Hi,

I am seeing whether there are enough people out there in the Peckham Rye area who would like to meet up on a weekly basis and start running. On offer is a back to basics, friendly and supportive group dynamic to get people reaping the rewards of running outdoors.

I used to be a non runner and got myself up to marathon distance in recent years. The hardest thing is to get started, so I have a typical session here to tempt you...

Walk - Run - Walk (covering more distance running each week)

body weight exercises to build strength around the knees, ankles and hips

a thorough stretch to finish.

We will use the same route through the park as Parkrun so that you can familiarise yourself with the terrain and feel confident to take part in one of their free timed 5km friendly races on the Saturday of your choice.

Proposed times are Wednesday mornings before work 6.30/7am start and or Thursday evenings around 7pm start.

If you would like to get involved for an 8 week course of one session per week at ?50 (?6.25) per session, please let me know via [email protected]

(I am an advanced Personal Trainer, Pilates and Yoga Instructor based in East Dulwich)

Warm wishes,

Catherine

(I hope I've written this thread in the correct section of the Forum, a bit of a grey area as I'm just putting out feelers ATM)

- 4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

  It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton 🎩✏️
- GALA 2026

  Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed, which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
