Yes please, more food stalls, at 1.30pm we were looking for lunch and ended up trolling back up LL to find it, there being no jerk chicken left and nothing else around but cakes ... great, but not really what you fancy at Sunday lunchtime ....


Still, a nice bottle of Old Peculier (sic) made up for it, thanks Ray :)-D

Yes - you're right - the fair in Dulwich Park usually has more of the fete / activity type thingees.


I do like the fair on goose green though but it could have a little bit more of a community feel. I don't know - maybe invite some of the community groups to host a stall as a fundraiser with a game or something. There's plenty of room.

As always you can't please everybody all of the time. Anyone who has any bright ideas for next year and is willing to volunteer to help make them happen should get in touch. I ran the event as a volunteer without any funding so there is a limit to what one person can produce on the day. So if you are willing to give up some of your free time and help, do get in touch.

It was (as someone said earlier) more of a trinket market than anything else.


Homemade jewellery, hemp bags and fudge are all very well, but what the people really want is a coconut shy, guess the weight of the pumpkin, crockery smashing, the stocks (Foxtons staff, obviously) and a tombola.

I'm sorry. I can see that a massive amount of effort went into organising the event and I think you and whoever else was involved did brilliantly. As I said I think its just my taste which is, in any case, better served in other bits of the festival.


What I was clumsily trying to say was that the bits I enjoyed most were the things like the donkeys, the singers and even the police - who dressed my small children up in riot gear (without batons...).


Really well done and thank you for doing it.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
