We'd obviously need to choose the music quite carefully as it needs to be loud enough for nobody to worry about kids running around and making a noise. There are other practical issues, not least that we have a very full schedule of gigs and Singarounds already this year, plus various other community events, and we'd like at least a few weekends free to see the grandchildren (who don't live in London)!!!! I'll have a word with the other half of The Goose aka FlapJackDavey and we'll see what we can do. Maybe we'll try one afternoon and see how many people come. It would obviously need to be worthwhile for the musicians. There are three community events coming up this year which have music in the afternoon and which children can come to: Sunday 13 May is the Dulwich Festival Fair on Goose Green, when we will be providing music all afternoon, as last year. Sunday 3 June is the Crystal Palace Road Street Party, ditto - all are welcome even if you don't live in Crystal Palace Road (just hope we don't get torrential rain this year :))) And sometime probably in August, there is the Aquarius Festival at the golf course, but we don't have a date or details for that yet. We have had an indoor stage there for the past two years but there will be an outdoor stage as well - thus catering for all weather eventualities (and musical tastes)! :)-D ETA: Musicians for all the above are still to be confirmed - but they'll be good!

Has happened to me in the past on AOL, I changed my password and have had no problems since. Touch wood :) Although AOL (or possibly the receiving server) blocked some of my outgoing emails for a while afterwards which was a bit of a nuisance, but it was only for a matter of days.

My daughter and grandchildren got ukuleles from me last Christmas so they could form their own ukulele band :))

Thanks everybody who came, we hope you all enjoyed it. The community garden made over ?1500 altogether, including ticket sales, which was brilliant. Those of you with kids, would you like us to put on further Sunday afternoon indoor music events? When we did a survey a year or so back nobody seemed interested in this, but that was possibly because the people who would have been interested were not at the evening event we gave out the survey at (grammar)!

This is TODAY folks! :)-D

This is today folks!! Do come along from 2pm onwards, don't forget Under 12s are free and adults only a fiver. The raffle will be drawn before Wizz Jones comes on, at about 6.45pm. :)-D

Tickets now on sale only from DHFC - hope to see lots of you there today to support this worthy cause (and to have a good time!) ! :)-D

I will be taking tickets offline early tomorrow morning so that I can print out the ticket list and go down to DHFC, so if you want to buy one after that you will need to come to DHFC! :)-D

.

We do hope to see lots of you at DHFC tomorrow, in a nice warm cosy room listening to some brilliant music all day and into the evening, buying raffle tickets and cakes, and helping your new community garden at the same time! You will be able to see the plans for the garden, and talk to some of the people involved - and volunteer to help if you feel like some outdoor exercise in 2012!

There is a folk choir starting on Tuesday 31 January which will practice Upstairs At The EDT if that sounds the sort of community activity you would be into. PM me if you'd like a contact email address (it's not being run by The Goose ) It will be doing three part harmony songs from Orkney, Scotland, Ireland and England.

Just a reminder that this is happening THIS SUNDAY !!!!

There is a new community garden just starting out in the grounds of Dulwich Hospital - they are looking for more volunteers: See this thread! The Goose Is Out! (aka FlapJackDavey and I) is running a fundraiser day for the garden this Sunday if you fancy coming along and meeting people involved with the garden - See this thread! ETA: Lots of brilliant live music and only a fiver, under 12s free! Come and meet some local bands as well!

We put musicians up there.

Latest updated list of fab raffle prizes now attached above! Thanks so much everybody for your support for this community project! :)-D

And don't forget, UNDER 12s ARE FREE!!!! :)-D ETA: There will be an informal jam session after the "official" Goose/fundraiser part of the day finishes around 9pm, so if you are still raring to go at 9pm the night will still be young :)

The sealed auction bids for the ?940 and ?450 items will start at only ?50 - so you could be in with a chance of a real bargain if you put a bid in! And help the community garden at the same time! :)

There was a thread on this ages ago - can't remember what section of the forum it was in though, it was in the Autumn I think.

I am so disappointed! I went out today to view these bottles and they had gone!!! Or have they been moved elsewhere? Or did I somehow miss them? :-S:))

Yeh that's true, duh :-$

Most if not all of these churches must surely have been there when people moved to their homes. It is obvious that many people are going to drive to them and will need to park somewhere when they are attending a service. Isn't it? Obviously I'm not condoning anybody blocking somebody's drive, but that's a separate issue. Unless it's residents' parking only (a can of worms) parking in a road is not restricted to residents! Whilst I understand the frustration, some of the comments above remind me of somebody moving next door to a pub which has live music and then complaining about the noise.

Here's the updated list of raffle prizes! Only a few days to go now, folks! Hope to see lots of you at DHFC (next to Sainsbury's) THIS SUNDAY 22 January from 2pm to 9pm for seven hours of top quality music plus the chance to win some brilliant prizes! Don't forget - tickets are only a fiver, you can come and go all day for that, and UNDER 12s ARE FREE! We won't be asking for proof of age, but as this is a fundraising day, we hope you'll be honest :)) Let's all get together and raise lots of money for this excellent local initiative - a garden that everybody in the community can be involved with and share :) And come and support six of our top local bands/musicians plus the legendary Wizz Jones - all for a fiver or free! They are all giving their time for nothing, including Wizz, in aid of the community garden, so we hope to have a good crowd for them! :)-D
