Dulwich parkrun* has been chosen to participate in a pilot scheme, in partnership with Run Mummy Run (RMR)**, starting on 28 November, looking at ways to introduce and encourage more people to the fun of parkrun.


* Parkrun is a free, timed 5km event ? you can run, walk or jog. http://www.parkrun.org.uk/dulwich/

** Run Mummy Run (RMR) is an online community of women who run. http://www.runmummyrun.co.uk


I am the parkrun/RMR run buddy for Dulwich parkrun. I will be attending 2-3 parkruns each month, and will be the point of contact for new runners, particularly those who might be a bit nervous about attending on their own, or who don?t feel confident running 5k (don?t worry about being too slow, parkrun?s ethos is one of inclusivity ? it is a timed run, not a race). Our aim is to encourage more people (women, men and children) to attend parkrun. Children under the age of 11 must stay with their responsible adult.


The start area for Dulwich parkrun is on the main carriageway nearest to the Queen Mary?s Gate entrance (entrance off the South Circular, Dulwich Common). My meeting point will be near to the parkrun flag / bench, from 8:30am. I?ll be wearing a Run Mummy Run hoodie.


There is plenty of free parking at Dulwich park (enter via the Old College Gate entrance). Don?t forget to sign up for parkrun in advance of the event and print off your barcode. http://www.parkrun.org.uk/register/form/


To enable us to assess the success of the pilot, if you are attending parkrun as part of the RMR group and you are not already affiliated to a running club, please would you add Run Mummy Run as your running club details on your parkrun profile (women only, I?m afraid!) This will enable us to see how many participants of the pilot there are each week.

Just a reminder, if you are coming to Dulwich parkrun tomorrow, don't forget to register for parkrun and print off and bring along your barcode. Also, if you are not already affiliated to a running club, please add Run Mummy Run as your club so that we can use this to monitor the success of the pilot (women only). Thanks and hopefully see some of you tomorrow.

    • Hi Theron. I didn't know about Zip vans but you're the second person today to tell me about them. Really helpful, thank you!
    • If you drive you can use a zip van, I've used them plenty before to move beds sofas etc
    • Our tenants association are looking for some to take some sort of fitness in our tenants association hall.  The hall can probably hold 40 ish people We would like a class once a week to begin with for the maturer residence 40 plus  We had a Zumba gold before but unfortunately the teacher retired.  The rates for the hall would be very reasonable for a trial period to cut costs for tenants and to see if it suits the teacher too  please get in touch via PM and let’s get moving!!
    • Avoid a private purchase on Autotrader or wherever UNLESS you know the tricks and scams of the used car market and are a competent vehicle scrutiniser. Believe me, the "private" seller market is a jungle for the unwary and inexperienced. There's lots of devious practices for the unaware and uninitiated. Trust me, I've been in the new/used vehicle  market for 30 years. If you really want to buy private, the n tell the seller you will buy it subject to a thorough inspection by an AA or RAC engineer. If they don't agree then walk away, fast.  As for auctions, that's even worse - especially with Copart where you never get to inspect the car "in the flesh". You have to work off their photos and descriptions which are rarely accurate. BCA and Mannheim auctions are the big auction houses and are better . It's  where the used-car trade buy  a lot of their stock. The trade buyers will spot a private buyer a mile off and will bid you up and dump you with an over-priced lemon so that you don't come back. Ex-Motability cars have a history of regular services and are well sought after. Consequently, they command a good price. CarGiant and some other outlets have a good percentage of ex-Mobility stock. Plus they check each car and so you have assurance. PS. I checked your link and could not find any ex-Motability cars there. There's quite a few high performance units such as Porsche Panamera and Jaguar I Pace.
