Hi,


I'm new to the area and looking to start running again after a 6 month hiatus. Can anyone recommend any groups? Or does anyone fancy a running partner, or maybe a few of us could run together?


I've seen park run but don't quite fancy committing every Saturday morning to an early start. Plus it helps my motivation if I've promised someone I'll be somewhere. I could easily ignore the clock for park run :)


Thanks,


Ashley

Hi Ashley a small group of us run on a Monday morning at 930 from Dulwich Park usually, through the woods when its not too muddy. We are pretty slow but you are welcome to join us. we run 5-6 K usually unless someone is injured. Coffee afterwards is virtually mandatory!

Let me know if you are interested,

Louise

Just off for a run to Brockwell park

Hi Ashley, you could try Good Gym Southwark. They meet at Old Spike roastery, Peckham Rye on Wednesday evenings, run as a group, complete a task and then run back. It might help with your motivation and avoids the mornings! See www.goodgym.org for details. But if you can get up on Saturdays I highly recommend Peckham Rye parkrun :)

I don't know if our group may suit? Meet 10am every Saturday outside the Rye caf? in the park.


We are a varied bunch, some run, some power walk. We stop every 3-400 metres to do resistance exercises so the stop/start might bother you.


PM if you want more details, it's all led by us and a coffee at the end encourages bonding...

    • Very sad to see H&B on LL. Will still go to Health Matters! 
    • H&B Is coming to Lordship Lane  It will be next to the Large St Christophers in Lordship Lane Also just to confirm that Oliver Bonas is taking over the 2 white stuff shops (i spoke to the builders yesterday and they confirmed they are breaking through to combine all three shops)
    • So here we go again, but with a proposal for a bigger and longer event. This despite the massive failings (again) last year with serious & long lasting damage to our park throughout the summer, lack of effective waste management, widespread public nuisance by the attendees, and of course the noise. Every year GALA are set conditions for their event licence, every year they fail to meet them, then every year they are granted a licence again - depressing. First impressions from the site plan - the proposed footprint has increased dramatically, sprawling further down & across our park (image attached with 2024 footprint in orange & 2025 extension in red). There  will be a music stage within 50m of our front room. The entrance area will be on a sports pitch. The trackway for heavy plant access will be across two sports fields. The entrance / exit for heavy plant will be opposite a school. The road at that point is regularly gridlocked due to parked & waiting cars. Increased trackway = increased damage to grass. I'm sure there's plenty more that is unacceptable... It's clear that we all need to comment on this consultation, but it's not clear how to actually add comments / participate. The email & consultation document both direct you to the GALA page on the council website - www.southwark.gov.uk/Gala2025 - but this only has details of the GALA PR sessions, not the official consultation. I've raised this with the council, I'll post if I get a response. I've also raised the issue that the council's Outdoor Event Policy states that "Applications for major events must be submitted a minimum of nine months prior to the event start date.", which would have been August 29th 2024 for this application. This is apparently necessary to give sufficient time for things like consultations...
    • I'm sorry to see another chain opening up in the form of Holland and Barratt a couple of doors up from SMBS.  That will be another unfair pressure on SMBS .  I really hope people continue to support SMBS and its relative shop The Cheese Block under huge pressure with the arrival of Mons and Bora.  These are two of the oldest surviving (30 years plus?) green grocers, deli and unusual ingredient food shops in Lordship Lane and made it an interesting high street long before the chains and  newbies moved in.  I would think Healthmatters is none too happy either 😕 Support your local independent store or Lordship Lane will get really dull
