sociable cycle rides and picnic June 10th


Recommended Posts

Reminder. There are reports on rides on the Southwark Cyclists web site. Usually photos and a route map. Map allows you – or anyone – to try the ride themselves. 

Jun 10th, 12.30 at Southwark Park Bandstand we are holding a Southwark Cyclists Picnic to celebrate BIKE WEEK. There will be a few slightly competitive cycling games suitable for all ages. The contest to be the slowest cyclist is always close.  Everyone is invited including non-cycling friends and family.  Note this is not the same as our other picnic which is held jointly with Lets Go (Bexley), Greenwich Cyclists and other groups that do social rides (provisionally set for August 12th in Greenwich Park). 

We will have one ride on Saturday starting in Dulwich and ending at the picnic. Please register for this on Eventbrite so we have some idea of numbers, link: < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dulwich-to-southwark-park-picnic-ride-tickets-650236674397 > 

Ride Details.10am Start at Dulwich Clock Café, in the middle of Dulwich Park. Bruce leading. Exit by Court Lane gate then LCN 5 (includes Crystal Palace Rd) to Rye Lane and Peckham Square. Riders can join at Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY) at 10.25am. From Peckham down Canal Path and across to Cycleway 10 that will be followed to Deptford Creek. Go down to the Thames then take Thames Path to South Dock and Cycleway 14 to Surrey Quays. From Surrey Quays enter Southwark Park via Gomm Rd. Flat ride mostly quiet streets, cycleway or path. 10 miles, so a nice leisurely pace.  Route at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1ivLxFJjANPm-2xqXUmMOHwLT1mTh3Uk&usp=sharing

    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
