Thanks everyone who turned up, yes it was wet but we were between the beer tent and the chilli stall and in a nice big tent so everyone was happy and dry(ish). Big thank you to my lovely assistant who helped all weekend and made it possible. Nice one to Elusive Wax who were opposites providing the good tunes and thanks to the organisers, Felicity and Angela for sorting it all out. I'm going to stop there as it's getting like an Oscar speech.


It was great to meet people who enjoy this site and find it beneficial, it was also good to meet people who find it annoying but I have to admit I prefer meeting the former. If you didn't make it on Sunday and have any comments or suggestions about the site please do let us know, either send me a Private Message or click the 'Email the Forum' link at the bottom of every page.


There are some of the classic East Dulwich postcards left over, I'm going to try and get them into a local shop where they will be available (with a discount if you mention the forum), I'll post a new thread when that happens.

Sean is that because you forced others to try it and thought it was highly amusing when their eyes watered! Mind you I did see that your had purchased several bottles, god himself only knows what you are going to do with them


Yes good effort Mark, another winner.

      GALA 2026

      It required legislation to identify the beneficial owners of properties in the UK held by overseas companies - and these still haven't been properly disclosed - ownership of things isn't just a google search away - and to suggest otherwise is not to understand how capitalism works. Unless you (cyclemonkey) do have access to that knowledge and would like to share.

      "Mysterious owners" 😆  If only there was a powerful search engine at our fingertips to find out such deep secrets.

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££

      Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
