Your Dulwich WI needs you!


Hello EDF


Thank you for allowing me to post here.

My name is Suzanne James, and some may already have heard of me. I have a long established business - a catering company on Barry Road and much more recently, opened Fifty Seven, Restaurant + Bar on North Cross Road. I was born in SE22 and lived here all of my life!


I have just been re-elected as the VP at the Dulwich WI and I wanted to share my experience with you.


The Dulwich WI was set up three years ago when our president Sue Jarvie was unable to join the East Dulwich WI due to capacity. Wow. That was such a great position to be in and so we set about building another group in the area to compliment the first.


Three years on and here we are, on the cusp of lockdown lifting and a membership that is growing again! During this past year we have all struggled and especially us as a WI. Many have closed but somehow, we have managed to survive but not quite thrive! We lost a few members, had a couple pass away and some decide it was not quite right for them. All that said, our stead fast ladies that have been with us from the start, have asked if we are looking to recruit as they would like to make more friends in the local area. We listened and here I am posting!


Are you new to the area and looking to make new friends?

Are you looking to experience new activities?

Are you looking to just get out of the house and go somewhere safe where you can just relax?


Check out our website www.dulwichwi.com and find out more about us. We are a friendly group and would love you to meet us.


For the record:

We are very different in age, some are retired, some are working, some are new parents, some don't have to work! Some have a professional background, some play golf, some enjoy coffee mornings, some enjoy the book club, some are members and we hardly see them!


We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month and if you would like to know more then please do get in touch through the website.


Your Dulwich WI needs you too!


Thank you for taking the time to read


Suzanne

We have now had a few more ladies join the group now and it is wonderful to meet new people.


If you are keen to know more or just pop along to meet us and see what you think then please do get in touch via email at [email protected]


(its terribly difficult and perhaps even daunting to go into a group of people when you are alone but please do not be concerned. We are such a friendly group and do everything we can to make you feel comfortable and very welcome)


Get it touch if you are looking to make friends

    • With slightly less respect  I have  watched the 1 hour video - he said what he said and he did what he did. And his faux-wink wink “no violence people” fools no one but fools. Are you a fool?    the bbc told the truth - and it’s a straight up lie to say otherwise. Did they wdit and cut to the chase to make a point? Absolutely  and correctly  he was not edited to say things he didn’t say 
    • Friends and family in the 'States always say how wonderful it is to be in Britain and see our news coverage.  It's all partisan out there. The BBC manages to simultaneously p off the left and the right so must be doing something right.
    • From the BBC: "The conclusion of that deliberation is that we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologise for that error of judgement." What is wrong is editing someone to make him say something they didn't.  With respect Sephiroth, this is something I know a bit about and I have encountered, over the last decade, people in programming editing contributors to make them say things they didn't, the end point being to hang them out to dry. It's happening more and more and it's my job to make sure that people on TV are not mis-represented, but shown in their true light so that viewers can make up their own minds. You have no idea what goes on behind the scenes and how hard some us fight to keep things impartial.  It's also worth mentioning that I have personally lost work because of Trump suing US networks, and that's one of the lesser reasons why I'd like to see him gone.  But broadcasters have a moral obligation to tell the truth and that's the hill that most decent professionals in the industry are willing to die on. Otherwise, how can the viewing public trust anything that's beamed into their living rooms? 
    • Amazing work from Leon, doing out electrical survey and replacing our consumer board. Great communications, tidy work, reliable friendly and reasonably priced. A pleasure to have around and highly recommended.
