New to East Dulwich

[rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrqwef43]

Hi there, I'm moving to East Dulwich next weekend and wonderfully stumbled on this excellent forum and thought I'd throw my hat in the ring and see if y'all can help get me up and running. So...

1. I like sports. Any tips on cycling/squash/football and where to play them?

2. I need a job. I can probably do most things. Any good places to pick up some extra work in the area?

3. I've written (and published) a couple of books. They've been really well received but getting the word out there hasn't been easy (read: nigh-on impossible). Is there anywhere local I could sell them? I was even thinking of a little table in a street market, that sort of thing.

4. Someone told me there's a great organic veg place in East Dulwich; haven't seen it yet though.

5. I like building sheds. Anyone need a shed built?

6. Are there any open mic/acoustic nights around?

7. I think that's probably enough. :-)

Many thanks for reading and, of any answers and input, much appreciated.

Cheers!

Rory

1) There is often a thread in the What's On section about footballers teams.

2) Ditto. Not most things though. So you may get work before me.

3) I am a writer too though not a novelist. Go to REVIEW bookshop when you get down here.

4) SMBS on Lordship Lane.

5) No.

6) Yes, and with a queue several months long.

7) Welcome to this forum and the general area. It's fab. Hope you're here Saturday for the Peckham Rye Park fete!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you're into folk-influenced music, we have monthly nights Upstairs at the Mag (at The Magnolia on Lordship Lane) on a Friday when we have floorsingers/musicians. It's not open mic as there isn't a mic :))

You can check us out on our website

The next one is on Friday 10 September. If you want to sing/play, come down when the doors open at 8pm and put your name down. Depending on the number of people who want a spot, you will get at least one song and possibly more.

The acoustics are great, and it's a nice supportive audience.

Thanks for all the info! And apologies it's taken so long to say "thanks for all the info!" - hadn't clicked the little thing that tells you when people have written.

Rory - 11 days into East Dulwich life and very happy with it :-)
