We play in the park itself, not on the common....but a very interesting article...never to be enforced I think ;) as the rules have changed since then. Of course the article says nothing about ladies playing footy :D
I get very frustrated by the no croquet rules on a Sunday, although I have a confession to make. When the riots were going on last weekend I took the chance to sneak out for a quick game in Dulwich Park while the authorities' attention was elsewhere. Been wracked with guilt ever since some James' post is very re-assuring.

I am so relieved to to be told that the bye-laws in force in 1904 have been updated and that all sports are permitted on all days of the week.


The bye-laws in force in 1904 explicitly permitted ice-skating on the lake until dusk on any day of the week unless the park-keeper on duty declared it was too foggy to continue.

Not so hasty. Archery, javelin, discus and shot are all prohibited, as is more or less any golf more dynamic than putting or addressing the ball. And "No person shall throw or strike a cricket ball with a bat except in a designated area for playing cricket." It's all here, under Anti-social behaviour.

    • Thanks very much, that's really interesting. I feel better about the shredded paper not being recycled now! And even better that I can get it out of the house and into the green bin! I will save a bit for future composting though  (and homemade seed paper, thanks Peckhamgatecrasher) x
    • Hello. I think we have found him! Sending you a DM with my phone number. 
    • That's fantastic news. Good on him. 
    • I pass here almost every day and have never seen the local business struggle to load. There's plenty of space as things are.    Seems to me this is just the meddling council being ****heads yet again. These are their reasons: "BAWDALE ROAD Goose Green add a total of 35m new 'DYLs' on both sides south-east of its junction with Lordship Lane (22m on the side of No. 157 Lordship Lane, 3m o/s No. 2 Bawdale Road, and 10m opposite No.2 Bawdale Road) to protect access for large vehicles coming to collect from and deliver goods to the nearby businesses"   Consultation here: https://consultation.appyway.com/southwark/order/1c3a8926-8f51-47e1-8460-2727fec6d895
