I think that the One O'Clock club could do with some sort of official relaunch - there seems to be a constant fug of confusion surrounding what used to be a very straightforward and fantastic service. Rumours abound about whether it's opening or closing down, if it is open what days, whether the steam is running uphill or not etc. I've pretty much given up as its been closed the days I've been down there and I know others who feel the same. So sad to see it fizzle out. Could there be a re-launch, re-establishing open afternoon of some sort effectively saying 'we are here'! Rant over
totally agree wth you kittysailing. i think a lot of people just aren't bothering anymore (including me) because it's not always open when it should be. A real shame because it's such a valuable resource, especially for parents with 2 or more little ones.

To update: Ivydale Children's Centre have taken over the One O clock club from the Council. The Club hasn't opened up again yet because the decision needs to be ratified by the Governors at Ivydale. They haven't yet had a Governors meeting when this could be done. They will be running stay and play (One o Clock club) and a variety of other activities in the club building. It will be open soon, but I don't have an exact date.


When I know more I will post again.

Yes, Maz and Fushia, I have an update.


The takeover of the one O clock club has been approved by Governors. Ivydale Children's Centre are currently restocking toys and equipment. They are also recruiting staff to run it. As they don't yet have the staff, it will be opening after the Half-term break on Tuesdays 10-12 and soon on Thursdays 1-3. Sessions will be gradually increased, by January they expect to be running their full timetable and will be having a party then. As well as the one O clock club sessions they will be running open access arts and crafts and mother and toddler music sessions. Additionally there will be sessions for children with special needs and their parents.

    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
