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

    • Would you like a copy of my spreadsheet? It's hours of fun.
    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
