Thanks for coming down last night Sue, Jah & Otta. So glad you really enjoyed yourselves. It really is a great music night out. I always feel like I'm trying to sell it when I tell people! The atmosphere is something really special in my opinion and know you know too. Please spread the word. Thanks guys and look forward to meeting seabag,kidKruger, Jeff & Andy on July 6th.

Can anyone shed some light as to what is happening with the Grove Tavern? Closed for over a year and nothing on the Stonegate Pub's website except that it is temporarily closed. Rumours abound that is going to be a Tesco but I've heard nothing concrete. For this remarkable historic Tavern to be closed is truly sad for Dulwich. Once a college where Lord Byron was schooled and renowned in the sixties for its modern food. Displays of hams and charcuterie were laid out alongside home-made potato salad and coleslaw, something that few locals had seen, let alone ate, at the time! Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton would come in for a plate alongside celebrities of the day such as the cast of 'The Avengers' and the obligatory politician or three. For it to have become a lowly 'Harvester' was bad enough but to see it boarded up is terrible. Any clues/information would be gratefully received.

Anyone wishing to learn, play or simply watch lawn bowls in stunning, secluded surroundings with a cheap bar, large clubhouse (brand new kitchen & toilets). We will make you very welcome. Huge resurgence in the game due to it being social, fun, very retro and a bit bonkers! please contact Martin: email - [email protected] Southwark Sports Bowls & Social Club, Clubhouse, Dulwich Common, SE21 7EU (020 8693 0646) ***Free coaching and equipment*** Ps. When Kimsi says we are competitive, that's because we not only have lots of social friendly games but have teams in midweek and weekend leagues and enter the local competitions NOT because we take it overly seriously!!!
