SUMMARY:Tai Chi with Richard Pearce
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nTai chi\, as I’m sure you know\, is an internal Chinese martial art\, now much practised here for its health and fitness benefits – low impact exercise relieving stress on the body and mind. \nBob Gilly is an adherent\, and we’ve persuaded his teacher\, Richard Pearce\, to come along this Tuesday evening to enlighten us all. He will explain its history and background\, give a demonstration\, and invite our boldest to give it a try. \nNo special clothing required to take part\, but high heels are best avoided. \nCome along\, you could find a new enthusiasm in your life!

SUMMARY:Let's Decorate - in the Warm!
DESCRIPTION:You may have noticed that the thermometer has taken a downward turn lately\, and the Hall is as much affected as anywhere else. So this week\, and possibly next week’s party too\, we’re going to use the back room\, where the radiators actually belt out some heat. \nCheaper than staying at home – and possibly warmer! \nAs you’re all aware\, Olga will help you find your inner creative genius to make decorations for Christmas – for the Hall or to take home\, you choose. \nBy agreement with the Church\, we can make our mark on the Hall and leave it in place for next week’s party. Olga has provided a list of things you might want to bring along\, below; I’d like to add streamers\, strings of LED lights and anything else that will make the place festive. \nHere’s Olga’s list: \nI will provide the paper but please bring along the following if you can: \nPAIR OF SCISSORS \nGLUE \nSELLO TAPE \nSTRINGS OF ANY SORT \nCOLOURS OR FELT PENS  \nHOLE PUNCHER \nPICTURES (or cutting from magazines) of Xmas theme. \nAnd any other thing you may already have that may be useful for decorations.  \n\nShould be a fun evening!

SUMMARY:Xmas Party
DESCRIPTION:  \nFood\, drink\, games\, music\, general jollity \nUpdate 15th December\nChristmas Party Night\, 20th December\, is taking shape\, and you have a part to play\, so before I send out the full details here’s an early warning of your part in proceedings: \n\nNobody’s washing up\, so you need to bring your own supplies of eating and drinking equipment – and take it away afterwards. Plate\, knife\, fork\, glass\, mug . . .\nHot food will be laid on\, but we’d love to see some tarts\, pies etc. Show off either your baking skills or your purchasing power. We aim for many people bringing modest amounts – you don’t need to feed the whole party.\nBooze and soft drinks: BYOB is the watchword. We’ll supplement your offerings with our remaining supplies of beer*\, Coke and Fanta\, and we will lay on a little wine\, but if you have a particular preference then please bring it along.\nSecret Santa: please read Ireen’s email on this (below) – you have all weekend to cruise the markets and malls!\nWear something festive\, and above all enjoy the evening!\n\n* mostly the dozen bottles of African stuff left over from Lynn and Kayode’s presentation in June – sorry\, the really nice Nigerian Guinness all went . \nFull programme to follow. \n  \n\nIreen’s Secret Santa email\nDifferent COPSErs will be adding to different parts of the party.  The following might be something some of you would like to be involved in. \nWe’ve had “Secret Santa” pressies in the past but some folk prefer not to have individuals’ names to be bought for.  Consequently\, if you would like to gain a surprise gift this year\, simply buy something that you think would suit anyone of your gender.  (I hope that doesn’t add complications!)  If you are a man\, buy for a man\, if you are a woman\, buy for a woman.  The suggestion is to purchase anything that might be nice for someone else in said category to receive but costing only £3 to £5.  Bring the wrapped pressie\, pass it to me and you will be given a ticket to show you are “in” the process and “Mother Christmas” will give you something else in return\, during the evening.  (Do please get in touch\, if I have failed to clearly convey the idea!) \nHappy times ahead – party on! \nRegards\, \nIreen Best

SUMMARY:Post Xmas Walk from Tadworth to Merstham
DESCRIPTION:The walk is roughly 8 miles and involves no uphill sections. We pass the Sportsman Pub in Mogador and the cafe and loos at Reigate Hill. Halfway along there is a great reveal\, where we walk out onto Colley Hill on the North Downs\, with massive views to the South. \nAll of this is dependent on the trains. It’s a linear walk so unsuitable for driving.  \nRe the trains\, we can’t be sure of the schedule\, recovering from the earlier planned industrial action\, with “late starting”.  \nTo allow for the late starting services\, the plan is to assemble at East Croydon at 10:30 for the timetabled 10:44 to Purley\, then taking the 11:00 to Tadworth. There are two trains to Tadworth per hour. Trains back from Merstham are fast\, taking 12 minutes\, twice an hour\, at 03 and 33. Merstham station will require a ticket to get back into TFL zones. \nIf the trains are totally off\, we can still assemble for 10:30 at East Croydon\, and take an alternative walk via bus.\nThe backup plan is the 403 bus to Hamsey Green\, walk to Coulsdon for the 60 bus back. The route follows the “South London Downs National Nature Reserve” almost all of the way. This option is down and up and up and down\, but still worth the effort. 6 miles\, so shorter but harder work. Meet at East Croydon Station at 10.10 to catch the 10:23 from East Croydon\, 10:45 from Purley\, arrive Tadworth 11:03 \nPlease note Train times to be confirmed. \nReturn trains from Merstham – hourly fast trains at 07 past \n  \n
