If anyone's not been able to join up to the beginners running class over at the dulwich park runners, and are looking for help in staying motivated I can whole heartily (well after 1 run this evening) recommend the new Nike+ sportband. It costs ?40 ( plus about another fiver for a pouch for the sensor to sit on your laces if you dont want, as i didnt, to buy the nike+ trainers) and is pretty simple to use. Pop the sensor on your shoe, the band on your wrist and off you pop (and in my case wheeze a little). When you get back, after you've recovered, you unplug the USB bit from the wrist band and pop it in your pc and it'll upload your run. You can then track your performance for all your runs with things like distance, km/h, calories burnt. You can even get a group of you to upload your runs into a community and help motivate each other that way too.

even if you're not going to get the thing, I'd definitely recommend clicking on my runs at the bottom of the page and then go into the MAPIT section, as this is a really good tool for mapping a route for your run and it also showing you how far the run is. There seems to be a few dulwich types who've already logged runs on map it.

      Foxes

      By Lynne · Posted

      Every night a fox is dragging our small solar powered pump out from the pond and chewing through the cable.  Two questions. One, of course, is why? What does it gain from it? Second is how can we stop it . We've tried taking the pump out at night but since most of the cable runs under the path, we can't put it very far away. We've tried weighing it down after removal but the fox, after a couple of days has learned to push the weights away. It seems to be enjoying the contest. We're not. Any fox experts with suggestions would be welcomed.

      How oversubscribed are the local schools? Will they be able to take on students who are currently privately-educated?

      By lollol · Posted

      Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      By lollol · Posted

      Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)
