The Barry Bear has been tracked down. Seems he has been stretching his legs since last year..... All looking good for him to meet Barriet the Bear at the start line on the 24th July prior to being marched down to the finishing line at the Clockhouse where his wings will be clipped and he will firmly remain SE22 this year.


The double holder may not make this years event so looks like there will be a new name on the trophy this year. Now there is incentive to keep up the punishing training schedule.


Me, Im in tip top conditon this year and the unexpected warm weather training has increased my "stamina" imeasureably.


Will be in touch nearer the time with final details for those that wish to "compete" or support.


Keep up the good work. THE BEAR IS SAFE..........

Greetings Runners and Riders


Having just spent the last month in various African training camps I am proud to report that I am in a worse condition than when I went out. This of course is perfect preperation for the 3rd annual Barry Barry Road Race which is shaping up to be a jolly decent day out if not the mecca for highly tuned sprinting machines, which previous years has seen.


There will be fierce competition for the Peoples Champion prize with the winner of the 1st year's accolade facing off against the winner of last year's Peoples Champion. Dolly versus Ari - keep your eyes on this one folks, its sure to be a nailbiter.


Well folks, I just wanted to check in and make sure that you'll all be limbered up and lubed out in all the right places for the starters gun at 2pm from the Plough on Saturday 24th July. Of course, as always, there will be various warm up excercises in the Plough starting from mid day. Very much looking forward to seeing you all again and of course any new participants.


The World Cup is due for a new name on the trophy, can the same be said for the Barry Barry Bear? We shall see...


See ya at the start line Surfbobby

Just back from a weeks training with the Foreign Legion in Corsica. My short of choice this year will be a closely guarded secret...will be under wraps until the off. Bit like the covers on F1 cars in the Grand Prix. As surfbob has intimated, there will be a series of warm up exercises taking place in the Plough from noon. Novices and experienced campaigners most welcome.


For those non runners an enjoyable time can be had prior to le grande depart in the Plough then head down to greet the athletes at the finish line in the Clockhouse. Station Master Barry will hopefully be on hand to present this years prizes and of course Barry and Barriet the Bears.


There may well be a childrens party taking place in the Plough Garden as well but Im sure a cursorsy glance around will identify the runners and riders for the BBRR 2010. If the under 12's wish to compete they will be allowed a half pint, no compromise on the short.


Administration of the race will be detailed on the day. Look forward to seeing you at the start for some warm ups. Dont want any high speed plimsole blow outs down Barry Road.


Another Barry day beckons.


CHARGE....................

Training in Corsica? Wimp.


Bellenden Belle and I have just returned from a hard week's training camp in the wilds of the Yorkshire Dales. Fried breakfasts, 14-mile hikes up mountains and numerous pub stops coupled with howling winds and rain have left us battered, bruised and super barry shape.


We shall be on the start line next weekend with calves of steel and a new found love of London life.


Ho!

As much as I'd like to see the Belle-Carnell team in action, particularly David who I recall last year vowing to run every day for a year and beat everyone, I'll be giving this a miss this time. Have fun and make sure there are lots of pictures....

      Dulwich Hill SNT - "Cuppa with a Coppa"

      By Sue · Posted

      PCSOs may not need specific qualifications, but they go through a reasonably rigorous recruitment process. Or at least they used to. It may have changed.

      Dulwich Hill SNT - "Cuppa with a Coppa"

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      The ones I've dropped into may be organised by PCSOs in the SNT but regular PCs have attended. They have actually been a cuppa with a copper, but not necessarily loads of them.

      Dulwich Hill SNT - "Cuppa with a Coppa"

      By vladi · Posted

      @Pereira Neves "Cuppa with a Coppa" is a misrepresentation as PCSOs are not real police.   They have no more powers of arrest that any public citizen. They may have the "authority" to advise the regular police of a crime - just like Joe Public. One exception is that they can issue fixed penalty notices to people who cycle on a footpath. We see people cycling on the footpath every day but have never seen a PCSO issue a fixed penalty notice to anybody. No  qualifications are needed to become a PCSO.  At best, all they do is reassure and advise the public with platitudes.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Right.  Already too many people saying “labour pushed for longer and more stringent lockdowns” which if nothing else, does seem to give credence the notion that yes people can be brainwashed    Nothing ...  Nothing Labour pushed for was about longer lockdowns.  Explicitly, and very clearly they said “lock down early OR we will be locking down for longer “   ie they were trying to prevent the longer lockdowns we had   But “positive thinking” and “nothing to see here” from Johnson led to bigger problems    as for the hand-wavery about the economic inheritance and markets being spooked by labour budget - look - things did get really really and under last government and they tried to hide it.  So when someone tries to address it, no one is going to be happy.  But pretending all was tickety boo is a child’s response
