Men and women...Mixed Footie at Peckham Rye Park

[Alexandra LMS]

Hi,

is there mixed football tonight 7pm at dulwich hamlet football club as would like to come along?

is it one of the astro pitches of the club and do you play if it rains?

[michelle-b]

Hi Alexandra,

Yep, football is on from 7pm tonight. We usually play on astro-turf pitch 3 which is furthest away from the gate. We should be easy to spot as we're the only mixed group.

We play in all weathers :-)

I really havent played for about 10 years and was pretty lousy then - are the others honestly ok with players tripping over the ball (all be it very enthusiastically) and would I need scary stuff like shin pads??!!

[michelle-b]

Hi Alice,

We are more than okay with people not having played for years, or not played at all. That's what we're all about! We're a chilled out group with no particular rules other than to have fun, play nice and be up for coming down the pub / going out for coffee every now and then :))

Some people play in shin pads whereas others don't, I personally don't but it's totally up to you!

Come down and see what you think!

BTW we have a Facebook group called 'East Dulwich Forum Football' for anyone who would like to keep up to date with the goings on of the group.

Due to the popularity of the Saturday game, and also because of people's schedules, we're going to try an additional game on Sundays starting from tomorrow.

It is going to be slightly different to the Saturday game though:

(1) Less physical, to be more suitable and welcoming for those less inclined to the more physical game.

(2) Punctual. Meeting at 11am, kicking off very shortly after. Please be on time. Repeat offenders will not be able to play.

(3) Have fun! We don't take ourselves too seriously. We don't need a ref and we want to keep it that way!

All levels, sexes and ages (obviously not children) are welcome! It's free to all and a great way to get to know people from the area.

If you think you would prefer a more competitive game we are now reopening Saturday's to new players.

And of course for those busy at the weekends we also play on Wednesday evenings at DHFC from 7pm on pitch 3 - cost is a fiver to cover the pitch hire.

Thanks all and hopefully we'll see some new faces soon :-)

Hi All,

I'm collecting names of people who want to play footie with us on Wednesday evenings and want to book in advance. Our next block of 10 sessions will begin on 8th August. I'm not sure of the cost until I have confirmed numbers but it is looking to be less than ?30 per player. If interested please head over to our Facebook group "East Dulwich Forum Football" or PM me. We play 7pm - 8.30pm on Wednesdays at DHFC AstroTurf pitches to the rear of the club. Individual sessions are ?5 each.

This doesn't affect the Saturday games which are still free and kick off at 11am sharp on the Rye opposite The Clockhouse pub.

See you soon!

Michelle

[Laddy Muck]

As promised: Neil...don't forget to bring your ?25 next week in respect of the next 10-week block-booking period. :)

To anyone else who isn't on our Facebook page and wishes to join our fab group, we KO @ 11.00am Sats. @ PRP and @ 7pm Weds. on the astroturf pitches at the rear of DHFC. Sats are free; Weds. cost ?5 PAYG to cover the hire of the pitch.

[michelle-b]

Football tonight down at DHFC, come along if you fancy it!!

One of our lovely members put this together: http://east-dulwich-forum-football.tumblr.com/ all you could ever want to know about our group!

[Laddy Muck]

For players who are not on Facebook.

An up-to-date record of receipts and expenditure is now on FB. If you would like to view these, please let me know and I shall print out a copy for your perusal upon your next attendance.

See you soon.

For the benefit of non-Facebook-Neil and others wishing to join our group (cut and pasted from FB ):

"Next week will be week 6 of the current block-booking period, which means it's time to start thinking about whether you want to be included in the next 10-week block. The poll will close at midnight on 1st December, which gives you just over two weeks to make up your minds, after which time you will not be allowed to block-book for the next period - though you will still be able to play on a PAYG basis. Also, I would ask that you click "yes" only once absolutely certain that you wish to commit, as to have to recalculate individual costs and to request further monies from members who are expecting to pay ?X post calculation is a pain in the arse and unfair. Some points to help you decide:

- the greater the number of block-bookers, the cheaper the cost;

- a sizeable chunk of the kitty will go towards the cost, reducing it further;

- the last session under this BB period is 19th December;

- in order to allow for Xmas/NY holidays, the new BB period will resume on 9th January 2013."

Should you have any questions please speak to a member of the Group's Admin Team (Irena, Michelle, and James) as I am merely the Wonga Collector. :))

@ Mark and the EDF Admin team: thank you for this Forum xx

[Scorps]

As promised Marie... I confirm that I'd like to continue block-booking...

James, what is your EDF user name?
