 and one after at 9.44).\n\nNOTE: I would like to be walking by 11am please\, or jolly soon after. I hope to be at East Croydon  all being well\, but I may have to go straight onto Victoria (if I have problems with my train) and then onwards and meet you along the way or at High Barnet tube ‘booking hall’.\n\nIt might be useful to have contact details of someone who knows they are coming\, so as to be in contact\, if necessary.\n\nPaul 07968 223589.\nNo Emails on the day of the walk please – voice or text only\n\n*The London Outer Orbital Path (LOOP) is a 150 mile foot trail around the outskirts of London\, using rivers\, woods and meadowland\, parks and even some suburban streets. It is the further out version of the Capital Ring.

SUMMARY:OBJECTivity\, No. ?
DESCRIPTION:What are these things? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nObjects\, that’s what. Exhibited\, with their fascinating histories\, at our last OBJECTivity evening. \nTomorrow night is another opportunity to show off your fine china\, family heirlooms or just\, well\, bits of rock! \nHere are Ireen’s words of enticement again: \nDear Interesting People\, \nThat covers all COPSErs\, one way or another!  We’re such a mixed bunch and with so many different experiences.  Resulting from these\, we must have a wide range of items that would tell a tale of family\, travels\, mysteries\, or hobbies.  This week at our hall objects will be the activity we shall share.   \nPlease bring along anything that you could explain a little about.  This may be something of its history or its sentimental or monetary value.  It might be something amusing or perhaps be an object so unusual that others may not even know what it is – or maybe you don’t know yourself but another Member might be able to identify it for you!   \nPlease bring one to three objects to entertain us and pass them to me at the start of our evening.  If you have extras\, these could also be brought and kept aside\, in case time allows us to explore a few more things.  (Of course\, audience required to enjoy the collection so please come along\, even if you have no objects this time.)  However\, this weekend might afford time for many to find something! \nTeas and coffees between 8.15pm and 8.30pm. \nRegards\, \nIreen Best (07968 035522) \n

SUMMARY:Capital Ring Walk 4 - Crystal Palace to Streatham Common
DESCRIPTION:Continuing to be inspired by Paul’s assault on the Loop\, and encouraged by the enthusiastic turnout for Parts 1 to 3\, I’m continuing the Capital Ring circuit. \nClick on the map for full details of what the Capital Ring is. This leg is only just over 4 miles\, so we’re starting a bit later to accommodate Sunday lie-ins and make sure it’s light when we start. The walk covers territory that may be familiar to many of us – Norwood Grove\, Streatham Common and The Rookery – but we’ll point out a few places along the way that you may not be aware of. \nThere are plenty of feeding and toilet opportunities along the way\, and those inclined might round off the day with a beer and/or food at The Railway pub. \nWe finish at Streatham Common Station\, with direct trains to East Croydon and\, no doubt\, buses nearby. \nJoining Opportunities\n\n\n\nEast Croydon station from 12 noon to catch the 12.13 to Crystal Palace- usually Platform 1.\nhttps://w3w.co/dock.jars.folds\nCrystal Palace Station\, where this leg of the Ring starts\, from our scheduled arrival at 12.22\nhttps://w3w.co/eaten.handle.lists\n\n\n\nContact\nKen on 07921 258876 \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Art Evening - 8.15 start!
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPlease note that we’ll start earlier than usual\, at 8.15\, to give enough time to complete our masterpieces. \nWith the expert guidance of Teresa\, we’ll be flexing our artistic muscles again to make collaged Xmas cards and origami. \nMaterials will be provided\, but you can also incorporate existing stuff. Bring scissors if you have them. As Teresa appealed: \nDo any of you have CHRISTMAS CARDS\, OLD MAGAZINES in COLOUR\, WRAPPING PAPER any kind?  That you are happy to donate towards the Art Evening on December 9th?  If so please bring along to the Club or drop off at my place.  Address on request.   \nThanks Teresa

SUMMARY:Edenbridge pre- Xmas walk\, mince pies and mulled wine.
DESCRIPTION:Hello copsers\n\nI have a cunning plan for this Sunday.  From Croydon\, catch the 09.23 train to Uckfield\, alighting at Hever at 9.50.\n\nWe will then walk to Chiddingstone for coffee and cake\, then on to Markbeech for beer (should be Harveys Old Ale). After that we will walk to Cowden and get the train back to Edenbridge Town.  A 10 minute walk takes us back to Hever Towers for Mulled Wine and Mince Pies.\n\nThe route is about 6.5 miles and is likely to be muddy. Best to bring some food to keep you going.  You will need to get a return ticket to Cowden.\n\nRemember\, you have to earn your pies and wine by doing the walk.  Please let Grumpy Knickers know if you intend to come so that we know how many supplies to get in.\n\nCheers\n\nTim

SUMMARY:Yule Solstice Day
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE\n\nThe Walk ( 3 miles)\n\nIt’s looking a lot like a walk over Box Hill. Day return to Box Hill and Westhumble rail station\,\n\nGetting there\nPlease take the train departing WEST CROYDON rail station at 10.35am\, and change at Sutton (train arrives at 10:48).\nThe train from Sutton departs at 11.11am and arrives at Boxhill and Westhumble train station at 11.35am\n\nNote;  I will board the train at Sutton or Epsom.\n\nYou may come on the walk\, even if not eating and maybe have a drink at the end.\n\n\nThe Meal  (from about 2.30pm at the Stepping  Stones Pub)\nOn the day we all pay our separate bills\, and ensure the pub has included its service charge/included tip. Pay for any drinks at the bar.\n\nIF YOU WANT TO TRY AND JOIN THIS MEAL STILL\, I AM NOT PERSONALLY TAKING ON ANY MORE BOOKINGS\, SO PLEASE CONTACT THE PUB YOURSELF AND MAKE YOUR MENU CHOICE WITH THEM AND PAY YOUR DEPOSIT TO THEM\, should they require one. Mention my name as the booking you are trying to join. Find their contact details and the everyday Festive Menu on their website.\n\n\n\nSee you\, PAUL.\n07968 223589 (no emails on the day!)\n\n—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————\n\nThe Meal (from about 2.30pm at the Stepping  Stones Pub)\nIMPORTANT: Please select your food choice by Friday 12 December along with any dietary needs/allergies.\n\nThis will be at the Stepping Stones pub\, about 8 minutes walk along a road from the Box Hill & Westhumble rail stn – also a car park at the pub. It will be at 2.30 in the afternoon\, with a walk beforehand of around 3 miles in the local area. You can attend just the walk\, just the meal\, or both\, or neither! Maybe a good idea to have a change of footwear\, and ways of hiding any mud on trousers (there are tricks you can use)…like last year.\n\n\nHow to select your food choice \nPlease go to their website and look at the Festive/Christmas everyday meal menu (not the ones for just Dec 25th\, 26th or New Year). Note that the vegan gravy and vegan custard can be normal gravy or custard. I shall assume everyone is having normal gravy/custard UNLESS you say you want either in a vegan form.\n\nThe pub would like our menu choices by December 12th (Friday) please\, and wish to be informed of any dietary needs/allergies.\n\nIf the booking goes over TEN\, they will start to need a £10 deposit from each person. You can do all this through me\, but if you do anything direct with the pub\, please mention my name for the booking and tell me if you have booked direct\, or paid a deposit to them.\n\nI know it’s still over 3 weeks away (as I write) but they suggest booking as soon as possible\, especially as Sundays is their busiest day.\n\nMore details of the walk to follow nearer the time.\n\n(So far the deposit is not necessary.)\n\nPaul.

SUMMARY:ShelterBox "Mystery Auction"
DESCRIPTION:Happy New Year! You are invited to warm up at our now toasty Hall. \nThe occasion is\, of course\, our annual Mystery Auction\, where we have some fun raising cash for our pet charity\, Shelterbox. \n\n\n\n\nIf you’re not familiar with Shelterbox have a look at their website\, https://shelterbox.org/.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nWhat you can do is to \n\nwrap up your goods (unwanted and/or valuable)\n\nand/or \n\nturn up\, enjoy the banter\, and above all place your bids for the mystery parcels.\n\n  \nDon’t worry if you can’t contribute items\, just come along and enjoy the evening. \nFor the uninitiated\, here are Ireen’s words of explanation from her email: \nDear All\, \nI hope 2026 is off to a good start for everyone – and you are each feeling “resolute”!  No\, I’m not referring to all the personal resolutions (which might already have been broken?!) but to our Club one that we make this annual effort to gather enough funds for a whole “ShelterBox box”. \nFor our “Mystery Auction”\, please spend a few mins in advance\, wrapping your duplicated or unloved objects (rapping\, as you do so\, is optional!) and pass them to me from 8.15pm on Tuesday.  Household / kitchen appliances in good condition – (perhaps never used\, even if intentions were good!) could also be rehomed.  IF there is a content of particularly high value\, you can add a label with a reserve or start price on – likewise\, if the item is only suitable for a male or female recipient.  However\, part of the fun is sometimes when bids disregard the latter\, e.g.\, when Chris T. became the new owner of a lovely\, silky camisole!  (He happily gifted this to a female friend!!) \nWrapping paper need not be new – any kept from opening your own received presents\, be they Xmas\, birthday etc. will be good.  If you have some items to donate but cannot manage to come along in person\, please let me know and I hope I can help by collecting beforehand. \nRe my title\, “Lightening Your Load”: bulging wallets and purses can be brought through the door and you can benefit by carrying them away with far less weight in them!  Also\, please remember that our 2025 techy advance gave us a card machine\, although chequebooks could still be brought!  Once again\, Treasurer Bob will kindly be managing the finance for the evening. \nN.B. If the attached table is of interest\, I am taking emailed or telephoned bids\, as well as on the night\, and can collect from its donor and deliver to you in the near future.  The table is good and sturdy and a size that will very comfortably seat four people.  Please contact me with your offers! \nWidth: 46¼”  (117.5cm)  X  Depth: 31½”  (80cm)  X  Height: 29”  (74cm) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nI close with another good wish for everyone to have as good a 2026 as they possibly can – and with a quote from the ShelterBox website: \nEMERGENCY DISASTER RELIEF Families are facing a bitter winter in make shift shelters\, struggling to survive:\nSupporting communities in crisis \n\nRight now\, over 120 million people around the world have been made homeless by disaster and conflict. ShelterBox is working to change this. \nBy providing emergency shelter and tools for families robbed of their homes by disaster\, we’re transforming despair into hope. \nWe want to see a world where no family is left without shelter after disaster. Join us. \nRegards\, \nIreen Best (079868 035522)

SUMMARY:Capital Ring Walk 5 - Streatham Common to Wimbledon Park
DESCRIPTION:Continuing to be inspired by Paul’s assault on the Loop\, and encouraged by the enthusiastic turnout for Parts 1 to 4\, I’m continuing the Capital Ring circuit. \nNewbies can click on the map above to see what the Capital Ring is all about. This leg will ease us gently into the New Year with a level stroll of just under 6 miles on tarmac paths and pavements\, and we’re starting at a time to accommodate Sunday lie-ins. Highlights include Tooting Bec and Wandsworth Commons and Wandsworth Prison\, as well as the largest (it says here) single block of flats in Europe. \nThere are plenty of feeding and toilet opportunities along the way\, and those inclined might round off the day with a beer and/or food at The Woodman pub. \nWe finish at Wimbledon Park Station\, from where the best route back to Croydon seems to be a short ride on the District Line to connect with Tramlink at Wimbledon. \nJoining Opportunities\n\n\n\nEast Croydon station from 12 noon to catch the 12.14 to Streatham Common – usually from Platform 4.\nhttps://w3w.co/dock.jars.folds\nStreatham Common Station\, Estrehan Road exit\, where this leg of the Ring starts\, from our scheduled arrival at 12.25\nhttps://w3w.co/lime.grit.froth\n\n\n\nContact\nKen on 07921 258876 \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:By request\, the Coulsdon to Cheam section of the loop is back
DESCRIPTION:Hello \nI have been requested to do the section between Coulsdon and Nonsuch Park\, near Ewell and Cheam via Woodmansterne\, Clockhouse\, Oaks Park and past another prison!\n\nIf you missed it in 2024\, here’s your chance to catch up.\n\nDistance around 8 to 9 miles\, fairly straightforward with the odd ascent\, refreshment possibilities at Clockhouse\, Oaks Park Cafe and at Nonsuch Park Mansion at the end. But bring beverage and nibbles along.\n\nWhere to meet\nCoulsdon in the area outside the supermarket Aldi\, opposite where the Chipstead Valley Road branches off.\n\nHow to get here \nBuses from Croydon\, of course\, including the 60 and 166\, but don’t be tempted onto a 466 as this turns off and heads up to Coulsdon village before it gets to the part of Coulsdon we want.\n\nWhat time \nThe proposed time is  10.15am\n\nReturning from Cheam\nBuses from nearby Cheam village back to Croydon (including the SuperLoop bus from Heathrow) and trains back to West Croydon from Cheam rail stn. You can leave (or join) at Oaks Park using a bus 166. You could also leave a little early before Nonsuch Park and get a train from Ewell EAST\n\nBring a sense of humour and some rain gear!\n\nPaul N.\n07968 223589

SUMMARY:Burns Night
DESCRIPTION:The Programme:\n\nPlease note we’ll be taking £3 at the door to cover costs for this evening – a bargain any Scot would be proud to claim! \nFair fa’ your honest\, sonsie face\nWe didn’t argue with that sentiment in previous years\, and everyone had such a good time that we’re doing it again. \nIf you have yet to be convinced of haggis’s virtues (or even if you have been)\, roll up on Tuesday evening for a treat of said puddin’\, with its traditional embellishments of bashed neeps\, mashed spuds\, and whatever trimmings we can muster. There will even be a dram in it for those keen on the true Caledonian experience\, along with the joyful skirl provided by our in-house piper and traditional poetry read in excruciatingly inaccurate Scottish accents. \nNote that we’ll be providing\, as well as full-fat leaded haggis\, vegetarian\, gluten free and gluten free vegetarian variations. Please let Ken know if your tastes run to any of these so we can get the numbers right. \nPlease note that\, due to government restrictions\, we will be using only left-handed specimens\, humanely caught by burly\, kilted highlanders using extra strong butterfly nets. \nBut\n(I hear you ask) \nwhat’s my part in all this magnificence?\nWell\, there are a few things you should be aware of . . . . \n1. In the interests of simplicity and getting home before dawn\, we’re not washing up! Bring your own plate\, glass and cutlery\, and take them home at the end of the evening. \n2. Drink provided is limited to Scotch and Highland Water for the toasts – in addition\, of course\, to the regular tea & coffee service graciously provided by Olga William Colette. If your tastes veer in other directions\, please feel free to bring your own choice of tipple. \n3. For the furtherance of jollity and the spirit of the evening\, any vaguely Scottish apparel is encouraged. If you can’t stretch to a kilt\, how about tartan socks or a Hamilton Accies away strip? \nLooking forward to that haggis already. No\, don’t ask me what’s in it! \n(I know\, all shamelessly pasted in from previous web pages pasted in from the previous year’s email. Life’s still too short . . . )

SUMMARY:Ski trip adventure Arc 2000 Paradiski\, France
DESCRIPTION:Update \nOur ski destination has changed to Arc 2000 Paradiski\, France \n————————————————————————– \nCOPSE powder hounds hit the slopes for a winter adventure in the Skiarea Campiglio Brenta Dolomites. Sat. 31st Jan. to Sat. 7th Feb 2026.” \nIf there’s further info you need please let me know. \nThanks \nPaul D. \n  \n\n\n\nHi COPSErs \nRegular “COPSE-skimos” have been researching a winter holiday for the week starting Saturday 31/1/2026.  We have found an attractive option and wish to encourage other COPSErs to participate.  Here is some information about it.  If you are interested please let me know by Sunday 16 March. \n  \nBased largely on preferences from previous holidays\, the proposed destination is Folgarida in Italy for the following reasons: \n  \n\nit’s in the Dolomites.\n\n \n\nit’s part of the extensive and scenic Madonna di Campiglio lift system\n\n \n\nthe resort has a good snow record\nit offers other activities including snowy walking trails\, please check out Esperienze \nthe Park Hotel is accessible from one of the easier ski runs\, so no need to walk or catch a bus\n\n \n\nthe Park Hotel has a spa and pool\n\n \n\nit’s a package holiday\, so you are well looked after. Crystal are part of the massive TUI group\, and we’ve been skiing with them for a number of years. The holiday is twin-share half-board and it’s about £900 at the moment (excludes equipment hire and lift pass). Gatwick flights are early – it’s a 6am check-in. \n\n\nif there are any special requirements e.g. diet it’s best to chat on-line with Crystal. Previously the buffet-style catering has had plenty of choice so hopefully this wouldn’t present a problem\nif you’re interested please let me know by Sunday 16th March. It’s a £100 deposit to go on the booking\, subject to rooming (same gender twin-share) and availability\, and the balance becomes payable in November. Single occupancy supplements are usually expensive\, about £400. Again\, Crystal will advise about this cost if you use their on-line chat\nif you fancy skiing/boarding before the holiday there is an indoor slope at Hemel Hempstead\, or a dry slope near Chatham. \nwe’ve just enjoyed a ski holiday with great snow and fantastic scenery.  We have a range of competencies in the group and we ski together as much as we can.  We’d love to bring the fun to other COPSErs.  Some of our group took up skiing relatively recently.  It may seem a lot of money but it’s a great experience and\, as mentioned\, there are non-ski options too.\n\n  \nPlease let me know if you have any questions or need further information. \n  \nThanks. \nPaul D. \n0794 129 6019

SUMMARY:Builders Arms Quiz
DESCRIPTION:Well\, we shall try to grab it!  Yet again\, non-skiing COPSErs will be attempting to wrestle the prize (sometimes a fairly substantial pot of ££s) away from the regular teams competing at the “Builders Arms” Quiz Night.*   \nI have reserved three tables of six for our Members.  The quiz will cost £1pp (cash) and now begins a half hour earlier\, i.e. at 8.30pm.  We can arrive from 6.30pm to order food and socialize before the brain strain begins. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n65 Leslie Park Road\, Croydon\, Surrey\, CR0 6TP \nhttps://buildersarmscroydon.co.uk/eat-drink-1b \n*  N.B. On previous visits\, one of our teams did achieve second place! \nIf you would like to be among those of us exercising our grey matter this time\, please let me know.  \n  \nRegards\, \n  \nIreen Best (07968 035522) \n
