Hello forum!


I've recently taken over as coordinator of the lovely NCT's Bumps&Babes group, which is held from 10-12 on Mondays at Goose Green community centre, for ladies with bumps, and for parents with babes aged up to 18 months. It's a lovely group, and has stopped me and Baby Baldock from going insane on more than one occasion. It's run by volunteers, and we currently have 8 of us...however, we are in need of more! Volunteers host in teams of two, typically once a month or so at the moment.

If anyone is interested in volunteering, or is wondering what it involves, do send me a PM or e-mail me directly on [email protected]


Ta v much!

Hi Ruth,


I'm running the NCT Early Days Postnatal Course at the Goose Green Centre starting in January.

It will be on Monday afternoons from 1.30-3.30p.m. If any of your group would like to come please could you get them to contact Alison on [email protected]? Thanks. There's posters going up in East Dulwich with details on or people can get more info on the nct website.

Another 'cry' for help! More of my volunteers have had to reluctantly leave the group!


Some more information about what volunteering involves: Hosts arrive at Goose Green Community Centre at 9.45ish, to set up. This involves putting toys and mats down, setting up a table for the refreshments and donations and flyers, making said refreshments (i always delegate this bit of hosting, my teas are AWFUL). At the end, we do the whole thing in reverse. And thats it! Very easy, and you get to meet lots of Mums and babies. I always come away from sessions feeling a lot more positive and less like I am going to break Baby Baldock in the next 5 days or so; it's a lovely way to start the week.

    • Possibly a little specialist (and the ultimate eventual clothes horse unless you're into fitness!) but we have the Pivot: PIVOT | Ultimate Space-Saving Bed & Home Gym Solution It's a full weight Olympic squat rack which pulls down from the wall into a double/king bed. When we bought it as a Kickstarter project it was less expensive than a murphy bed from places like the Wall Bed Company, though this may no longer be the case. Super easy to put together ourselves.
    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
