Dear Winter baby Mums and Dads,


This coming Friday morning some of us are getting together to discuss setting up an East Dulwich 'Positive Birth' group. We are meeting at 10am at a house in ED for coffee, biscuits and chat. If you are interested please feel free to come along we'd love to meet you. There will be some toys for toddlers to play with (though to a huge amount), and of course babies and children are welcome. PM me for the address if you'd like to come.


Please see this thread in the family room if you'd like to know more: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,1223855


Sorry to gate crash. SWx

NCT 6 week Postnatal course starts on Jan 14th for all parents. Particularly good for those of you who are new to the area, or have had a big gap between children, then this may be the thing for you! There are 3 spaces left at the moment.


Held in East Dulwich this is a great way to meet local parents with babies aged 0-8 months. The discussions are facilitated by the NCT Practitioner and cover topics such as sleeping, feeding, crying, relationships, birth debrief, work vs home etc.


The next course is in March, additional dates can be arranged if necessary.


Also look out for the NCT Introducing Solids Workshops. Dates for the one-off 2 hour workshops are: Jan 13th, Feb 25th, Mar 7th, Apr 4th, May 2nd, June 27th etc.



pm me for more info or go to the main nct website: www.nct.org.uk


All the best,

We all seem to have gone pretty quiet, not surprising since most of us are either delivering or coping with the first few weeks! I wondered if anyone around Forest Hill has been organised enough to work out child are for going back to work early next year?

hi Winter babies,


I'm just popping in to let you know that ED Birthtalk - the positive birth discussion group for ED is meeting this coming Thursday (6th) from 10am - 12pm. It's free, babies/children are welcome/it's NOT a 'natural birth' group. Our ethos is 'positivity about birth' and our discussions centre around that. This means all kinds of birth, water birth, vaginal birth, assisted birth and caesarean birth - ALL types.


If anyone is around & fancies a cuppa, biscuit and chat with other interested people about all things birth then please feel free to PM me for the venue. We'd love to see you :)

    • Thanks for all of the thoughts. I have a letter from searches which outlines the scope of work but doesn't mention any work guarantee as far as I can see. I agree that next step is to check directly with the major works team. Tim .
    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
