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.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?

      Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      By mima08 · Posted

      There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
