Great, thank you.

Does anyone send their children to St Bartholomew's pre-school in Sydenham? I've just put my son down for next year but wondered if anyone can give the low-down. Is it a nice place? Are the kids happy? Thanks! Louie

I saw Erin O'Connor at playgroup and Kate Thornton at a toddler class. That count?

I've solved the problem by joining JAGS sports club instead. It's actually CHEAPER than ED Fusion amazingly. You can't use it during school hours but it's ten times nicer.

Honaloochie B - I will take your advice and report back!

I nearly pissed myself laughing reading this thread. Although I do have slightly dodgy pelvic floor muscles...

Yes we did, thank you. The Bishop was a veritable hotbed of talent. Still, we had to do all the running though. British men really don't seem to make the first move anymore! True or false?!

Oh no! Didn't get this message in time. Will look out for the next forum do. Had a great night in the Bishop in the end. Thanks!

Where's Adventure? Never heard of it! Thanks for reply.

Hello, Any idea where good looking single men from East Dulwich go on a Friday night or do they all stay out in town? Going out with my (gorgeous yet single) sister tonight but the last time we went out in ED we were sorely disappointed by the talent - especially in the Palmerston. Any ideas gratefully received!

Trish makes a good point when she says the people who run these classes have to pay franchise fees. I looked in to starting up a music class and the average fee for buying one of these franchises was about ?5000. This does include a lot but it means that a new class leader could work 10 hours a week for a year and make no money at all!

All good points - I could become a member but because of my young baby, I don't always know when I'm going to make it to the gym. Once a week is probably what I would manage which would work out more expensive. I guess I'll just start running instead! Marmora man - that ?87 is just from one hour in one studio. At the same time they have a gym, a pool, a creche and other studios all going and all generating income. I'm not denying they have a lot of overheads - but I still think ?7.25 is a rip off!

Is it just me or is Fusion East Dulwich ridilously expensive for a council gym? I'm not a member but I just went to do an exercise class and it cost me ?7.25. There were 12 people in the class which means they made ?87 in one hour. Is it any wonder lots of people are overweight if that's how much it costs? There, rant over...
