The Herne Hill Velodrome is the oldest cycle track in Britain and was the venue for cycling for the 1948 Olympic Games. It is an important community asset contributing to the health and cultural prosperity of South East London.

A vigorous campaign has been mounted to save the Velodrome from possible closure.

A charitable trust has been formed to lease the Velodrome site from the freeholders, The Dulwich Estate, create new facilities and manage the operation of the Velodrome.

Trustees are needed with professional skills and/or ability to relate well with the track cycling and local communities.

These challenging voluntary appointments will provide opportunities to serve sport and the local community.

To express interest or find out more, contact one of the three initial trustees, Hillary Peachey, Peter King and Alastair Hanton at: [email protected]

They have arranged an open meeting at the Velodrome on Saturday June 4th 2011, from 10am to noon, or will be pleased to send you their briefing document.

- Stray/abandoned black cat seen on Dovercourt Rd/ Court Lane

  HI - did you see the other post from an hour ago about the same cat??? Can the neighbour knock on some doors locally? Could be a local oldie out and about but always worth checking out. I have a microchip scanner if anyone wanted to scan for a chip but am over in Nunhead [you'd have to contact a vet to get them to check any number on their database]. HP
- How to get broken bin collected without getting a replacement

  As above. I"m trying to request this for a neighbour who's not online. I've trawled through Southwark Council's website and can't find a way to get a broken bin taken away. SC's phoneline peeps only have access to the info on the website so they were useless. Only option seems to be to request another replacement. I daren't do that as last time they delivered a replacement but didn't taken away the broken one - don't want to end up with three bins. Many thanks HP

  I’m posting this message about a stray cat on behalf of my neighbour who isn’t on the forum. He says:- I discovered a cat who appears to be lost or abandoned at the corner of Dovercourt Road and Court Lane this morning. It is in very poor health. If anyone knows of someone who has lost a cat over that way, or knows of someone who could share this info then I’d be grateful. My number is 07860576698
- Election Time - 2024

  Loving the escalation of promises that the parties are spouting at the moment. The sound bites are great, todays are more prison places or more funding for mental health but as always the devil is in the detail. How exactly are they going to deliver each election promise? Throwing money at something is the start but then they have to build or train or recruit to make it happen which is where the real work to deliver occurs. Personality i'm taking anything each party says with a huge pinch of salt and then looking at how they will deliver to understand if its achievable or not. For example saying we will fix the NHS by giving it x billion doesn't explain where they will get the staff from to make change happen, Dr's and Nurses can't be trained in a week 😉 so where's the details of the plans behind the soundbites? Regardless the next 4 years, no matter who wins, are going to be hard and interesting.
