The local RSPCA will be having a micro-chipping day for dogs on Sunday 9th August from 12 noon to 4pm.


The session will take place at the RSPCA London South East Branch shop at 380 Norwood Road, West Norwood, SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road).


Whilst this is not an East Dulwich event, the RSPCA has assured me that Dulwich and East Dulwich residents would be more than welcome.

Yep - I've seen it in the South London Press - it's for dogs and cats - will be taking one of my cats along. I've already had one chipped by the RSPCA in a Bermondsey free event a couple of years ago and they were really friendly and helpful. Don't know if it makes any difference if they are chipped as she went missing a year ago and noboby would have know she was chipped. (Somebody took her in because of poster I had posted). I now put collars on mine for most of the time but don't really like doing this as one of my neighbours recently found Trixie's collar in her garden - so somehow she has been caught up in something and collar has come free (which it's supposed to do).


Will still have Honey chipped on Sunday though!

There will be another micro-chipping session for local pet owners this Sunday 11 October from 12 noon to 4pm.


At the last session, on 9th August, 96 animals were microchipped and the RSPCA received almost ?200 in donations - thank you to everyone who made a contribution. So far this year the local RSPCA has chipped over 1200 animals - a fantastic achievement.


The session will, once again, take place at the RSPCA London South East Branch shop at 380 Norwood Road, West Norwood, SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road). Pet owners from East Dulwich and the surrounding area will be very welcome.

After a fantastically successful pet chipping day in October (see above) when 124 animals were chipped and donations of ?270 were made, a new chipping session will take place this weekend.


The RSPCA shop in West Norwood will have a free microchipping day on Sunday 6th December from 12 noon until 4pm. The shop is located at 380 Norwood Road, London SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road).


The RSPCA (as at 12 October) had chipped 1781 animals this year and is hoping that over 2000 will be chipped by the end of the year.


The branch covers the whole of south-east London so users of the East Dulwich Forum are welcome to take advantage of this session. And do please consider making a donation to support this and the other excellent work carried out by the RSPCA locally.

The only downside to these events is the long queues. The last one I took my cat to at the West Norwood shop I had to come away after 10 minutes because there were so many dogs barking madly at all the cats that my cat was too traumatised. I know people will be thinking oh so what but here's a thought - why not have a separate cat chipping session and a dog one?


Just a thought?

Correct the Q is always long but the waiting time is usually less than one hour.


Although it would be good to hold a separate chipping day for cats this is not possible as the events are run by volunteers who give up their time.

Last year the London South East RSPCA Branch chipped over 2300 animals including 107 at their last microchipping day in December.


The next free microchipping day at the RSPCA shop in West Norwood will be this Sunday 7th February from 12 noon until 4pm. The shop is located at 380 Norwood Road, London SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road).


The branch covers the whole of south-east London so I would reiterate my earlier advice that users of the East Dulwich Forum are welcome to take advantage of this session. And please do consider making a donation to support this and the other excellent work carried out by the RSPCA locally.

Edited to add: Sorry - I had meant to include the following information from the RSPCA which will be helpful if you intend to take advantage of their chipping session this weekend:

I took my cats to the last one and yes I had to wait, but for no more than an hour and considering it is a FREE (donation only) service - I am extremely grateful that other people donate enough to the RSPCA for them to be able to do this. Most of the dogs that turn up are very well behaved I found and it was little trouble to keep my cats away from any curious ones.

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
