Hi Jane,


Thank you for your kind words! Our first issue will come out on May 6th, which coincides with the start of this year's Dulwich Festival.


Like The Peckham Peculiar, we will be stocked by local shops, pubs, bars and cafes - we hope to have around 100 stockists (if not more!).


We'll make sure that we'll have an updated list of our stockists online (at http://dulwichdiverter.tumblr.com) - this information will be available from the weekend we come out.


Finally, a quick update on our crowdfunding...


So far, we've raised ?6,658 thanks to 98 generous backers! ?1,285 has come via the East Dulwich Forum so a huge thanks to all who've backed us! If you're interested in seeing what our plans for the newspaper are, please go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/peckhampeculiar/the-dulwich-diverter-a-free-local-community-newspa/


Many thanks,


Mark and Kate and all at The Dulwich Diverter

Hi all,


A quick update on The Dulwich Diverter...


We now have 117 backers (and almost ?1.3k of funding has come via the East Dulwich Forum) so a huge thanks to all who've backed us!


We've already reached our minimum target (and we've still got 30 days to go) so all of the additional money will be invested into increased circulation and/or helping produce future editions, and keeping the project alive throughout 2016 and beyond.

Hi everyone,


Issue one of The Dulwich Diverter officially launches on May 5th, but we've distributed a couple of hundred early copies this afternoon! You can pick them up at about 15 places across Dulwich, including Chener Books, Hop Burns & Black, The Palmerston, Roullier White and Rye Books.


Hope you enjoy reading it!


Kate, Mark and all at The Dulwich Diverter

I picked it up on Saturday and enjoyed it cover to cover, congratulations on a massive achievement.


There's room to be more provocative, creative, alternative and exploratory in the space outside the existing local free press and I hope you grow into that sort of direction.


Congratulations, good luck and keep it up please.

    • And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.
    • Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!
    • I'd also like to highly recommend Niko. He just replaced the extraction fan in our bathroom, having previously installed a new tap for us. Fast, professional and a really great guy. 
    • Agree with this. He's stood down from his role in Cabinet having left the Party, but he was elected as a representative of all the constituents in his ward and logic suggests that he should continue to represent them as a councillor for his remaining 3 months. He might wish to stand again, as a Green, in that ward (if he's chosen) and hope that personal loyalty to him might transfer, but that's now the call of his (new) party and him. He will have to balance that with a view about how many of his Labour supporters will feel sufficiently betrayed to continue to support Labour. I suspect, I may be wrong, that he will not have a cabinet position open to him after May (unless the Greens sweep in locally) so presumably he will have to consider his next career move, and whether that's back to full-time primary teaching.
