llyamah Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hello everyone!My girlfriend and I will be moving to East Dulwich soon. We have not lived there before but have had an offer accepted on a house on Abbotswood Road.Wondering if anyone can offer any thoughts on the area? Is that road a 'good' choice?Also, I am looking to get fit and was wondering if anyone can recommend some sports clubs? I currently do Muay Thai and Boxing, so was thinking of joining this place:http://gunnsmma.com/Thanksllyamah Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25215-new-to-east-dulwich-general-advice-sports/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedges Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi Ilyamah - come and check out the Back to Netball scheme - its moving to Monday evening 6-7pm at Harris Girls Academy from Monday 3rd September cost only ?3 and its designed for people who have never played before or haven't played for a while. Our last session at JAGS sports club nr North Dulwich station is next Wednesday at 7-8pm. The sessions are ?3 and the monday night ones will be indoors. Its been a great way to meet local people for me and its for all ages. If you search this forum there are contact details for the coach Rachael.Welcome to ED!

Cedges Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 HI Maritap - the Netball is open to all ages (and we have had some players in your age range at the JAGS sessions recently)so please do come along :-)We had a write up in the SE Mags this month too - see page 47 of the attached online version:http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1xqhx/SE22August2012/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ffree.yudu.com%2Fitem%2Fdetails%2F561519%2FSE22-August-2012%3Frefid%3D27450 Couple of other notes - the monday sessions are going to be indoors so we won't be a slave to the weather any longer and there is also a session starting in the Waterloo/Southwark area at the Colombo Centre which will be on Thursdays at 6.30-7.30pm and is totally FREE. I know this is out of area technically but it is perfect for peeps like me who work in London Bridge.
