Hello All,


There has been a group of Dulwich people who have been fundraising for Oxfam for many years and we are now looking to get new people on board. We are looking for volunteers from the local area who will organise events from gala dinners to pub quiz nights and bridge tournaments.


We are having a meeting on Tuesday 13th July at The Crown and Greyhound in Dulwich Village from 6 - 8.30. It's a chnce to find out more about what is involved and find out more about Oxfam's work around the world. Please come along if you are free.


Local change, global impact.

Hi All,


Just a quick one to say the Dulwich Oxfam group are meeting tonight from 7pm in the Crown and Greyhound to discuss up and coming fundraising plans. A caleigh has been mentioned...Come along if you are free and see how you can get involved.

I think you probably mean "ceilidh". See


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9ilidh


I hope "Spell the word, "ceilidh"." doesn't come up in the pub quiz. If you are thinking of a Burns' Supper type event at the end of January then I may know a Scottish pedant who could be prevailed upon to read from the bard but not sure if the audience would get it.


Best wishes, Alec

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
