Just had a letter through the door addressed to the Crystal Palace Tavern Cricket Club, it starts 'dear secretary...' *stifles chuckle*.


We have a choice of Belair, Burgess and Southwark parks (astro turf) and more dates that you could throw a smoked haddock at.


Who's up for it this year, and Brendan is your mate around?

Got horribly drunk with him yesterday as it happens Mockers and this very subject came up. And yes he will be around as long as he isn't playing a club match. So now all we need is Dems and the rest of us won't have to bother making any runs at all, again.

I'm in for both energetic(ish) bowling for the nominal CPT Touring XI and a dab of lawn bowls. Last year I seem to remember the Peckham Rye Lawn Bowls Club did some intro sessions.


I'm feeling all Paul Kaye already!

There were taster sessions last July, http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?6,146416,146950#msg-146950 It would appear that we had thought about it Strawbs but neither David and I or you made it. This year we definitely should! xxx

Anyone who can actually play cricket will be handy too. I think we established last year that as this is the CPT cricket team the criteria for membership are something along the lines of, drink in the CPT/have ever had a drink in the CTP/Have ever had a drink in a pub of any description/ have ever had a drink of any sort/have walked past the CPT or any other pub.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
