Is the Colour Thief on Nov 4th going ahead?

[Masterblaster]

James and renata,

Do you realise that petty points scoring puts people off politics, yes? Perhaps you could think about working together for the good of the community, rather than this he said / she said act?

Yours,

Voters

and to call such a thing 'bonkers' in itself would be well.....we know what.

Accurate?

I just found out completely by chance that this has been cancelled as I was searching for the start time on the internet.

I read the advert in Southwark Life and liked the sound of 'The Colour Thief': it somehow felt like it might make the thing much more creative and festive than the usual sort of November 5th event. I didn't think I was being a sucker for political correctness - just a sucker for a good free festival within walking distance.

I guess whoever led the lobbying for it to be cancelled didn't feel any sense of responsibility to all the people who'd read the original announcement - many of whom will no doubt show up on the night and be disappointed.

Anway, does anyone have any alternative suggestions for a blind date this Friday now some Councillors have put out the fireworks?

The really, really stupid thing about this is the name - drive anywhere around Dulwich at the moment - it is alive with the brilliant autumn colours - leaves, berries - we are at our most colourful - but the aparatchiks think a colour thief has been about apparently. A festival in midwinter in the snow, perhaps, but in autumn?! No idea!

xxxxxxx

There are loads of fireworks still happening.

At Brockwell Park and Crystal Palace Park, both within easy reach of East Dulwich, to name just two events.

There is a thread on here about them.

Those events are on Saturday not Friday

The other thread has a link to firework events happening in South London on Friday as well.
