FINAL PUSH PAVILION FUNDRAISER - Sat 16th June, 7:30pm, Streatham & Marlborough Cricket Club


Streatham & Marlborough Cricket Club, located between Forest Hill and East Dulwich, and one of the biggest cricket clubs in the area, has for the last 8 years been working towards raising the ?600,000 it needs to re-build its clubhouse. Sport England, the Marathon Trust and the England & Wales Cricket Board have committed around ?400,000 to the project, and they are now looking to raise the final ?200,000 with a view to the build happening the winter after next. Now that more than half of the money is secured, it?s likely that more grant-giving bodies will come on board soon to provide additional funding, but the club is trying to raise as much of the funds themselves as possible.


Without the new pavilion, the club faces increasing costs and decreasing hirings, such that it may in the next few years be forced to close. This would be a huge loss to the local community, as the club serves as a sporting and social hub for nearly 1000 local residents, and that?s not to mention many more visitors every year. With the new pavilion, the club is expected to again host a children?s nursery in the daytime, and for many more people to hire the club for cricket games and functions such as private parties and wedding receptions. This extra revenue will secure the future of the club for many decades to come.


The club is looking for donors and sponsors. If anyone would like to find out about the project, the club is hosting a ?Final Push Pavilion Fundraiser? this Saturday evening from 7:30pm. There will be food, drinks, live music, presentations about the project by the club?s chairman and guests from Surrey Cricket, and the chance to donate. A similar fundraiser five years ago to kick-start the fundraising effort raised ?40,000 from members and the club is hoping to raise a similar amount this time again.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
