Great - anyone else - 7pm in G&B? An hour will definitely be fine - may be on the coffee myself. We will have to work out how to identify each other - I'll be the one in the cath kidston apron and matching rubber gloves!!! (only joking)

Sorry to be a pain but can anyone make Tuesday instead? and maybe a bit earlier say 7pm as that is when I would be walking back from work???? Also Katie (N1WI) could you make it along too to share advice and tips?

Yes - group effort would be great

Ok - The W.I have been in touch and have said to contact The Surrey Federation (as this County covers all of inner London based WI enquiries) on: 01483 233 230 Email Jo Vooght at: [email protected] Katie from the Islington W.I has also said that she would be happy to help/advise. At this point I am now snowed down at work and have tons to get on with so reluctantly cannot dedicate time to this. If anyone that is reading this forum can that would be great as there is definitely call for it.

Sorry I didn't mean to sound snobby - just get excited by new places popping up - but you are totally right there are lots of places that have been there for a lot longer than any of us and should stay and they all are important - too many new places might ruin Dulwich and E.D is special as it is. Iceland and Somerfield are great for the weekly shopping.:)

Thanks for that - not as exciting as I had hoped - would love to see a Wagamama style place or sushi, and somethign completely different as we have enough craft/gift shops. Love what they have done to Green and Blue's now and it makes an excellent place for lunch. Reading another post they are saying Bella Pasta in the Village is to be a Cafe Rouge!!! I think M&S food would be great instead of Iceland - that isn't a very Dulwich place.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the following: 1) The shop that was Karavan and has now been painted a nice shade of yellow with strip lighting inside - what is it going to be? 2) The old glass/mirrors shop - is that still gonig to be a clothes company - the White Stuff I think? 3) The Jamaican Restaurant (near Moxton's) has closed - what is that going to be? 4) Any other new additions anyone knows about (Wasn't there a whisper of an M&S Simply Food?) East Dulwich is great for all the exciting changes althoguh some are better than others - not sure how long that new kitchen shop is going to last down by the EDT.

Well I have emailed the W.I as they say to contact them in order to get help on setting one up in an area where there isn't one. It is definitely something I cannot take on on my own but there is indeed a lot of interest and possibly there would be others with more time. Let's see what the W.I say?

London West End WI (Surrey Federation): Dragon Hall Community Centre, 17 Stukeley Street, off Drury Lane, Covent Garden WC2; 3rd Tues, 6.30pm Wonder what that one is like?

Hi - back again - I will drop the N1 crew an email and ask them how they got started. I was thinking that somethign like this might work well if run by some of the people who put together the local magazines - like SE22 and Living South - are any of you guys on this forum? The N1 W.I sound really set up with membership fees fro the year and loads of interesting subjects covered etc... the trouble is finding someone who has the time to run it and out it all together - but E.D is crying out for this I think.

..................does this exist?????? Someone in E.D must have started something like this already or maybe we need to put out a campaign for one in SE22 mag.

Hmmmm Churchhall and 10am - that might not be along the lines we are thinking

I hope there is - but haven't found anything yet - also have a feeling it would be in the day if it did exist which I wouldn't be able to make. Let me know if you find anything

Hi, I read an article this weekend about a young and trendy Women's Institute group in Islington and wondered if there is anything similar that exists in East Dulwich. I like the idea of swapping baking recipes, learning new skills, crafts, talking about fashion etc. I am 27 and live in East Dulwich, but work full time so it would need to be an evening thing. Basically looking for an evening group in the area that I could go to once a week, I thought about a reading group too. Anyway would love to know if anything of this type exists - East Dulwich is the perfect area for some creative flair. Katie
