Ah, well done Elli! And thanks for organising the facebook group. As an aside do you know if what we post on the winter baby club wall on fb is only visable to members of that group or is it seen by everyone? Bit of a numpty when it comes to such things.


I agree that it would be really lovely to see any of the mums that came along to the pre baby meet ups but haven't, for whatever reason yet been to the post baby meets. I was just saying to Mr Tomo what a lovely bunch you all are. I feel very lucky to have had this thread and the opportunity to meet you all!

Hi,


Good question! I was wondering whether to put this info in the above post but decided it might be a bit wordy if I did!

The fb group is a closed group - anything that is posted is only visible to members and only members can post. Becoming a member is by request or invitation but any member can accept a request or offer an invitation. The only reason for making it a closed group was so that people can put their addresses up for a gathering or other details without worrying that they were available to the whole world.


Tomo, I also feel very lucky to have this thread, I've met some really lovely people through it and would love to catch up with some that I met pre baby. I didn't do NCT and baby arrived before my third NHS class so I have really appreciated the community of this thread for support and shared love of cake.


x Elli


PS Thank you again Family Room Moderator for setting up the thread in the first place!

Thank you so much Elli for being so clever, technical and organised, this is wonderful to have. I can only third the comments above about the genius of this thread. Having not done NCT this time round, I've loved having the chance of meeting all of you that would never have happened without it. Thanks also Tomo and Elli for clarifying who can see the comments on the Facebook page - twas wondering that meself! x

I am afraid I am one of those ones that came to the earlier pre-birth meets and have never been seen since. Sorry! I think I got lucky with a supportive ante-natal group and then on other days I just didn't manage to make it out of the house!

I've joined the group on facebook and would like to try and come along to meet some of the babies at some point in the near future.

Lovely to hear the group has been such a lifeline for so many - hoorah for the East Dulwich Forum!

Hi all


Haven't been on the thread in ages! Glad everyone is well and interesting to hear about FB group.


Wondered if anyone is going to take toddlers to the Hornimann next Tuesday afternoon (28th August) for the 3 Billy Goats Gruff performance?


Thinking of taking Oli out of nursery for it and hoping its a nice afternoon for a picnic

      Dulwich Pool Discussion

      By ctovey · Posted

      Silver swim is still a lane swim.  However, the slow lane is pretty relaxed. I have recently had a knee replacement, so I mostly walk in this lane exercising my leg on the way!  You can book a week in advance i.e. for a Tuesday swim, you can book on the Monday a week prior after 10pm.  Likewise for the Thursday swim, you can book on the Weds a week prior after 10pm.  It gets booked up pretty quickly, there often aren't any places the day after booking opens.  Other than that, keep an eye open for cancellations, especially a day prior. Good luck!

      How can councils reduce social housing element? Is this just London or through out UK? Housebuilders making enough money as it is!!  When are housebuilders going to understand their social responsibilities — with a shortage of property throughout UK, guess like everything, does not matter whuch Govt in charge… back handers, mates blah blah.. Been going on for years…  Europe as a whole, well most of them can find ways of supporting homeless with pods etc, turn containers into housing and we in UK? Do what? Govt - all for some extraordinary reason are not accountable for mis using tax payers money.. NHS not held accountable either for mis use of funds and yet, we expect and complain if  overworked doctors, nurses etc are doing their best in a very difficult situation. Years ago, wrote a paper on elderly care, bed blocking, dementia and no plans going forward to accommodate or in deed plans in place to sort out social care.. No wonder, medical professions are looking to work or relocate abroad..  Simply do not get it at all.. changing names of govt departments to something what? Acceptable in 21century is not going to solve the problems… Same goes for police, fire department, ambulances, schools etc.. only sector that seems to be having and have had for years, monies and support is sport…  Education is in same situation - having to ask for donations for books, musical instruments etc and now expected to train toddlers in how to use utensils for food, provide food and train/assist  potty training to use of toilets…plus normal teacher and or assistant duties. Not even going to go down route of SEN needs… Rant over..

      Plasterer recommendation. Michael Lawless

      By CMW · Posted

      I completely agree.  Mickey did some work for a couple I know and from this, I asked him to do some plastering for me.  He works to a really high standard, is reliable, fair priced and very clean and considerate.  He does the work himself, so you do not get random people coming to your home.  If you are looking for a trades person MJ Lawless Plastering Services is your person.  His number is 07930 678 989

      Current status of Planning Application 24/AP/2314 is the approval document was published 31 December 2025 with effect 1 January 2026.  https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/files/E5F5EC6005598720843BC00D7E6A7D11/pdf/24_AP_2314-DECISION_NOTICE_-_MAJOR_-_GRANT-4194604.pdf It has 41 conditions many of which must be confirmed via further applications into Southwark Council before works on site can begin. I've not seen any applications to start discharging those conditions yet - amazed some of these have not been prepared by the developer. No work of any kind is allowed on site until some of those conditions are discharged. Additionally the sites proximity to the rail tracks means Network Rail will have to be heavily involved. My work experiences with Network Rail would suggest quite some delay will come rom them alone.  With the national government and Southwark Council planning to reduce the proportion of social housing from 35% to 20%, and some schemes in Southwark are now only provided 2% social housing. It would be amazing if the developer doesn't seek an amended viability appraisal to reduce social housing for the scheme or even taller buildings.
