Claire that is a great idea.Il pm you and we can discuss the details.Il email the cloth bag company and let them know the updates,and roughly how many bags,im thinking 2000 what do you think guys.

Only chav this thread is meant only for cloth bag discussion,so could you please start your own thanks

Claire and Monica - this sounds very exciting! With a school competition we could get a nice photo in the paper and some really lovely publicity for the bag and for the forum.

I have no artistic talent but if anyone would like help with the other practical stuff- publicity, fundraising application,etc, then please pm me.

Great idea! I would be happy to ring around some local primary schools and see if they would be interested in participating in a competition. Its the sort of thing schools should love as it raises environmental issues for the children in a fun way. Is it something that it would be easier to restrict to one school (for practicality) - if so, Clare can put it to her school before I ask any others. What do you think? Happy to go with the general consensus.

Hello again,

July 16th is ages away .... two months! We can contact schools and still get our application in in that time if we pull together.

An application won't need everything wrapped up - indeed the very opposite is true, funders will want to be able to say their money helped the schools run the competition (in an indirect way).

I had a look at the application online - it's a borough wide one so it is highly unlikely that we could get an extension - but it's pretty straightforward and by putting names of schools down as parners and beneficiaries I think we will be in a really really strong position.

I think this is quite exciting!

I'll volunteer to add it to the agenda for the next WI meeting. You guys seem to have the plans well wrapped up, but I'm sure the EDWI would be interested. What sort of areas would you need assistance in that I could suggest at the WI meeting for discussion?

B Belle has PM'ed me and we are going to contact the primaries between us. I have put together a basic Word document with the proposal and about the Cleaner Greener Scheme in case the schools want something in writing.


Can I just say how lovely it is to read a thread like this and to see how community-spirited people can be. Well done everyone and thanks to the EDForum for bringing everyone together! :))

Update on bags.I spoke to the lovely lady at supreme creations who will email me a quote on the canvas shopper with long handles and the gusset bag with long handles.She explained that the more colours involved the higgher the cost,so il be meeting up with the teachers on edf for chat about the design,the lady has suggested that they can use up to 3 colours and do some shading in.We all know kids love colouring,but if we can set them a challenge on designing a logo using East Dulwich in the logo with a couple of colours,hopefully that will be ok.Unless the teachers here or anyone else have any other suggestions,please post them.As long as the theme is East Dulwich, that is one of the important parts of this whole brilliant project.Any questions?

Just to let everyone know I have had a really positive conversation with the deputy head at Goose Green School. She thought the project fitted really well with the school's current initiative to gain "eco status" and would be really interested in taking part. A couple of other schools I am waiting to hear back from.


Clare - I am not sure which school you teach at but it would be great if you could pm me (or Ko who is also contacting schools)as a teacher putting forward the idea might add weight to the proposal (I felt a bit like a cold caller!).

Hi there


I've spoken to 2 other primary schools who were very enthusiatic and who definitely wanted to be involved (I am waiting to hear back from one other school). Bellenden Belle and myself are contacting 3 primary schools each and I know that one of her schools has also said yes.


B Belle and myself looked at the list of primaries and as there are six schools we thought this would be a manageable number to be involved if we coordinated it properly. Whilst my initial thoughts were that having just a couple of schools involved would be better in practical terms, having spoken to the schools they all sound very enthusiastic about the idea and what a good opportunity it is for the children to gain more environmental awareness - so I think it would be a shame not to involve all six primaries in ED because it would be a lost learning opportunity for those children. :)


What do others think?

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
