Sadly that is not always the case as I am only one year away, though still think I'm twenty in my head.



The reason you may not be recruiting as many as you would like maracrippa,

is, if they are anything like me they are already doing it at home in their own garden.



Anyhow, now I know you have a gardening club in embryo,

posting the details of time, day, and address

might be useful to any would be gardening lurkers.

I will attend. I'm 42. Dont even think about preventing me from joining in - there are laws against discriminating against young people like me.

thanks so much for your emails and suggestions - and jokes (-; i know the criteria for the club are a bit strict, but unfortunately somebody else before me developed the project and that's what i'm dealing with. In reality the gardening club is for retired people who either don't have a garden or have mobility problems, but i'm sure some exceptions can be made for younger gardeners in their 60s who feel like coming to share a couple of hours every 2 weeks.Pass the voice on to your older neighbours, friends and acquaintances though - you never know. Thanks. Mara

hello, next tuesday 01 june, although i think the bulk of the group is going to turn up the following tue 08 june. Next week i might have a couple of people coming, and hopefully it'll be a nice day and we'll have plenty to do - the garden has exploded with energy and needs lots of TLC

    • Hi folks. A reply from Events re my questions: "Thank you for taking the time to send us this feedback.   We have an internal event debrief booked to take place on Thursday 18 July and all of the issues you have raised have been recorded and will be reviewed at this meeting. I will be able to respond fully to you after this meeting has taken place. There will also be an opportunity for local residents to attend a community debrief meeting. This is scheduled to take place at a venue close to the park w/c 22 July. This meeting will be facilitated by the GALA team, but council officers will be present also. Details will be circulated to those on the council’s stakeholder register and GALA’s stakeholder register and also to anyone who has complained about the event but does not have their contact details listed on either register.     If you have any further questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Charlie Simm         Senior Events Officer       London Borough of Southwark Email direct: [email protected]           Email general: [email protected]  Tel: 020 7525 2739" We must go to the meeting if you're invited because you made a complaint, or are on the list from being invited to the pre-Festival meetings.  
    • The Ivy House, lovely as it is,  doesn't book rooms for parties any more, to the best of my knowledge, except in exceptional circumstances. Though you could ask, in case things have changed again. The Castle has a nice function room upstairs, but I have no idea if they book it out  for private parties.
    • We use Virtuo when we go away for a few days, really nice cars (Merc GLA; BMW 1) that are new and clean. They can drop off the car to your house (or street) and pick it up at the end - again, not for a single day, but we tend to go for 3/4 days. Not the cheapest but competitive and for the great cars - we like it. There is also pick-up from ncp near Guy's Hospital. Here's a £30 off referral https://tinyurl.com/virtuoED if you're interested (yes I get that too).  I recently used Zip car for a daily rental-  was more expensive than virtuo rate (though local ED pickup was a plus) - but a 70k mile clapped out MG was a pretty terrible experience - squealy breaks, no suspension, the leather'ish drivers seat threadbare on right side. Surprised any car rental company could keep vehicles on the road that long.  
    • We always use Balfes and they are very good too.
