Dear admin


My friends and I are trying to organise a street party on 2 June - we are all volunteers and are putting substantial amounts of our time and effort into doing this. We get no gain of any kind out of it other than a warm glow from helping people to get together.


We try to advertise this on EDF so that people know when to turn up.

We ask for the loan of gazebos to help keep those people dry.

Both of things are essential and we are trying to use the forum as a community resource to help us get the message out to people.


You move both threads to bits of the forum which get maybe two and a half hits a week. Why?


On the other hand, we could start some kind of artificial argy bargy that incidentally publicises the street party and asks for the loan of gazebos. You'd probably allow us to keep that in the main threads. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Could you possibly move our gazebo request at least back to the main drag?


thanks

You do know why there is a wanted section and a whats on section don't you?


Appreciate you are doing something off your own back but you want something and you are organising something that's on.


136 views for the "gazebo wanted" thread in 2 days is rather different to your "2 and a half hits a week. "


The whats on post has nearly 500 views - that is no small amount


If I was admin I would find the tone of your post in here a bit pissy (no matter how much I support what you are doing)

150-odd views of 'gazebo wanted' by now, but no gazebos on offer - clearly the EDF is not read by people with gazebos.

Lost cats, yes, dodgy plumbers, yes, but no gazebos.


I am also puzzled. Can you please un-puzzle me.

I thought I'd posted this in a section which said 'Ask Admin'. I get a reply from you. Are you Admin?

Sure


Admin is increasingly busy and if you are waiting for him to answer you could be waiting a long time. I replied because I'm a nosy ex admin assistant an thought your post was pitched in a way unlikely to elicit sympathy


I can't help with the lack of local gazebo action but I hope the event goes well (and you get the weather)

I've not really looked into it but as long as we act accordingly i.e. take down anything that we are made aware of that is obviously defamatory, and/or comply with the authorities requests as soon as we can, then we should be fine.


So no, I don't think it'll make a difference round here. The onus is on the individuals to stay within the law and I don't want them using the forum as a tool to 'anonymously' break the law.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
