Meet Croydon Minster 9.30am. https://w3w.co/sheet.stop.fits Join the Wandle Trail. 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. But good news: Merton Abbey Priory, which was due to be closed until August, opens again this weekend and does contain, […]
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 […]
We will be at Sandparks Campsite, Widemouth Bay, Cornwall - just down the coast from Bude. The campsite doesn't have its own website, but you see details on Pitchup.com or ukcampsite.co.uk . The cost is £15 pppn, electric hookup is £8 per night. We can all camp together. There is a pub and chip shop […]

NOTE this is Plan B. The original Beckenham and Kelsey Park stroll has been affected by a tram strike, so Keith has come up with an attractive alternative. 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 […]

On this occasion we'll focus on the northern parts of the borough. Ful details of the Challenge are at the bottom of this page. You don't have to take on the Challenge though, […]

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.
An annual festival featuring folk and blues music, with food stalls and licensed bars. COPSE members will be in attendance and will be hosting a stall there.
