To celebrate 10 years of the East Dulwich Writers' Group, we've published an anthology consisting of short stories, novel extracts and poems by 18 members of EDWG. The title, Hoovering the Roof, was chosen by a poll publicised on this forum and elsewhere. Some of the contributors are published authors, some yet-to-be, and we have at least 2 people who are winners of prestigious competitions. This eclectic collection reflects the diversity of the EDWG members and should contain something for everyone. Ideal as a seasonal gift!


The book will be available from next week at local bookshops and online at Amazon or via our website (with a discount). See www.edwg.co.uk for details.


We're holding a launch event at the Crow on the Hill bookshop next Thur (see What's On for details).


To be entered into a lucky dip to win a copy of the book signed by all the contributors, please email me at [email protected]

Hot off the press! I've just had an email saying the books have arrived - earlier than expected, which is great news.


We'll be getting them in bookshops over the next few days but meanwhile you can order copies with a ?1 discount via our website as above.


Or better still - come to one of the launch events. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?6,369549

Thanks, guys. Last night we finally held copies of the book in our hot little hands. And it's great - a real celebration of the creative writing talent alive and well in this little corner of SE London.


Hope we see lots of you at the launch events at the Bookseller Crow on the Hill on Thursday and next Monday at Dulwich Library. See What's On for details.


And you can order the book online at www.edwg.co.uk

  • 2 weeks later...

We've had 2 very successful launch events and sold 19 copies of Hoovering the Roof at the Bookseller Crow on the Hill last week and another 11 at the Dulwich Library event on Monday. We're planning further events in the new year.


We'll be selling the anthology and other books and music by EDWG members on a stall in North Cross Road this Saturday 10.30-3.00 and for the next 2 Saturdays. Our resident musician, Dan Maitland, will be popping over for some lively busking. Feel free to come along and say hello. (And buy a copy of the book, of course. Did I mention what a great seasonal gift it would make?)


If you can't make it to the stall, the book is now available at all the local bookshops, via our website www.edwg.co.uk and on Amazon.

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
