Hi all,


We're looking at starting up the Plough Parents Club again.


We wanted to make some changes, move the day from a Friday to a Tuesday and make it a bit more organised (my fault it wasnt towards the end I realise)


We thought doing a week of soft play, a week with a guest speaker, something different (paints, crafts.... Im not sure and open to suggestions!) and then a swap shop week (we have loads of newborn clothes as our chunky two week old is out of them already!)


What do you all think? Is this something that could work. Does it come across a bit too structured?


Ive never organised a Parents and Baby club before so its a bit new to me!


Any advice or thoughts gratefully received.


Thank you,


Gavin @ The Plough

Hi all,


Id love to do the soft play more often - its going to be expensive to hire which is the big issue. We can't buy it as storage becomes a problem as does the H & S side of keeping it hygeinacally clean and well maintained.

I'll keep my thinking cap on for a solution.


As to ages - I thought we'd try and welcome all, maybe have time slots on the soft play days. Not for attendance, but maybe for use of the soft play stuff. I suppose the good thing is we're big enough so if we get high numbers we can do some different things in different areas for the right ages.


Im going to look at getting this all started by first week of Oct. would be sooner but Im away for two weeks from tomorrow. Please keep any ideas and thoughts coming - this is very new to me!


Thank you,


Gavin

Soft play a def, play doh/drawing, painting.

As lots of dulwich mums have toddlers and babies ( of both the static and crawling variety) essential to have something that both ages can do while mum keeps an eye on both..,

Speakers for the parents a great idea also. Maybe the swap shop once a month? Tv showing cbeebies?

Sounds good! My only comment would be to think v hard about baby proofing if you are allowing toddlers to come along - it might just be my lack of control over my son but I find pub baby club venues scary - so much opportunity to raid cutlery/glasses/get behind bar/escape through many doors...esp when looking after a baby too!

Hi guys, sorry for delay - came back to much more work and problems than I anticipated but anyway!!!


Thanks to everyone for their help, ideas and suggestions... I have a few questions....


toddler proofing, good idea, we can get a stair gate one way so they cant get behind bar or towards kitchen.... the main entrance can be curtained across but is a bit to big to gate. Hopefully with the curtains it'll keep them contained!


As to soft play - every week is a possibility, how would people feel about a small weekly charge? If not we can def do it once a month. I am in contact with a lovely, local person who is setting up her own soft hire business. So will be able to keep it in Dulwich.


Start date..... middle of Oct provisional dates are 18th / 25th Oct.


Thank you all,


Gavin

    • Found Amex card on Goose Green. PM with your name and the last 4 digits of the card number if you think it might be yours. 
    • I’m not sure the problems were caused by Everyone Active. They run perfectly good centres elsewhere, including the Queen Mum which until recently was my main pool. As far as I can remember the problems with the Dulwich pool started months after it was handed over to Southwark. But I might be wrong on that. I think there was a period when EA weren’t investing in it, pre hand back to Southwark, which is not surprising, but it was maintained to legal standards, I’m sure. I tried to swim at Dulwich a couple of weeks back. The water is far too hot. I would say it’s bordering on dangerous. I’m sure it’s within the tolerances etc but it is significantly warmer than JAGS (warm but still ok for session swims) which itself is way warmer than any of the other pools I swim at (Queen Mum, St Pancras, Oasis). I do wonder if all the problems they had with filters are related to the temp of the water. Peckham Pulse and Camberwell aren’t hot  so I think it’s a manager decision to run Dulwich so hot. Appreciate that the pool temp has nothing to do with the showers.
    • 13.11.25 - Had an internal blockage in our kitchen, which I had tried to fix myself but to no avail. Found TD Plumbfix Solutions via the East Dulwich Forum and within an hour of making contact, Troy had sent one of his team to have a look. They were absolutely brilliant, from start to finish. Kept me informed of what they were doing, gave me a few tips on future do and don'ts, and finished the job in such a way that should make it easy for me to fix should the problem arise in the future.  Intend using again in near future for a couple of small jobs and would wholly recommend this firm to anyone.
    • Typically the way 'family run businesses' operate is either to have family members continue the business, or to sell on, either as a site (in this instance) or as a going concern. Either which way this is the way the owners create a 'pension' from the business. The number of suggestions as to alternatives makes me feel that the market for small repairing garages locally may be well served, so selling on the site makes the best financial sense for the owners. It's a sign not of the times but of normal business realities.
