Anyone want to meet next week?? I'm thinking I need to start getting out, once the visitors have left...


I didn't make it to the French Cafe by Peckham - if everyone knows where that is it may be an easy target? How are people fixed for Tuesday? Entirely flexible if there is a consensus for an alternative date/venue.


Hope everyone is getting on ok, whether they be looking after the bundle or waiting for it to arrive!! (I'm finding time is VERY scarce these days, its just taken 28 hours to get a sainsburys order in!!)

Hi All,

Hi Clare,


Congratulations on the birth of your little boy!


We plan things through the forum, so if you follow it you will get the messages. Audrey suggested meeting next week on Tuesday. I am free from 11am till 3pm so happy to meet for coffee or lunch. How does it fit with everyone else?

Hi,


Coffee next Tuesday will be good for me. I can do anytime from 11 until 2pm.


Look forward to seeing bumps & babies then!


Can anyone suggest any good baby groups to sign up for in east dulwich/forest hill? My little girl is 5 weeks old now and I'm keen to know what's available locally.

I am back and very proud to introduce Rebecca Eva Amelia, born on July 2nd. Very stressful few days as was admitted in the day we started our move so poor hubby worked so hard to get everything done al by himself and I got back to a house full of boxes but we are nearly there now. Becca sleeps well so I manage to get a little bit done everyday (shouldn't I be having naps when she is asleep???)... Anyway I will pop along tomorrow with my little girl! x

I have nothing to do with this thread, hope you don't mind me butting in! Kapaxiana, I'm so pleased to hear of your little girl's safe arrival having met you a couple of months ago when she was still a bump, hope she likes the little ugg boots!! Take care.

Queen Mab, snap. I am going to be pregnant forever and ever and ever. I have two EDDs one of which is tomorrow and the other is Friday but it's all a moot point. I'll be one one of those bodyshock tv shows- the woman that was pregnant for five thousand years, or whatever. Aaaarrrgh.


My son is at his grandmas tomorrow, so will try and make it along! Maybe the newborns will release some lovely oxytocin?

Hi All,


Anyone up for a meet up this week? Shall we say Wednesday? Weather is a bit hit and miss unfortunately. How about the South London Gallery, its on Peckham Road between Peckham and Camberwell. Afternoon best for me, say 2.30?

    • Thanks for all of the thoughts. I have a letter from searches which outlines the scope of work but doesn't mention any work guarantee as far as I can see. I agree that next step is to check directly with the major works team. Tim .
    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
