I'm not sure there was ever demand for a general meeting.


There's loads of special interest groups in the What's On section.


There's a variety of council meetings that can be attended also.


There's irregular forum drinks when someone wants to go through the paid of organizing :)

The East Dulwich Society still exsists but most of the members do not appear to want to attend meetings. I am the current vice chair and although membership money is forthcoming each year, active participation is not. The EDS used to have their AGMs at John Paul Centre behind St. Thomas More Church, but many felt it was too isolated place so it was changed to The ED Community Centre. There was a committee of around 10 people initially but deaths, moving out of district and old age have twindled the EDS down to around 5 people who meet around 4 times a year. New blood is needed and younger members ( we are all now over 60) to keep the society going. The AGM will be held in MArch/April at the Community Centre and I will put details on the Forum

It might not be quite what you had in mind, but we are a bake club and host local events every 4 to 6 weeks. If you'd like to know more or sign up to our mailing list, please feel free to get in touch: [email protected].

    • Used Mason & Green for airport transfers etc thanks to recommendations on here. Never been disappointed, always reliable. https://www.masonandgreen.co.uk/
    • I find the self diagnosis thing  a bit worrying. I once nearly died because a hospital  doctor misdiagnosed a ruptured ovarian cyst and peritonitis as food poisoning. It was lucky I hadn't initially diagnosed it as food poisoning myself and assumed  the sickness and pain would go away. I called my GP, who called an ambulance. I ended up having an emergency operation in a different hospital, the first hospital not having scanning facilities (this was in the olden days) 🙄
    • but GPs have your medical records. Perhaps  by "self diagnosis" you meant that you recognised the pain.
    • Some employers prefer older people as they are deemed to be more reliable, B and Q at one time had lots of 'older people'. I retired at 66  but on a casual visit to my old department, my former boss offered me a job saying I could name my hours. Would have loved to taken him up on it but the reason I took 'early retirement' was that my arthritis restricted my mobility re walking and standing for periods of time.  I would say it may not be ageism but not being deemed suitable for the position.  Someone I know was always looking for part time work but having spoken to her over a period of years, although she may have had the qualifications  needed for the work, her general attitude towards others and her very set views, I could understand why she found paid employment difficult to achieve. Can you do voluntary work? This may give you additional transferable skills.
