Dulwich parkrun* has been chosen to participate in a pilot scheme, in partnership with Run Mummy Run (RMR)**, starting on 28 November, looking at ways to introduce and encourage more people to the fun of parkrun.


* Parkrun is a free, timed 5km event ? you can run, walk or jog. http://www.parkrun.org.uk/dulwich/

** Run Mummy Run (RMR) is an online community of women who run. http://www.runmummyrun.co.uk


I am the parkrun/RMR run buddy for Dulwich parkrun. I will be attending 2-3 parkruns each month, and will be the point of contact for new runners, particularly those who might be a bit nervous about attending on their own, or who don?t feel confident running 5k (don?t worry about being too slow, parkrun?s ethos is one of inclusivity ? it is a timed run, not a race). Our aim is to encourage more people (women, men and children) to attend parkrun. Children under the age of 11 must stay with their responsible adult.


The start area for Dulwich parkrun is on the main carriageway nearest to the Queen Mary?s Gate entrance (entrance off the South Circular, Dulwich Common). My meeting point will be near to the parkrun flag / bench, from 8:30am. I?ll be wearing a Run Mummy Run hoodie.


There is plenty of free parking at Dulwich park (enter via the Old College Gate entrance). Don?t forget to sign up for parkrun in advance of the event and print off your barcode. http://www.parkrun.org.uk/register/form/


To enable us to assess the success of the pilot, if you are attending parkrun as part of the RMR group and you are not already affiliated to a running club, please would you add Run Mummy Run as your running club details on your parkrun profile (women only, I?m afraid!) This will enable us to see how many participants of the pilot there are each week.

Just a reminder, if you are coming to Dulwich parkrun tomorrow, don't forget to register for parkrun and print off and bring along your barcode. Also, if you are not already affiliated to a running club, please add Run Mummy Run as your club so that we can use this to monitor the success of the pilot (women only). Thanks and hopefully see some of you tomorrow.

      I agree... perhaps you could also write to our local councillors to point these things out. Never know they might actually reply! Thanks for your help speaking to Monica. She may hopefully have useful contacts re obtaining a key. Completely agree - what's on (which could include some small businesses  such as Theatre Peckham, which I think may be a charity or at least community not for profit? And school fairs type thing..) plus anything the community would find useful, such as free events for the elderly (LinkAge are active in ED and surrounding areas) and lots more.

      Brockwell Lido - in a miserable state

      Looks like they have massive issues with numbers of visitors too... “People have literally just arrived and are refusing to leave. Chaos. They booked out all the lane spaces but let people in. Absolute sh*t show.” https://www.the-londoner.co.uk/were-police-called-to-brockwell-lido/

      I agree that someone somewhere must at one point decided on their purpose, however if anything was ever written down it is probably long lost, given the turnover of councillors and council staff . The Crofton Park noticeboards I mentioned above are solely for information about the council  and various community groups and activities, plus  various community related things such as the library times and services.  I think they are very bright, interesting and inviting, however I am not going back there solely in order to take a photo The ones in East Dulwich don't have much on them because ... well, for the reasons on this thread 🤣 Quite apart from the fact that these are supposed to be community notice boards, there are all sorts of reasons why they should not be used for private businesses to advertise, as I and others have already said. Yes there have been huge changes in the area, but I can't see how those changes affect the purpose of community noticeboards, unless you think that the changes mean that there is no longer a "community" in East Dulwich. Which would be very sad indeed. Anyway, I am stepping away from this thread now, I have other things to do 🙄
