There certainly used to be one held weekly in Kingswood House... But perhaps some of the pubs and coffee bars could be persauased to supply outdoor tables during the summer. It is so civilied and continental (in a good way) to contemplate the Sicilian whilst sipping espresso and observing the passing humanity no?

I used to be quite good at chess til I was about 18 (****). Then people said you are a mathematician so you must be good at chess. This raised the goalposts to the point where I decided not to risk being only mediocre at chess. So I stopped playing.


**** clearly any evidence as to whether I was good at chess at 17 has been lost in the mists of time so I can make this statement without feer of repraisal.

I'm a real chess lover (although not a great player) and recently found out that there is a Dulwich Chess Club. It meets every Monday from 8pm upstairs at the Crown and Greyhound in the Village. Here's the website;

See you there!

Perhaps various EDF related events should take place on different cycles of 8 days so that

- no one is excluded from other events

- people who have regular commitments elswhere (eg I have choir on most thurs) can come at least some of the time


The astute reader will note my degree subject from a previous similar posting :-)

That sounds like a good plan. How about starting the Chess this coming Tuesday, then the following Weds etc etc? Should the venue be a bar?

Andrew where is your choir and are they professionals? My partner is looking for a choir to join but for fun and to learn rather than one that is already outstanding.

Jamie, there's an a cappella group that I think rehearses at Horniman's each week. They do a mixture of musical styles, and it's all quite casual from what I'm told. You could google it, or I can find out more details if you like... I was told about it by someone, but never got round to looking in to it.

    • Really like this place. Good food, reasonable price and super friendly
    • Excuse me? Are you the forum police or just a nosy parker? For your information me and my kids were almost hit by a crazy black boy heading that way on a bike that day so I wondered if it was the same youth. It was upsetting, we could have been seriously hurt. In future wind in your neck before judging people. As I said when you stuck your nose in with unfounded implication and suspicion before, mixed race woman posting here and I bet Β£100 you are a bourgeois native Brit who obsessively sees race in everything at the expence of practicality (being able to identify potential criminals by describing their physical appearance). If your socialist utopia isn't going to plan don't blame the messenger.

    • No, he was utterly un-electable. Any sensible, non-Momentum, Labour member knew this. Corbyn likes to blame the press but that is the far-left modus operandi - find someone else to blame when the problem lies at your doorstep. I know someone who was on his team and they convinced themselves that they had won on the basis of social media. He was a disaster for the party and only Covid and the incompetence of the Tories allowed Labour to recover. Corbyn was on Newsnight last night clearly putting himself back on the circuit in the hope of a Starmer downfall.  This is why Labour HQ does not want McAsh leading the council - they are trying to purge the party of the far-left due to the damage they have done to it and I believe any swing to a more far-left leadership in Labour HQ would be an unmitigated disaster and just be rolling out the red-carpet for Farage. But the far-left won't care they see another opportunity to take over after they fumbled the ball massively in 2019.
