Hi Everyone,

Save the date!

The next meet up will be Sat 13th December in the eve. We will meet in The Rye pub before going to the film. I will post times once the Peckhma Plex publish their times (usually a few days before).

For those who haven't been before: we are a friendly bunch of ED locals who meet up every 6 weeks or so for a gossip and a film! Many good friends have been made over the last couple of years, and new people still come every time which is brilliant. We usually go back to the pub after the film.

Hope to see you there, Louisa

Hi Everyone,

Save the date - Sat 13th Dec pm.

We will meet in The Rye Pub and then head down to the Peckham Plex. I will post exact times once the Plex do, usually a few days before, but it be will some time in the evening.

For those of you who've never been: we are a friendly bunch of locals who meet for a film and a gossip! Many good friends have been made over the past couple of years and new people come each time which is great. We always meet in the pub, walk down to the cinema together and then back to the pub afterwards!

Hope to see you there, Louisa

Hi Everyone,

Film Club is one week today - Sat 13th Dec.

The Plex haven't published their films yet, but check back for what time we'll meet in The Rye pub (sometime in eve) and which film we'll see.

Cheers! L

Hi Guys,

Let's go and see a Jude Law film called Black Sea. It has excellent reviews, so should be a good night!

It starts at the Peckham Plex at 20:55. Let's leave the pub by 8:15 to buy our tickets (by all means buy them in advance if you'd prefer).

So let's meet at 7:15 in the Rye Pub so we have a good hour to meet and catch up, and hopefully say hello to new people!


Here's some blurb about the film:


Kevin Macdonald's BLACK SEA is a British thriller about a submarine captain who leads a crew on the hunt for some Nazi gold, believed to be at the bottom of the Black Sea.

Hi Everyone,

Film club is tomorrow, Sat 13th Dec. Meet at the Rye pub 7:15pm. Leave at 8:15 for the Plex to watch Black Sea at 20:55.

Look forward to seeing you and meeting new people! PM me with any questions! L

Hi Everyone,

Our first meet up of 2015 will be on Sat 31st Jan in the evening. Exact timings will be on this thread a few days before hand (the plex publish their films and timings on the Tuesday before), but keep that evening free if you'd like to come along!

We are a friendly bunch of locals who meet every few weeks for a drink at the Rye Hotel, a film at the Plex (?4.99!!) and then usually another drink back at the Rye.

Newbies really welcome!

Can I ask a really odd question - what is the average age. I am not ancient and really enjoy the cinema and go frequently but I like the sound of this but would feel a bit out of it if everyone is early 20's!!!! Thanks very much Janet (and Mike)

Hi Everyone,

Film club is next Saturday 31st Jan.

I've had a couple of requests to see Wild, which looks brilliant! Not sure about timings yet though, but fingers crossed it's on at a decent time.

The plex will publish their times hopefully on Tuesday/Wednesday, so check back for meeting time at the Rye Hotel.

Cheers! Luisa

Hi All,


The Plex aren't showing Wild on Saturday, so I've gone with another request, Ex Machina. It has excellent reviews and should be really good! I'll put some info about it at the bottom of this post.

The film starts at 9:10. The Plex is sometimes really busy, so it might be worth booking online before hand, but we will leave plenty of time to get to the cinema and buy tickets for those not buying in advance. But obviously I can't guarantee tickets!

So plan of action:

Meet in Rye Hotel Pub at 7:30 (I'll post on here where I am). I should have the film clacker board with me!

Leave the pub at about 8:30 for the Plex

Film at 9:10.


As always, newbies very welcome!


See you on Sat, Luisa


Running Time: 108mins


EX_MACHINA is an intense psychological thriller in which Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a 24 year old coder at the world?s largest internet company, wins a competition to spend a week at a retreat belonging to the company?s reclusive CEO, Nathan (Oscar Isaac). But when Caleb arrives he finds that he will have to participate in a fascinating experiment with the world?s first true artificial intelligence, housed in the body of a beautiful robot woman, Ava (Alicia Vikander). Truths, emotions and motives are blurred as the relationship between Caleb, Ava and Nathan intensifies.

You're not meant to post things like that Charlie, you might discourage all the lovely new people who are deliberating about coming! Watch the trailer and read the reviews, it may sway you. But defo come for the drink!

Ignore Charlie everyone hahaha, it's going to be ace!!! And if it's not I'll point you in the direction of the people that requested it hahaha x

Hi Everyone,

Film club is tonight! meeting 7:30 in the rye pub. I'll post on here where I am. We'll leave at about 8:30 for

Ex-Machina at 9:10. Buy tickets in advance if you want, up to you!

Hopefully there'll be time for a drink after. Luisa

    • 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.
