Hi Bodsier,


I run movement workshops for parents and their babies/young children in Forest Hill and was really interested in your post. My groups usually are a bit holistic and therapeutic as there is playful movement time followed by some relaxation/bonding time. It's not a mini disco, but can involve music and usually has some fun props (such as parachutes) to help encourage playful movement.


A few people have mentioned to me in passing about having one-off groups for parents and older children. I thought I'd jump on your post to see if this sounds like something you would want to do with your son, and find out if this is of interest to anyone else here.


I could certainly look at putting something on in the near future. My next workshop dates for younger children and families is on March 18, but I have another date on April 29 when I could look at including an older family session too if there was enough interest!

Ha red jam, you made me chuckle. Firm footing, your workshops sound great, however I think my son is thinking more dance central songs ie Eric b and Rakim, Stevie Wonder, sister sledge and on a continuum, he just keeps going. Guess we need to have a party, we can just celebrate Spring.....
My daughter goes to a Street Dance class at her school run by an external teacher called Mickey. This term they're dancing to the new Bruno Mars track and last term it was Eve, 'Shake your Tambourine', so music wise it's not too far off the mark. She teaches Zumba at Beckenham Spa and I have a feeling you can take kids there too- might be worth calling them up and asking?

    • Hi there I am an experienced cat/dog/house sitter. If you are going away this summer and would be to know your house and animals are being taken care of well don’t stress I can help. I have experience across a range of breeds, rescued more animals than I can count and I am a qualified vet nurse.  Please get in touch with dates and location and hopefully I won’t be booked up. Happy to negotiate a good rate.    Contactable references available, current DBS available.    Many thanks  Trace  
    • What Firkins were they? The only localish ones I remember were the Phoenix and Firkin and the Fox and Firkin. The Plough has changed its name several times, and then back to the Plough, but to the best of my recollection the Uplands Tavern was named that until it became The Actress, and The Bishop was called something else whose name escapes me (though the smell from the gents lingers in my memory) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Firkin?
    • These statements were in the Consultation Findings report published (later than promised) just before the licence was granted:  "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year – please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" I've drafted an email to request some more details of these "free-to-attend" events, as "up to" is a fairly meaningless description - could be 100, could be none? - and therefore doesn't help anyone to decide whether it is actually a benefit to the community or not. Even if it is 100, I'm not sure I could name even one of them? "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the provision of a grants fund – the Cultural Celebrations programme - please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" A similarly meaningless statement in terms of gauging whether, or how much, this is a benefit to the local community. What is it, what does it do, how much of the fee goes to it? And how can the fee go "directly" to two different things? Surely, "directly" means without deviation, straight to, without being changed or reduced?? Again, I'll be asking all these questions to the events dept. I find it outrageous & insulting that a public body can try to justify such an intrusive & disruptive event with such flimsy and opaque "benefits", with zero figures or details to quantify them. They may as well not bother with a consultation, just say "Look, we can't be arsed to justify our decision, it's happening so just deal with it".
