I''m a first-time mum to be and will be doing an NCT course in E Dulwich starting on 1 March 2010. Is anyone else here doing that course? Although my husband and I have been in Forest Hill/East Dulwich for about 18 months, I don't know many people in the area yet apart from our neighbours.

Hi Newcomer,


I'm also a first time mum to be and have been put on the waiting list for NCT courses in March for ED. I've been in ED for almost 2yrs now and know a few mum's but would be great to meet you at NCT classes or before.


Good luck with everything .x

Hi both


I am a new mum to be too.

I am due in April but have no idea about NCT. Do you join and then sign up for classes?


I would love to meet mothers to be as myself and my husband have also been in Dulwich for over 2 years now but haven't met many local people.

You can join/sign up for classes at the same time. In fact, I don't think you even need to join to sign up for the classes. If you google 'NCT' you'll be able to search for your local NCT classes on the website.


NCT stands for, I think, National Childbirth Trust. Friends have told me that the NCT is very keen on the 'natural' approach to childbirth (ie, strongly promotes breastfeeding, and also is keen on homebirths/natural pain relief techniques) so you may need to take some of the advice with a pinch of salt if you either can't or don't want to go down those routes.


However, in my view, one major benefit of the classes is that you meet other mothers at the same stage as you, which I imagine could be invaluable for me in those early days after giving birth, especially as I don't have family nearby.


(I don't work for NCT or have anything to do with it by the way, so I'm only repeating my own opinion here, and I'm sure there may be lots of other classes you could attend which would also do a similar job to NCT)

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By first mate · Posted

      I would like to understand this promise by the Greens in greater detail and how it applies locally? Presumably road/pavement upkeep and renewal is as important for cyclists and pedestrians as motorists? I am not aware of plans to build new roads locally but there has been plenty of money spent on converting roads into pedestrian only areas. On the face of it this feels a slightly empty statement, when applied at local level. I'd love to know the Greens stance in hiring out parks for private use (given impact on park environment), I'd also like to understand their stance on fireworks- I will look to see if I can find anything. I don't know if a manifesto exists under the documents section of Southwark Greens, but you can only access that bit by signing in- which is disappointing. If anyone has a manifesto that reflects local priorities- could they post a link?

      Will Mandelson be accepted across the pond.

      You are most likely correct in thinking that  Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew it.  But they obviously thought that his skills, abilities and usefulness far outweighed the negatives. Here is a summary of the positives lifted from elsewhere:-   1. Strategic Architect: He was a primary architect of "New Labour," rebranding the party and shifting its core ideology to win the 1997 general election. 2 Master of Communication: Often called the original "spin doctor," he revolutionised how political parties manage the media. He famously created the "grid" system to coordinate government messaging. 3 Networking and Charm: Known as "Silvertongue," he possesses a peerless ability to charm and network with high-level global figures, including business leaders and heads of state. 4. Governance and Trade Expertise: Beyond strategy, he was considered a highly efficient minister, serving as European Commissioner for Trade and Secretary of State across multiple departments, including Business and Northern Ireland.  5. Reinvention: His capacity to adapt to changing political climates and rebuild relationships reflects personal resilience and strategic flexibility. With his skill and abilities, he delivered results for all his bosses. In the short time in Washington, he found a way to get on the right side of Trump - despite him  being critical of Trump in previous years. That said he is complex personality.  He can be simultaneously brilliant and arrogant, thick-skinned yet sensitive, and selfless for his party while appearing narcissistic in his personal dealings.  My OP asked if he would be accepted over the pond. It turned out he was because he got on famously with trump. He worked out the correct strategy to get on the good side of Trump and secured a better trade deal than the EU and other nations.

      Malumbu, do you happen to know what the current figure is for "trips into town made by walking, cycling and public transport"?

      Before voting, do you not think it's logical to evaluate each party on its policies and make a tally of the reasons "For" and "Against" voting for each party.
