We've got a lovely new Dr Bike banner and we will be showing it off under Peckham Arch (see pic) from 5.30-7.30pm on Thursday September 12th. Doing the work will be our professional mechanic Charlie (on the left) and our leader Andy (on the right) plus assorted volunteers (I'm not naming them because I'm not clear who they are right now). They will be fixing brakes, indexing gears and giving good advice on wheels ("that one's square") and chains ("too dirty.......needs cleaning". This isn't an alternative to having your bike serviced but if you are planning an autumn service it will help you sort out the shops which are giving good advice and the ones which may not have your best interests at heart.

We are the Southwark branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and the LCC website is here: https://lcc.org.uk/?ref=nav. Like everything we do this Dr Bike session is free and open to all. We fund everything we offer ourselves. How we manage that is a long story. Stop and ask if you really want to know. Any further details on the Dr Bike are here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-under-peckham-arch-18/ and you can contact us on [email protected]; tweet us on @southwarkcycle or text me on 07842 640 207 and I will do my best to find out.

  Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!

  Hi I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

  Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.
- Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

  Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
