Hi Forum. I've just discovered that the Friday evening rafts and rascals session at The East Dulwich pool has been removed. It was a great session as the 6pm -7pm is just a bit too late for my five year old. I think it is a real shame, but Imsuppise they have their reasons.


However I still want to take my daughter swimming at least once a week after school (we are usually out and about at the weekends.) does anyone know any good after school sessions? I can't find any as, quite reasonably, the pools are booked out with swim school.

It always frustrated me that so few after school open sessions are available - I did write to fusion once about the bridge leisure centre small pool and they changed their timetable to put back a suitable cession, but swim school is obviously lucrative as now takes up every available slot


There is always JAGS

Not cheap though


Manageable if it's just one parent signing up and you do go at least once a week

I'm going to send an email. However I think a group email from a group of people might have more force. Please reply on this thread and PM me if you want to be included. I will write it and share it before sending, and also agree who to cc in.


I may be being naive, but I'm sure that if we do demonstrate to them that the session has support, then they will have a good incentive to put it back on, and probably will.

    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
