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.

Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
