For 11th Jan we have a new longish ride from Cutty Sark to Hall Place, Bexley and a short Thames Loop ride from Canada Water, this one of our regular routes.
 
11th Jan, Ride 1, Cutty Sark to Hall Place  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cutty-sark-to-hall-place-cycle-ride-tickets-1128830314859  >  Hall Place started as a Tudor mansion and was then extended in the 17th century. There is lots of history, fine gardens and a modern Riverside Café (info at https://www.hallplace.org.uk/). Start 10am, Cutty Sark, near the foot tunnel entrance. To begin the ride, we go up Greenwich hill then across Blackheath. Then to Eltham Park South, then on to Danson Park on the left and Blackfen on the right. From there to Hall Place. This ride is mostly cycle path and quiet roads. After our coffee break will return by the route we came. Aim to finish by 1:30pm. Mike K. leading.
 
11th Jan, Ride 2, Thames Loop  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/thames-loop-cycle-ride-from-canada-water-tickets-1127942740099 >  Always something new to see on this favourite short anti-clockwise loop that follows the Thames on both banks. This easy 11 mile ride uses DLR to cross river at Greenwich (travel pass or equivalent needed) and returns over London Bridge. Meet up 10am in Deal Porter Square, opposite Canada Water Station and next to Canada Water Library. Route includes Russia Woodland, Deptford Historic Waterfront, Mudchute DLR, Shadwell Basin and canal-side paths to St Katherines. Coffee stop on return leg. No hills, mostly off road, cycle lanes or quiet streets. Simon K. leading. It will be possible to join the ride at Greenwich Station. Meet 10.25am outside the front of the station on Greenwich High Rd, near the Novotel (not by the DLR entrance). Please indicate on the registration form that you will be joining at Greenwich.

Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By Sue · Posted

      You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

      Forest Hill Road Group Practice, Patient Participation Group (PPG), Next Meeting, 6:30pm, Thursday 23rd January 2025

      I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
