Stewart who will be running the maintenance class, is also a local Cycling instructor. Southwark residents can sign up for free road safety lessons http://www.cyclinginstructor.com/. Stewart, will be running the EDSNUB Bikes for Schools project, Marilyn Donahue my fellow Snubber is returning home to the states.

Hi James Do you know what the speed limit is on Lordship Lane? I thought it was supposed to be 20mph? Can you confirm this, and if so, can the council post signs either on the side of the lane, or paint it on the lane. Its really dangerous crossing the lane. Thank you

Where has LM gone? Why has she gone? Come back LM, wherever you are my sweet x

Hi James, can you confirm what is happening with the Adoption and fostering Building on East Dulwich Rd? I heard on the Invisible grapevine, that it may be a young offenders Institute. Can you confirm this? Thanks

Hi there kind folks of East Dulwich. Thank you all for your bike donations, the bikes are now in full working order and have been donated to the various Schools in the area. EDSNUB have been awarded a grant from the Cooperative community fund to extend the project, so I am now again asking for more bikes, so please if you have any old unwanted, unused bikes, which are not beyond repair, please take it along to BC Bikes on the East Dulwich Road. Then lovely Alex and Richard will repair them, ready to donate them. EDSNUB have also been awarded money by Grassroots grants, delivered by the community Development foundation, to fund a growing project at the East Dulwich Community Center on Darrel Road. If you are interested in what EDSNUB are getting up to these days, please look at our website www.eastdulwichsnub.co.uk Its more then just the bag.:)-D

A tea shop that stays open until 12am, (1am Fri and Sat) an alternative to pubs and bars. I am tea total and will not go into a pub or bar, but I still want somewhere to go till the wee small hours of the morning. Peppermint tea Rocks >:D

Happy new year, to all of the Forumites I will see out 2010 with love and see in 2011 with Gusto. Enjoy xx

Thanks Ghostdog, could you take them along to BC bikes on the East Dulwich Road? Thank you for your kind donation

Hi its me again, still asking/begging/pleading for more bikes, please if you have a spare one knocking around, please donate it to the cause.:)-D Thanks

HI Guys we still need more bikes, we also have a Free bike repair workshop for the ED community coming up in November, watch this space

Hi Ghostdog sorry for the late reply. The schools involved are Goosegreen, Summerhouse and we are waiting for 2 others to confirm participation. We still need more bikes, so please donate whatever you have and you no longer want, it all goes towards road/safety awareness courses for the local children. Thank you

MM I also like the northerners, great sense of humour and they dont take themselves too seriously. While we are on the subject of the north, love the Northern Irish accent on guys. (sorry girls) Everytime I hear the accent, I feel like I am being serenaded.(sighing rather loudly) I have left my heart in Northern Ireland. (still sighing rather loudly)

Nero thank you for that, I will try and contact them. What a brilliant Idea. And thanks to everyone who has sent me pms with helpful advice.

Thank you Sandperson, it will be well used

Hi Woof Thanks, yes we are working with the local police, they have suggested the police auctions. However we are exploring all possibilities, this is a community based project, and we would love the community to participate.

Hi all we still need more bikes, if you have any old bikes lying in the garage/garden/shed, please donate them to the Bikes for schools project Contact email [email protected] Thank you

Hi Thebestnameshavegone, this is funded through the Cleaner, Greener, Safer grant. It funds the repairs and the maintenance of the bikes. The project is based on diverting old unwanted bikes from landfill, and donating them to schools, to encourage children to get Road safe, savvy and healthy. Hope that answered your questions Thanks

Hi Sandperson That sounds great, if you dont mind emailing BC Bikes on the original post, they can arrange collection and storage Thanks

Hi there any size/age Thanks

Hi all We are slowly receiving bikes, for the bikes for Schools project, however we need more. So please have a rummage around in your shed, loft, garage. If you have a bike you feel you are not going to use, please donate it to us, via emailing BC bikes on the email, in the original post. Thanks

East Dulwich SNUB has been awarded a Cleaner Greener Safer fund to help repair old bicycles and donate them to schools. The bikes are fixed, then donated to the four local schools. The funding covers the maintenance of the bikes. The bikes will stay on School property, and will be used by the Children in Cycling proficiency, and other outdoor activities. With the help of BC Bikes and local residents' disused bicycles we can make this happen. Please email [email protected] if you would like to donate your old/spare/ bikes. Thanks

Can we get the British Military fitness guys with the tight buns and pecs to do a photo shoot on the exercise equipment, in thier shorts, then post the pics in Dulwich to entice the young and the fit?
