Can't see 72 ever being a possibility unless we decide to have an early-week session (oh but the sounds!)


Quite a few people live over the Rye side of Dulwich anyway so I would say that the Rye Hotel or Nun's Head or even the new place (Village?) over that way would be eminently reachable/do-able/suitable. If it means less people (and I'm not convinced it does) then one upside is being able to talk to more people - when there are upwards of 35 people it's impossible to talk to a fraction of the people one would like to...


But that's for the NEXT time - the Mag has been chosen so let's not restart that debate... don't want the organising commitee to have a fit ;-)

Hi all


I will be very much looking forward to it being a Newbe to the EDF. Still trying to get my head around how it all works. Do i turn up with name plate hehehehe!!!! or do I put on my bold and brave hat and work up to the first strange person I see::o what a conundrum!!!!

Either of those strategies would work, but the smart newbie would have a look at pictures of the last gathering http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,113115,page=1 before heading to the next one.

On the night you just approach the first person you recognise from the pictures. Also, hours of fun to be had speculating about who is who in the pictures, unless you're dorky enough to have been caught with your label on :-$ (those labels have got to go by the way!)

I did not realise the name tags were so offensive to you annaj.

I brought them along to make it easier for the newbies (er me) to recognise other forumistas, it was not intended to embarrass anyone and I apologise to you, and all the others who may have been labelled against their wishes.

I certainly haven't held a gun to anyones head to comply with the wearing of them.

I thought for the couple of hours which we are together it might help us all to remember more names and faces of people.

If the consensus of opinion is to scratch the use of name tags, I will immediately stop this potentially, unseemly obnoxious practice.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
