OK here's the running order for the music:



12pm DJ/Open Mic (see below)


1pm The Relatives (offshoot of the Dulwich Ukulele Club, R.I.P.)


2pm Ben Holland


3pm The Bara Bara Band


4pm John McClean and The Clan




Each band's set will be 45 minutes.


The open mic is first come first served and is open to anybody who would like to come and give us all a song or tune - anything you want (as long as it's suitable for a street party where there will be children and other sensitive souls :) ).


There will be a whiteboard by the music gazebo, and singers will be in order of writing their names on the board.


One song each to start with.


The booked bands will start at 1pm so if you want to do an open mic spot please make sure you get there in time to put your name down early.


The music gazebo will be in the section of Crystal Palace Road between The Actress and The Great Exhibition, and will be towards The Actress end this year.


Please do come, all are welcome - and please bring food and drink to share!


Fingers crossed for good weather!!

Thanks to everyone who came along - a great afternoon was had by all. And thanks to The Goose Is Out for (once again) organising the music, to the musicians (The Relatives, Ben Holland, The Bara Bara Band and, rocking the end of the party, John McClean and The Clan) who gave their time in return only for liquid refreshment, to the DJs, to the organisers and helpers, face-painters, balloon-doggers, bunting-makers and gazebo-erecters. And thanks to everyone who brought some food and drink to share with their neighbours and friends - that is the point of the Big Lunch, after all.


* edited to give names of musicians performing at the 2015 joint Crystal Palace Road / Ulverscroft Road Big Lunch street party.


** And I forgot to thank all the residents who kindly moved their vehicles from the street on the day of the party - it made a big difference so thank you too.

Thanks are also due to Enzo (hope I've spelled your name right, Enzo) who supplied the electricity for the bands!


Several of the original organisers of the Crystal Palace Road/Ulverscroft Road (as the roads are so close to each other, we have been alternating the party location each year) street party have moved or are moving out of the area.


The core group is becoming more and more depleted, with consequently the pre-party preparation (it starts months before) falling on just a few shoulders this year, all already busy people.


If you live on Crystal Palace Road or Ulverscroft Road (or adjoining roads) and you'd like to see this annual event continue and blossom, please consider volunteering to help - the more volunteers there are, the less for each one to do!

      Is anyone pregnant and due this winter?

      By Elelel123 · Posted

      Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor

      Wanted - table top ironing board

      By Sue · Posted

      I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?

      Is anyone else banned from "adding reactions" on here?

      It's happened twice today, I've never had this happen before! Here's the second one. All I did was try to agree with a post in the lounge!

      Now I'm having my hand slapped by some forum bot 😮 All I did was try to add a laughing emoji to ianr's post. This is obviously a message from the universe to tell me to get off my phone and get back to working my way through my very lengthy to do list 🤣 ETA: And it's just happened again when I tried to agree with a post in the lounge. OK universe, I give in. Back to the hideous task list.
