Paul says: Hello All (and Happy Groundhog Day, by the way!), There appears to be no event this weekend, so I am offering people to come along again and do some more of the LOOP, a 150-mile walking route around the outskirts of London where it meets the countryside - while we can. It will […]
After the big success of last year’s Wine Tasting, we’re doing it again this week. Come along and show off your nose, your palate, or any acceptable body part. There’ll be special selections from Croydon’s finest wine merchants - OK, supermarkets – served in real glasses and accompanied by outstanding cheeses and carefully selected […]
Meet from 10.45am on East Croydon Station's concourse => leave at 11.10am for a tram to Wandle Park. We will take a four mile leisurely walk via Wandle Park, Waddon Ponds, Beddington Park, Carshalton Ponds, Wilderness Island (London Wildlife Trust) to Carshalton Ponds + the high street where the walk will end. From here you […]

Join other transport geeks, enthusiasts and day trippers for a ride on and visit to some of London’s newest transport infrastructure and trains, with an emphasis on the East. Naturally transport providers have thwarted some best laid plans through timetable changes and bus replacement. So unfortunately we won’t be travelling on the shortest rail service […]
The time for tossing and turning has again come around. This is not a reference to restless sleep but a reminder that the COPSE Pancake Night will be this week! A flipping good time can be had. Please provide your own batter - prepared at home or at the hall, if you wish - plus […]
Now meeting at 7.30 in the Mandela Lounge at Ruskin House. Today's email . . . All Sorry, but we’ve been let down on the venue tonight. Fortunately Roy at Ruskin House has responded quickly to Ireen’s desperate pleas, and the Mandela Room is available from 7.00. Meeting time is still 7.30. The food option […]
I will lead a circular walk of about 5.5 miles from Otford in Kent on Sunday 26 Feb. It should take about three hours. There is a climb up steps and one other short steep climb and a couple of descents. There are pubs and cafes in Otford but no refreshments on the walk so […]
