Hello to all you fellow hardworking East Dulwich PTA committee members and fair organisers out there! (waves tiredly)


It's Summer Fair season for our local schools - this coming Saturday alone there are fairs at Goodrich, Goose Green and here at Heber. If you've got a young family, do come along and check them out - they're a cheap, fun way to spend a few hours, and you get to support your local community schools. You don't need to have a child at the school to attend.


Feel free to use this thread to plug your own school's fair - they tend to get a bit lost in the What's On section. For our part, Heber's fair is this Saturday 6 July from 12-3pm at Heber School, Heber Road SE22. We've got a 'Carnival of Nations' theme this year, so in addition to our usual giant inflatables, crazy games and popular cafe, we've got lots of international food, activities and live entertainment, from Jamaican jerk chicken to Japanese calligraphy to Irish dancing. Make a Brazilian-style carnival headdress in our craft area, get your face painted with a flag, have a go at the Las Vegas-themed human fruit machine or hang out in La Guinguette, with its authentic French food, drink and games. There'll be a grand carnival parade just before 3pm led by a Samba-style parent/teacher band, and we'll be giving out spot prizes to children in international dress or carnival outfits.


Hope to see you there!

Good thinking HP+F

Goose Green has our traditional (10th annual!) carnival parade across Grove Vale down Ondine and up Adys to Goose Green where our fair begins at 12pm.


The parade is great the whole school out singing led by the school samba and steel pan bands.


We have a packed schedule on stage including the talented choirs and there will be hot food including pizza, Thai and jerk chicken and a fully stocked bar.


Panning for gold, bouncy castle and slides, sideshow type pocket money games, coconut shy, facepainting etc


Raffle with fab prizes including a Kindle Fire HD, London Eye tickets and tickets to the Dr Who Prom at the Royal Albert Hall as well as loads of lovely prizes from our fabulous local businesses.


Oh and Dr Bike will be present offering free bike servicing.


See you there

Bring on the sunshine

Just to add to the mix, the Goodrich School summer fair is tomorrow, 1-4pm.


A great way to spend the afternoon meeting people from the local school and community. Particuarly good introduction to the school community if your child is starting there in September.


This year we have an Alice in Wonderland theme fancy dress parade, the usual fun inflatables, lots of Arts and crafts, Live entertainment, A Summer show, great raffle prizes, food, and this year the fair ends with a spectacular balloon race.

If anyone still has energy for another school fair, the Ivydale School Summer Fair will be on this coming Saturday, 13th July, 2-5pm.


All the usual attractions, bouncy castle, lots of games and crafts, smashing tea-room with cold drinks too, ice creams, fire engine, great DJ, our first Gangnam style dance off.....too many things to list really and others confirming as we speak.


Looks like the sun will be shining so why not come along and enjoy what is always a lovely community day out.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
