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?

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
