I posted a notice re: starting a small social group hoping to meet local people who have similar interests as I do: going out to cinema, theatre events etc ... and maybe meeting up up afterwards and have a drink or two ..and more interesting still: discuss our thoughts and feelings about the film or play.

I am very new to East Dulwich Forum and don't seem to have thoroughly acquainted myself with the workings of the site (worse still I may very well be a digital moron!)). I mistakenly sent a few messages thinking I had only three replies only to find out I had quite a few more. I am thoroughly delighted but wished I had looked at the right section of EDF.

I apologise for misleading emails and also for not replying sooner - I've been away over New Year... So I am now going to organise myself and make a list of films and other events that seem 'interesting', invite suggestions and get in touch with everyone. I can't seem to find a way to reach everyone with one message. Hence this post. Any help would be most appreciated.

I think the explanation is in the post above, a new user and not a particularly 'savvy' one.


No big deal.


Hopefully I'm on your list Swadesh!

If you do that, why not ask admin to remove this new thread so as to not confuse folk! Just go to the first message up top and 'report this message' and tell admin that's what you want to do, go back to the original?

    • In the past such details have always been described as commercially sensitive, which they possibly are. So we've never really known what the deals actually were. And whether they represented value for money for the council, and hence us. 
    • Apologies if this has been asked before. But has the council posted any black and white facts about what income gala brings in and therefore what it funds in the long term?    appreciate it causes a commotion for a few weeks but if it brings in enough revenue to fund the park being a nice place for the rest of the year it feels worth it.   
    • This is a fair point Glemham, although I don't think it is as straightforward as it looks. In essence, the Scheme of Estate Managment 'tithe' goes into maintaining the area, and the costs associated with that, such as planning consents and the like, and as you rightly point out, is ostensibly ring fenced.  However, it seems likely to me that the results of the 'tithe' would impact on the level of commercial rents the Dulwich Estate are able to command, and how much they get when they sell off a piece of land - it is after all a prime area. The 'tithe' is in my view ultimately, even if indirectly, a contributor to the Estate's ability to generate a surplus.  Of that surplus, 85% is directed at the private schools, which seems at odds to me with the spirit of simple instruction of the original Edward Alleyn will to 'educate 12 poor scholars' He didn't suggest they should go to Eton on bursaries. I think the Estate need to be doing far more for local state schools, who are all struggling with estraordinarily tight budgets. I also feel on a personal level uneasy in potentially contributing in any way to an institution such as Dulwich College where the question can be asked - are they struggling to manage successive generational waves of toxicity? The evidence that the Guardian has amassed from the Farage period looks pretty damming to me, and I find the more recent allegations deeply unsettling, although clearly they have been subject to less scrutiny.
    • Thanks Joe. Sorry to the poster of that thread if it was my comment. It was just that none of it made sense to me.
