Hi,


I've been a (quiet) member of the EDF for a while now, and hope you all can help. I've signed up to take part in a charity cycle challenge in Febraury 2011 in aid of MAG - The Mines Advisory group. We'll be cycling over 450Km from Saigon in Vietnam to Siemp Riep, Cambodia over 5 days. MAG work hard to clear landmines and other nasties left behind once a conflict is over. More information about the event can be found here:

As a way to reach our fundrasing target of ?6000 I'd like to offer you all in home tech support or troubleshooting in exchange for a donation to MAG, ideally in the region of ?25 - ?30 for an hour. Ulimatley though, the amount you donate is entirely up to you.


I have an extensive background in all aspects of IT support having worked professionally in the more techy areas of IT for 10 years now, and I used to run a support company while living in Brighton. I can help with anything you need including fixing that troublesome printer or PC that's slowed to a crawl, virus/trojan removal, system reinstalls, backups, buying advice, hardware upgrades, training and a myriad of other techy tasks.


I'm an ED local, and available most evenings and weekends to help you out of your IT hole, so if you'd like to know more or to discuss any issues you might want me to help with please either PM me through the forum or give me a call on 07967 325724. If you know of anyone else in the area who's not an EDF member but you think would be interested, please feel free to pass my details on.


Thanks for your time.


Simon

Hi,


I hope it will be! At that time of the year it's about 40 degrees and just a little bit on the humid side, so it's going to be very tough.


Yes, donations can be made directly through our page on Just Giving, this is the address:

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      A reminder that this is the post-festival litter I collected a week or so after the Council had signed off Gala's litter picking activity and reopened the park to the public. For clarity this was a result of just wandering around the stage, tent & toilet areas in the south of the site for about an hour. Not difficult to see, far from a focused, professional 'pick', and not comprehensive - there will have been loads more spread over the rest of the site, which is probably still there now. Apart from being unpleasant, there's a safety aspect here - kids & dogs picking up bits of glitter balls, shards of plastic cups, baggies containing white powder?? I collected a similar amount the previous year.  I contacted Charlie Simm (Events Team) for her reaction (cc'd Renata Hamvas & Victoria Mills, Peckham Rye councillors) and received no response. When VM thankfully followed up as to all why the litter picking wasn't satisfactory, and what actions were planned to remedy this, CS just escalated it as an official complaint. This complaint was dismissed a few months later with the comment that, apart from the cable ties, there was no proof that the litter had come from the festival. RH has remained silent throughout all my correspondence. I've considered doing a comprehensive litter survey before & after the event to categorically guage the impact of the festival, using metre squares and approved methodology, maybe even inviting relevant students as a project, but I feel whatever the results, they would just be ignored by the council - completely pointless.

      Mugging on Dunstans Road 12/11/25

      By Frenchpolisher · Posted

      Just a quick note that my son was mugged last night on Dunstans Road just after 6pm. Two youths on bikes with balaclavas stole his phone, headphones and driver’s license near the mansion block next to Dawson’s Heights. Please be vigilant when walking in the area after dark.

      They clearly don’t.  I would expect better from the council.  Rather dismally, it sounds like any complaints or requests just fall on deaf ears.
