Dear all,  Due to the kind offers and pro active forum, a suitcase was donated, which enabled absolutely tons of new equipment to be taken to three schools in the Keta /Woe area of the south coast of Ghana. Predominately a fishing economy, a group of Charter students delivered literacy and sports sessions.

As a legacy, we were able to use the suitcase to donate: mini hurdles, relay batons, bean bags, parachute with balls, 3 footballs, one volley ball, one dodge ball ( a pump and needle!) a parachute with 16 play balls,  two short tennis racquets and 8 tennis balls, a set of resource game ideas resource cards. As well as some sanitary and stationery items.

These sports items were demonstrated over the week in collaboration with the ideas of local teachers then left as a lasting resource also used by a local orphanage on visits to the schools.  Without the offers, it would have just been a few beanbags. The case on request was left with the school as a storage item.  thank you again for the kind offers and enabling of this project!!

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
