Informal Art Groups in or around ED?

I would certainly join an art club! -

I am in a parking zone in Camberwell. Yes the residents can park easier now BUT there are lots of downsides. I'd say partial timings is the only way to go (everywhere in the UK). -

I rang them but no joy - maybe I'll try again.

Not sure where I can post this - "Wanted ? a friendly volunteer walking companion" My husband (72) would appreciate someone to pop round mid afternoon (usually any day of the week) to accompany Nick (and his cute little Dachshund Diggory) for a very slow walk round the block, or to a local caf? (free tea and a bun of course) or the local park. Would suit an active pensioner or someone looking to enhance their CV or a young person doing their Youth Award (or similar). Must be a friendly reliable volunteer who is not in a hurry (each walk could be around one hour). Around the Bushey Hill Road area (SE5 8QF)

People often knock on doors around the Lyndhurst area (near Peckham Rye station ). They come with identity cards and start asking for money for various things. Difficult to know who's genuine and who's not. But calling at 8 pm or 9 pm probably isn't a good idea. Does anyone know about these callers?

Thanks for info. Laptops now taken but will certainly look at Pellatt Road too. HOW DO I TAKE OFF MY DATA THOUGH?!!

We have a couple of 5 yr old working laptops - do we recycle (if so, where / to whom?) or demolish? (Southwark doesn't seem to have a computer recycling unit). Advice please!

Thanks to everyone plus private messages. Could the administrator please delete this thread as it seems to have personal details on here. Again thanks everyone as the incident was quite upsetting.

There is a new food market taking place each Saturday morning at the Peckham Academy (entrance Lyndhurst Way near Rye Lane). Most of the stall holds are knowledgeable and friendly but just be aware of the change you are given. One stall holder gave us change for a tenner when we gave a twenty pound note. Very unpleasant experience. We pointed out the mistake twice but nothing doing. Does anyone have the contact details of the organisers?

55 - 65 year olds - where do they go?

Yes I am still here! I couldn't understand it either when this thread re-appeared! However I am fantastically grateful for all these suggestions and I hope everyone else is too. Lots there to think about and choose from! We almost need a welcoming committee to East Dulwich / Peckham / Camberwell. Might be a thought to have an event once a year at the Liberal Club (near Peckham Rye station) where all these different interests can be displayed and discussed. Thanks again everyone x -
Someone chopped our bush with an axe just outside our garden (it grows through the fence)- we reported it to the police who said they would send someone round from the Safe Neighbourhood Scheme - it's now a week later and we have not seen anyone. We are not bothered about the bush (we made this clear on the phone to the police) but we are bothered about someone feeling able to be destructive in a public place. Low level vandalism needs to be nipped in the bud (forgive the pun) - just like the Mayor of New York said 'Zero tolerance is the way to go'. What if we were a 'vulnerable' couple relying on the police for support? What then?

What's happening on rye lane? it looks bad.
