Can anyone explain how to access basic information about classes and timetables available without having first to submit a load of contact details and also agree to T&C's to the national private company subcontracted to run the place?


Perhaps the centre is closed but it does not feel right that details of activities available to residents cannot be accessed without first submitting personal information.

It is very badly organised, but the information you want is there, I think.

They seem to have gone out of their way to make the information difficult to find. Rest assured, it's not just you. That info is very well hidden!

It's very irritating. As soon as sessions are put live for booking all the spaces are gone within a few minutes. But then when you go to the session, it's typically less than half full.


But unfortunately, this is a Dulwich specific problem.

Oh, that?s annoying. Forest Hill is run by Better, not Everyone Active, so I haven?t ever tried there.


The other local-ish EA pools don?t seem to have this problem, or at least not to the same extent. Try Peckham if you can get over there. 37 bus? Loads of open spaces - even for today. Or Camberwell (gets booked up too, but you can normally find a session 2 to 3 days ahead) or the Castle Centre (generally good availability but they hire out the entire pool quite a lot) - both direct on the 176.


Hopefully they will all go back to open timetabled sessions soon. I heard October from staff at the Queen Mum, but I don?t think they actually know any more than we do!

I think the health centre is going back to direct control under Southwark...I'm staying hopeful...but let's see. I miss my swim, it's just too much bother. It was lovely when they had the swim-only membership years ago, not sure why they stopped, probably wanted to make more profit?

    • 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. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • 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.    
    • 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.
