If you are coming to the Jackie Oates gig upstairs @ edt next Friday (18 July) please don't come hungry, as we have just been told that because the restaurant at the EDT has closed for the Summer, there won't be any food.


Please don't let this put you off - it will be another great evening musically (not just Jackie, but two really excellent support acts) and there are lots of other places to eat nearby before the live music starts at 8pm.


Admin - sorry for putting this in the issues/gossip section, but because of the short notice I'm concerned that people who already know about the gig and intend to come won't see my post in the appropriate thread in the "What's On" section because they won't look at that thread again before Friday :-$

I booked at table for the Tim Van Eyken night, at the bar, in the EDT weeks before the gig. When we arrived there was no record of our reservation. After a bit of a fuss a new table was erected and we got to eat.


A month ago I went up to the restaurant to book a table for the Jackie Oates night. I saw the owner and watched her write my name and phone number in the diary. What could possibly go wrong? - - - - She closed the restaurant for the summer and chose not to tell me. If my guests and I had arrived at the EDT tonight, hungry and very disappointed, there is a slim chance that I may have set the building on fire and had a barbecue instead!


Fotunately I am on the 'Goose' mailing list and was forewarned. The restaurant didn't know that though!!

That's really awful. I'm so sorry. I heard about the problem with your table booking at the Tim van Eyken gig. It's disappointing because it reflects on the Goose, and we have never had anything to do with table bookings for food at the EDT.


As you say, lucky you were on the Goose mailing list. We have done our best to let as many people know as possible via our mailing list, MySpace, this forum and the Goose website, but at such short notice (we were told on Sunday) that was the best we could do really :-S


We are just hoping that we won't be lynched by starving mobs tonight :-S


And that it hasn't deterred too many people from what we are hoping will be another night of excellent music :)

      That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
