Hi CharlieCharlie and the other kind people who have volunteered to help Gardens for schools we now have the Garden container beds sponsored and Constructed by local tradesmen, Mcgovern Carpentry. We have groundwork Southwark who will be supplying the labour for the transportation and placement of the Garden beds. We are elated with how everything is developing, hopefully the gardens for schools will officially start once we have spoken to the Headteachers of the schools. Thanks again ED, Community action rocks :)-D

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered, this project means a lot to SNUB and we are so thrilled it means so much to the people of East Dulwich Thanks again

Thanks you Lady muck you are very generous, the response has been amazing, I will email you when we are nera planting stage.

Hi Suzanne Il email you nearer the time, we are in the planning stages at the moment. Kristymac thank you for the offer, Please keep hold of the courgettes and tomato plants, we need seeds and plants, il email you nearer the time Can you pm me your email, Suzanne I have your email. Thanks again ladies.

Sorry to hear that clare, I have your email, we will contact you really soon

Thank you Peckhamrose, Its a community project and we would love to get everyone in the community involved from making the containers to planting and contributing/donating a little time.

Thanks Charlie for the compliment, can you pm me your email address, so I can gather a list of volunteers to delegate too. If there are any Teachers from the schools I have mentioned or parent goveners who would like to help please pm me. Marilyn will be speaking to the schools in the next few weeks to organise the start of the project.

Hi All Hope you are well, just wanted to let you know about SNUBS new project. Marilyn and I recently applied and was awarded Cleaner greener safer money to pilot a scheme in East Dulwich. The scheme is food composting on a commercial level. We have these lovely eateries who serve yummy food, and no doubt a little gets thrown out, instead of sending it to landfill we want to use the waste food and turn it into compost for the local allotments and local schools. This is where the next project comes in, we have also received a very small amount of money for container garden beds for the local schools, Goodrich, Heber, Goosegreen and Summers house. In the next few weeks we will be approaching parents/Teachers and local tradesman to help with the construction and development of the container garden beds. Hopefully in the next few months our local children will be growing their own veg. We will need volunteers, I have approached a local tradesman,but if you have green fingers and a little free time please pm me or email me [email protected] Thanks ED SNUB

East Dulwich SNUB were looking in to organising a big lunch for Dulwich. We would ideally like to close Lordship Lane down. However the logistics seem to be a nightmare, Plus Southwark Council have confirmed we cannot close a main road down for a day or even a afternoon. Funnily enough though Notting hill seems to do it annually. If you have any more thoughts about a street party on Lordship Lane guys, then lets brain storm. We may have missed the Community council fund, but there are other funds available. Big Lunch- Street party for East Dulwich is a great idea, lets do something about it.!!!:)-D

Eileen has been amazing with her local campaigning and I hope she carries on the good work. Eileen If you would like any help please pm me. Thanks

Thats great really happy for the winners and for East Dulwich

Well why cant we have more then 1 crush? I wouldnt mind a three way with Christian Bale, David Tennant and Rhys Ifans, with Nicholas cage as back up. oohhh nice

Hi Goosegreen fair on the 10th May, its part of Dulwich festival contact Angela Burgess at SE22 Magazine, for stall availability

What a great idea, similar to free cycle, I have rescued brand new blinds from a skip outside whitehall and now they adorn my mother in laws conservatory in Belfast.Very good idea

Eliza drink water and vegetable juices, homemade is better they will help, your body naturally detoxifies itself anyway, but vegetable juices will help. Good luck

David we all have a right to own beliefs and opinions, LRon asked me to explian Homeopathy, my post was not to convince it was to explain. I have done it. This will go on and on for years to come. Look forward to reading the rest of the debate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 2 for the sceptic (scepticism's OK - really!) Does homeopathy work - well, does it? The test of homeopathy is whether patients get cured - not whether it can be made to fit into a trial who's paradigm provides a way to justify giving potentially lethal drugs to patients as being safe enough to be in their interest (so called 'scientific' trials).Thousands upon thousands of patients the world over swear by homeopathy and they have been treated for virtually all ailments known to mankind Do you actually know what homeopathy is? Really? If you don't really know what homeopathy is, how can you make any judgements about it? (hint: you can't) Find out what it is first, not what you think it is. All the disdain, scorn or ridicule I read about homeopathy is based either on assumptions, supposition, ignorance or laziness, or a combination of all four. Much of it is deliberate misinformation masquerading as evidence by those with a vested interest. Is that really the intelligent way to approach a subject? An open mind will be required. Is homeopathy dangerous? Not compared to orthodox Western medicine, where thousands (*106,000) of patients a year die from the effects of its medicines. How does homeopathy work? It's one thing to be sceptical, quite another to be prejudiced. Admitting you don't understand something is the first step to discovery. If you are the sort who prefers to find out for themselves rather than be told what to think, keep reading, if not, keep bleating. It may take time and be challenging to understand but do persevere it will be worth it. Start with the information on this site or explore the web where there is a huge amount of positive information and understanding waiting for you. In my experience sceptics of homeopathy require only one thing to accept homeopathy, and that is to be treated themselves (by a qualified homeopath!) and see it work for themselves. Is there any proof it works? Homeopathy has been proven to be effective. Yes proven. The proof is there in medical records across the world - proof. Unequivocal: e.g. the categorical proof that it cures cholera. So what have you to lose by exploring homeopathy, why not see if it works and work out how later? Can I treat myself with homeopathy? That really depends what you are trying to treat and how well informed you are. There is no reason that you cannot treat yourself and your family for common acute ailments - if you are well enough informed about homeopathy. On the other hand if you are not well enough informed, i.e. if your prescribing is not effective or the condition more serious than you realise, it can be a case of a little knowledge can be a bad thing if you try to treat conditions that are beyond your experience. Better to consult an expert in the first instance. What about 'off the shelf' homeopathy? I do not endorse the new legislation that allows medical claims to be made for specific remedies or combinations of remedies, not because I believe they are dangerous in themselves, but because that is not the correct way to apply homeopathy, it is very 'hit or miss' and the public could quickly become disillusioned with homeopathy if they think that is the best it has to offer... it certainly is not! Why does homeopathy get bad press? Why all the hoo hah? Some people really get hot under the collar about how homeopathy just cannot work - a classic case of wearing coloured glasses and proclaiming that everything has to be that colour. Some peope make a living out of knocking homeopathy. Corporate funding and vested interest is allegedly behind a lot of the media reports. I have not yet seen a single article or report or test against homeopathy that does not fall apart when properly challenged. But the challenges go unreported and anyway by then the damage is usually already done; the readers know no better and believe what they read. Yet all the while people continue the world over get cured by homeopathy. So if you want to see the 'good press' on homeopathy not the anti-homeopathy propoganda ( that's what it is) then checkout the alternative health magasines and online resources. So who's right? Some very persuasive speakers hold very anti-homeopathy views. As do most chemists and pharmacists (and who seem to think 'science' means 'chemistry'). That is their view and they are welcome to it, but homeopathy works despite their disbelief,. they are simply expressing the limits of their understanding, of their world view, and they are not prepared to accept anything outside of that. It's not an arguement worth persuing with them. As an intellectual debate you can take whichever side you prefer, however if you are unwell and need a cure, then a debate about who's right is not what's needed; what's needed is action: see the (qualified!) homeopath, get your remedy, either it will cure or it won't. Debate over.

Lron may I suggest you read a book called Homeopathy for the sceptic. I only post on here when I have cause to, this thread has given me cause to post. I also Suggest you read the Lancet. LRon We all have a right to our opinion, we are a democratic society, however your approach is aggressive, Dismissive and just rude. You remind me of another poster on here who has the same approach.

DD your points have been valid all the way, but may I give you some advice, there is no point disagreeing about Homeopathy with people who dismiss, comment and assume. I have been on this pathway with another person Just like the people you are disagreeing with, and its not worth it. I know it works, you know it works opinions of the narrowminded should be ignored. I am in my second year of Homeopathy, and I assure you its more then water.

Yeah Big badwolf Eateries want to make something of it, Eateries Eateries Eateries alright

Lol Brum and Dulwich mum oh yes I must say the guy doing the pushups as supplied plenty of material for my fantasies mmmm
