Travel:
If you are arriving by public transport, please use the TFL journey planner (https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/) to review your travel time and plan your journey to the restaurant.
If you are arriving by car, please use the awesome power of Google Maps to plot the best route - unless you have your own GPS.
Important notes:
- If you will be arriving after 7.15pm, please send Ben or Katherine a heads-up message. Sometimes restaurants request that unoccupied places are put up for grabs for walk-in customers so your place can't be guaranteed if you're unexpectedly late.
- The organiser fee of £2 per person (including guests) will be collected on the night, so please bring some coinage. We also ask that you stay until the bill is paid in full to be fair to everyone.
- If you cannot come, please change your RSVP in advance. This ensures members aren't disappointed in missing out. Regular "No-Shows", those who RSVP yes but don't turn up, will be removed from the group to enhance the experience for others.
- Croydon Brunch Club @ DD's Café + Banstead Woods WalkDD's Cafe, Coulsdon£2.00
DD's Café is a friendly café in Coulsdon that serves a good selection of all-day breakfasts, lunches, sandwiches and daily specials. It's earned very good reviews online! It's easy to get to from central Croydon (only a few steps from a 166 bus stop) and will bring us most of the way towards Banstead Woods where - weather permitting - we can go for a walk afterwards. Hopefully the bluebells will still be out, but if not it's still a lovely place to walk off a fry-up!

The Croydon Brunch Club is held on the 2nd weekend of every month.
It's an opportunity to meet others from in and around Croydon over a relaxed coffee or brunch, dished up by the great chef.
All are welcome to this informal and relaxed monthly gathering of the great and good of Croydon.
This is a social networking event and is not the place to pitch your business, dish out fliers or sign people up to services. Please contact organiser Ben if you would like to collaborate on something you feel is relevant to the group.
- Saturday Drinks @ The WoodmanWoodman, Banstead
The Woodman is a pleasant country pub near Banstead with bus links from central Croydon (the 166 passes nearby). More information about the pub can be found on its website, and directions and reviews can be found on Google Maps.
After an earlier brunch event in Coulsdon we will be heading for a walk in Banstead Woods and will be aiming to be at the pub for a well-earned drink by 4pm.
