Village Books of Dulwich Village invites you to meet AJ Pearce on Monday 23 April 7pm. Picked as one of the leading debut novelists of 2018 this will be an event you?ll not want to miss.

Irresistibly funny and enormously moving, Dear Mrs Bird by AJ Pearce is a love letter to the enduring power of friendship, the kindness of strangers and the courage of ordinary people in extraordinary times.

BOOK TICKETS HERE: http://village-books.co.uk/events/

Tickets are ?10 includes drinks. This event is taking place at Bell House, 27 College Road. Dulwich Village SE21 7BG

AJ was picked by The Guardian as one of the debuts for 2018. Hannah Beckerman says ?joyfully uplifting and optimistic novel?Despite its historical setting, Dear Mrs Bird?s timely story of courage and good humour in adversity is being pitched as the literary tonic of the year?.

Hazel has read Dear Mrs Bird and says ?I loved Dear Mrs Bird and was completely swept up in the story of Emmy and Bunty. The portrayal of their lives in London during the Blitz was so vividly realised it felt real and I really cared what happened to them. I devoured the book in a single sitting and highly recommend it. It has all the warmth and charm of The Guernsey Potato and Peel Pie Society and I?m certain it will find as wide an audience. I can?t wait to be able to recommend it in the bookshop?.

This event is taking place on Monday 23rd April 2018 7pm at Bell House, 27 College Road, Dulwich SE21 7BG

  A couple more PR / tickbox sessions are being offered by the organisers (the expression "reaching out" really makes my skin crawl), again presumably without any council representatives attending. No sign of the results of the consultation yet, or when the meeting is to decide whether to grant the licence... To whom it may concern, We are reaching out to invite you to our upcoming Residents & Stakeholder Drop In Sessions for Gala 2025. We are hosting two drop-in style sessions to facilitate more in depth conversations, allowing us to run through our plans for 2025 and to discuss how we are going to address your feedback. We look forward to meeting you in person and discussing our event plans for both Gala and our new community day, On The Rye Festival, in more detail. Lunchtime Session: Time: 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Date: Monday 17th of March Location: Watson's General Telegraph, 108 Forest Hill Rd, London SE22 0RS. Evening Session: Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Date: Monday 17th of March Location: Watson's General Telegraph, 108 Forest Hill Rd, London SE22 0RS. As these are drop-in sessions, you can arrive at any time during the below sessions - but it would be greatly appreciated if you could advise on an approximate arrival time. If you would like to attend, please respond with: Your name Your address Your estimated time of arrival We really appreciate your feedback and taking the time to attend our engagement meetings. Yours sincerely, Community Team | GALA Festival [email protected]
- Dog Poop in Dulwich

  I must say Dulwich is the worse borough I’ve seen for dog mess. Literally everywhere I step it’s dog poo! There is a lot of children/kids in this area god forbid they fell in it. Fix up dog owners!!

  I can’t recommend Niko highly enough. Not only did he solve a problem that was puzzling others, but he started with the least disruptive and least expensive option which worked. He is also a delight to have in the house. 07818607583
- Personal Training at Gokay Fitness

  I have been training with the brilliant personal trainer Fox (yes, that is his real name) for over 3 months now. I can't speak highly enough about Fox, Gok and their team. I was desperately unfit and now I am in danger of turning into a gym junkie! If you are considering joining a gym/class or getting a personal trainer then I would 100% recommend Gokay Fitness.
