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.

    • Thought a bit of balance was useful, for many there are loud disturbances over much of the year. Not sure if several days of noise from  a festival is worse than the asses who regularly use lounge power tools, in particular to cut through steel. 
    • Why aren't the barricades and stages coming down?
    • Can people try and be positive, it's a City, you're always bound to get noise. Try talking and getting on with neighbours, it makes life so much easier helping each other out, chatting, talking, laughing, crying and having fun together. 
    • But Mal, if someone is playing incessant music loudly in their garden and it is causing a nuisance then the council will send around a noise officer and they will have words with said person. The council, on the other hand, is happy to allow events that cause incessant noise disruption for thousands and thousands of people over multiple days over multiple weekends and are actively encouraging it. Does that not seem slightly hypocritical? Or does hypocrisy not count when there is revenue to be had? Perhaps this is the route those impacted need to take, just keep reporting the council-mandated events to the council's noise team over and over and over again during the duration of the disruption.....
