SUMMARY:UCL 200 year exhibition and St Pancras and Somers Town
DESCRIPTION:UCL 200 year exhibition and S Pancras and Somers Town visit Saturday 8th August \nHi everyone. \nWhere do we go?\nFirst we will visit University College London (UCL) in Bloomsbury.\nYou will see the 200 years anniversary exhibition and have a short tour of the campus including a quick visit to the Grant zoological collection and after that a stop for coffee and a lunch at the Gordon Square gardens cafe.\nThey sell beverages\, sandwiches and light snacks or bring your own lunch. \nThen we will visit the nearby St Pancras “New” church and a visit to the crypt art galley. \nFrom here we cross Euston Road and a short walk through Somers Town (which is located between Euston and St Pancras Stations north of Euston Road).\nSomers Town was reputed to have the worst slums in London until slum clearance during the early 1900’s.\nWe might be able to visit the tiny Somers Town museum (if its open!– I was told it was\, but it turned out to be shut last Saturday) on our way past 1920’s to 1950’s social housing estates to visit the “Old” St Pancras Church and very interesting churchyard. \nFinally we walk round the corner to the lovely Camley Street Natural Park which borders the Regents Canal which has refreshments and food and nice toilets!\nFrom here we are a few minutes from St Pancras Station and the Thameslink trains back to East Croydon. \nWhat do I bring?\nWater.\nFood for your lunch if you like.\nNo special walking footwear are required.\nA hat or brolly if its going to be hot or rainy.\nThe current forecast shows good weather. \nWhere do we meet?\nEast Croydon Station at 9.30 am on Saturday 8th August. \nI look forward to seeing you all!\nAndy

SUMMARY:Bike ride -  Horsham to Croydon
DESCRIPTION:Hi all.  I am leading a cycle ride on Sunday 30 August.  It will involve going out by train to Horsham and cycling back to Croydon.  Meet at East Croydon booking hall at 8.55am sharp.  (Or join train at later stations\, see below.)  Preferable already with your ticket.\n\nIt will be possible to avoid cycling the whole route back to Croydon by catching a train from somewhere on the line between Horsham and Croydon.  (e.g. Merstham)  You should adopt a flexible and patient attitude.  The precise route back to Croydon will not be known until we are underway.   Therefore it is not possible to say how long the ride will be.  Having said that\, I aspire to come back over Farthing Downs and likely a fair bit of Brighton Road from Coulsdon north (rail geek pun).   The whole route would likely be between 30 and 40 miles.  We have the whole day.  Few big hills!\n\nBring some food / snacks and plenty of drink to keep you going.  We will hope for a cafe or pub stop or stops along the way but a full pub meal cannot be guaranteed.\n\nGetting there\nThe train I intend to catch is the 9.12 Thameslink service to Horsham (arriving 10.06).  This is a slow stopping service but the benefit is the generous space on such a train for lots of cyclists.  Cos obvs I’m expecting  hoard!  The disadvantage is it only hourly.  Bring a packed breakfast / coffee!?\n\nThe train will call at these intermediate stations:  Purley 9.17; Cousldon South 9.21; Redhill 9.31; Gatwick Airport 9.44.\n\nAs it is a Thameslink service\, don’t buy the ‘Advance Single’ for use only on Southern trains.  I suggest buying an anytime single which is £17.60 or get a third off with a suitable railcard.\n\nThe cycle will be predominantly on road.  Or off road tracks with a firm cycling surface such as a bit of the ‘Downs Link’.   So very narrow tyres will be uncomfortable.\n\nLook forward to seeing you.\nAndrew\n07985 936953

SUMMARY:Carshalton EcoFair 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hi all\nI am promoting the Carshalton EcoFair that takes place on bank holiday Monday.  Used to be known at Carshalton Environmental Fair.\nHeld in Carshalton Park\, Ruskin Road\, 10.30am to 8.00pm.  Live music and entertainment\, “inspiring ideas\, great food and family activities”.\n\nIf you’d like to travel together\, meet at bus stop E8 adjacent to East Croydon station on Dingwall Road (outside BoxPark) at 11.55am to catch bus SL7.  We will arrive at the fair approx. 12.30pm.  £10 entry fee.\n\nWe don’t have to stick together at the fair.  I expect we will bump into each other as we amble around.\n\nI expect a mat to sit on might be helpful.  They may allow folding chairs\, please investigate yourself.  Hat\, sunscreen\, water bottle etc.\n\nEcoFair 2026 – EcoLocal(opens in new tab)\n\nRegards\nAndrew
