Dear friends


I am seeking to locate a suitable space to initiate some FREE Latin dance opportunities. 'Pop-up Latin Dance Experience' I am doing this on behalf of a friend and recent Colombian immigrant Yamile Herera who I have known for a couple of years as a talented multi-professional teacher and dance school owner. She has danced professionally, owned a successful dance school and has taught many Latin dance disciplines including all forms of salsa, tango and lesser known forms such as porro and pasa doble. Yamile married a UK mental health professional and is six months into the adventure of her new life here in London, currently living with her husband and daughter in Gypsy Hill.


I am a retired senior Education officer from Croydon Local Authority and in retirement I have developed an interest and love of Latin culture, traveled widely in South America and I have worked voluntarily helping establish micro businesses. I am not seeking profit, just following my interest one of which is Yamile's project to share her expertise and eventually re commence her business interest here in the UK.


We have identified an intermediate stage - the aims to


test levels of interest in the area of West Norwood;

offer Yamile and opportunity to develop her capacity to teach dance in her second language, English; and

develop a relationship with a local excellent venue


I very much hope to hear from you and that we could be working with you in the near future. We recognize that there may be costs involved for yourselves and would want to contribute to your funds


Yours sincerely


Alan Malarkey

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
