Hi,


I am looking for some clubs for my 10 year old daughter in and around Dulwich. Not sure what exactly, maybe something active or creative. She enjoys playing the guitar and recently went to a school holiday club where they did lots of running around type of games which she really enjoyed. I am just wondering if there is anything similar which is on after school or Saturdays?


I have also enquired about Brownies. Any suggestions welcome :)

There's a fun drama club on Saturday mornings at Goose Green School (http://www.eastdulwichacademy.org/drama/).


If your daughter is 10 she's actually old enough for Guides, which don't tend to have as big waiting lists. I think you have to go through the centralised Girl Guides registration process if you want to join a local group and they will tell you where there are places (I'm not 100% sure about this as my daughter started at Brownies so it was a more straightforward process to 'graduate' up, but I'm sure someone will put me right if that's incorrect!).

Badgers/Cadets ( St John's Ambulance) at Tell Grove Church Hall on East Dulwich Road is good. They do creative things as well life saving skills and holiday camp.

As a Cadet, you?ll take part in a full and interactive programme, working towards your Grand Prior Award and volunteering at events.


You can:


? learn first aid skills

? volunteer within your community by providing first aid cover at public events, such as football matches and music festivals

? learn leadership and public speaking skills by teaching first aid to other young people

? spend time on weekend residential camps packed with activities, and have the opportunity to compete in international first aid competitions.

There are drama classes that are organized by Margaret which are really lovely. (she with her team runs Juke Box drama) They are starting new classes at Rye Oak school on Saturdays


Here are some of the details:


9 AM Nova dance Kids - age 5 ? 8


10 AM Juke Box Drama kids - age 5 ? 8

Each class lasts an hour and the cost is ?5.


I understand they are starting this Saturday and you could go along to one of those to see if suitable.

    • The original post was made by someone else, not the person whose post I was replying to! And the original post only mentioned Whateley Road (which has been clear of leaves whenever I have walked down it) and another unspecified road. My question was directed at CPR Dave, who (as was clear in the post I quoted)  said "The streets round here are a disgrace".
    • We had a delivery from Matoom last week. Sadly, as I had high expectations, especially as it wasn't cheap, I was underwhelmed. To start off with  positives, the corn cake starter was ok, and my partner said his green curry and coconut rice was tasty. I  (unadventurous I know but I wanted to do a direct comparison with Chern Thai) had Pad Thai (with tofu and veg). There was a lot of it, which was good. So much that I had half of it cold for breakfast the next morning. However, it was almost completely noodles, with hardly any veg or tofu. In fact there was so little tofu I don't actually remember eating any.  I do remember thinking that the stirred in egg must be some kind of tofu. I'm wondering now whether they were busy and forgot the tofu altogether! As it didn't come with peanuts (which I knew in advance as they weren't mentioned on the menu) I ordered a peanut sauce (?) separately, though I can no longer see this on the online menu. This didn't really help much taste wise  For comparison, we both had Pad Thai for lunch yesterday (Saturday) at Chern Thai, with gyoza to start. The Pad Thai was fantastic, good sized portions with lots of tofu and several different kinds of  really fresh lightly cooked vegetables.  The gyoza were also excellent, just the right amount of crispiness and with a good amount of dipping sauce. The meal  was also very well priced. I realise it's not very fair to directly compare the price of delivered dishes to dishes from  an eat-in lunch menu, but in terms of overall value it was much better. And the service was lovely. In case our Matoom delivery  was a one off glitch, we will book a table and eat in there, but so far I am disappointed. ETA: Just realised this thread is about BYO. Chern Thai used to be solely BYO, but it now has a full drinks menu with Thai beer on draught and  wine. You can still BYO, but there is a charge. We had jasmine tea, which was very nice.
    • Hi Angelina - whilst I’m not close enough to this decision (as a candidate not a councillor), I would hope there will be public consultation if this situation arises again next year. As a local resident, I will push for this, if I do become a councillor. Hello - I will ask for this to be updated as soon as possible, as I appreciate people will be looking for this info!
