Hi all,


I'm just about to move to East Dulwich and was wondering if there are any good local rugby clubs?


Not looking to play to a massively high standard (like the beer aspect) but was hoping there might be a couple of teams looking for players for next season?


Cheers

Hi Gizzy


Nice to see another "rugger bugger" on the forum. (if that sounded ra then take as sarcasm). I personally play for Old Elthamians in Chislehurst (play in London 3 SE) as I have ties there (and it's a great club if you don't mind a short drive). Having said that the best local club I know of is Old Alleynians. Really nice clubhouse and good pitches (I'll avoid commenting on the changing rooms but most rugby clubs have this issue!). They play in Surrey 1 I believe so the standard is average but also competitive.


Any other rugby players on the forum???

Hi,


I'm a Welshman who coaches London Exiles who play in Surrey 1 but lives very happily in ED. The club trains on Wednesdays and play home matches in Barnes (not ED, but most clubs playing in Surrey 1 are west along the A3 anyway). We also run a seconds and Vets. If you're interested, let me know and I can provide further info - or have a look at our website.


Cheers,

Richard

Old Alleynians is a great club and very friendly! The Mini Alleynians tag rugby is brilliant too - a real labour of love for the coaches.


The season is about to end, but I believe there is a end-of-barbeque this weekend sometime, if you want to have a look.

you could also try King's College Hospital rfc - they've got a decent first team and suitably casual and sporting 2nd / 3rd teams, also, the griffin training ground in dulwich village is pretty nice also.


Along with the King's College Rugby club, its one of the oldest clubs in the UK and was a founding member of the rugby fottball union.

The Peckham Panthers were started by a very good friend of mine - one of the many other Mumbles and Swansea exiles in SE22 - and she's very dedicated, devoting a hell of a lot of time to the club. I'm sure she'd love to welcome some new recruits - the website is http://www.peckhampanthersrfc.co.uk/


There's a bit of a Welsh presence at the Old Alleynians, too. We get everywhere, boyo.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
