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.

      Niko the Plumber

      By bluegold · Posted

      So, on Saturday, we suddenly had a leak through on to our bedroom ceiling, with water falling onto our bed. In a panic, we messaged friends to try to find a reliable plumber who would be able to help. My oh my, did we need help. One of our friends suggested Nico; she had been a client of his for a while and recommended him very highly. Nico was unable to come during the day but said that he would visit our home in the evening. The flow of water had stopped but we kept our fingers crossed that he would turn up and that he was affordable. Nico arrived just when he said that he would, climbed up into the loft and then he explained what he was going to do and why. We agreed, the source of the leak was sorted and he gave us advice about how we could make sure that it was unlikely to happen again.  The price of the work was totally reasonable and we are genuinely grateful for his intervention. We intend to use him again and would always recommend him. Aside from his highly professional behaviour, his social skills are outstanding, he is a kind and thoughtful man. Dear Nico, thank you.

      Are there any Physical Activity (Bronze) approved providers near East Dulwich? Any ideas would be highly appreciated!

      GALA 2025

      By Marguerita98 · Posted

      The failure of the council year on year to prevent the corporate take-over of our precious public space is appalling. The consultation process this year is deliberately dumbed down and takes the form of a survey with a range of anodyne tick boxes designed to give the appearance of a 'consultation' without requiring any hard comment or information that could be used to oppose the survey.  It may be possible to get some answers from Gala themselves so I will try to do that and post here if anything forthcoming.

      Estate Agents - recommendations/avoid?

      By johnsmoth · Posted

      Avoid Acorn at all cost. Appalling service in every regard. We were involved in a sale and they repeatedly made procedural errors that delayed, and almost tanked, the sale. As buyers, they knew literally nothing about the property and were unable to answer even the most basic questions. Instead they simply lied rather than saying they didn’t know any information which caused issue in the long run. I hear only positive things about Truepenny’s.
