I had planned to go to the Wandle Industrial Museum just off the Wandle Trail but this does not open, I found out, until 2pm.

Another in our series of events capitalising on the vast intellects and literary leanings of COPSE members. Come along and tell us about a book you like, or even one you don't. Or give us a reading - prose or poetry. Or then again, just turn up to listen to the wisdom paraded before you […]

Later update: the tram strike has been called off, but we're sticking to the Streatham Stroll. Meet at Streatham Station (not Streatham Common or Streatham Hill!) at […]
This walk will form part of COPSE's 90th anniversary Challenge, overall visiting, appropriately enough, a total of 90 of Croydon's green spaces.

John will be leading the cycle ride and Ken the walk. Both walkers and cyclists will start by meeting near the War Memorial, outside Croydon Central Library on Katharine Street. […]
A light-hearted way to find out how much you already know about mapping and geography - particularly some places near to home. It'll be multiple choice, so nobody has to think too hard, and you might actually learn something. A fun evening in prospect.
