Hike/short walk/BBQ
2016-07-24 11:00 - 16:00
We are offering two different-paced walks followed by a BBQ at the home of KLS members in Reigate. There will be a choice of routes: seasoned walkers can join Hilary and Clive for a medium length hike of 6 to 7 miles (meet at 10.50 am for 11 am start). Or for a gentler pace join the short walk meet at 12.45 pm. We will rendezvous at 2pm back in Reigate so any non-walkers can join us there for a repeat of last year’s delicious BBQ – please bring a salad or dessert to share. There will be a charge of £2/head to cover the cost of the BBQ food.
We need to know numbers for BBQ catering and any vegetarian or other dietary requirements so please RSVP by Wednesday, 20th July.

Table Tennis Club
2016-07-19 20:00 - 22:00 | NFJ Hall
2nd Tuesday of the month from 8-10pm
All welcome to join us for a friendly game of table tennis. We meet monthly, usually on the second Tuesday of the month, at the synagogue in the NFJ Hall. All ages and all abilities. The club recently received a new table in celebration of Robert Markless’s tutorship of 100 Bnei Mitzvah.
We have two tables and play singles as well as doubles. We usually end the evening with all around the table, when people have to keep moving around and hitting alternatively, losing a “life” every time they lose a point. After three lives, a person falls out. This continues until two left and they then play a best of five points singles. It can be very hectic at times, but good fun.
We took part in a national tournament in 2012 and won a trophy!
Please contact the Synagogue Office if you would like to join us
The new table tennis table is “christened”!!!

Picnic in the Park
2016-07-17 12:00 - 15:00
Come and join us for a picnic and games in Marble Hill Park in Twickenham and enjoy an afternoon with old friends and getting to know new members. If you are new or relatively new to KLS this is a great opportunity to meet other members! We will meet on the side of the park that backs onto Orleans Road (TW1 3BL). There is an entrance gate on Orleans Road with the Coach House Cafe ahead and towards the left; we usually meet on the green area towards the right before the cafe. Bring along a picnic, games, rugs and anything else you can think of! Parking is available on Orleans Road but on a fine day it can get busy so it may be necessary to use the car-park or to park on other residential roads nearby. There is also a café selling drinks and refreshments just a few minutes away from where we’ll meet. If you feel adventurous you can park at Ham House, on the other side of the river and there is a little ferry-boat that goes across from Ham House to Marble Hill Park. Just come off the boat, turn left and right and the gate to the park is there. That car park can get busy too on a sunny day.
