Sydenham Town Forum

I think "shout down" is the proper description. For ordinary non-political folk who had joined a non-political Carnival March, with some children dressed up as book characters, and who wanted to show solidarity with campaigners who have worked hard on their behalf to try to keep the threat...

Who's "we", please, and what are "us" expected to sing?

Another good read - "Ghost Town Britain" - the New Economics Foundation report about the effect of retail parks on local town centres. Lewisham has a lot to answer for since they approved planning permission for a retail park as close to the town centre as Bell Green. Lewisham is also payi...

Another "bump"

Just to "bump" this up the ladder above "retro" thread

Sorry - has become more approprate to "Town Pub" now.

And, as every time someone responds to trivial topics it brings the topic back to the top I shall now refrain from further comment, especially with regard to this thread.

Is this really "Town Hall" stuff? Surely this should be relegated to "Town Cafe?"

It amazes me how many posters overload "Town Hall" with trivia thus downgrading matters of more importance to all local residents.

Fed up of Sydenham Town Forum- off my chest now!

Let's hope they have learned the lesson of how not annoy the local population by the time they have their bi-centenary celebration

Good spoof and a great laugh last night - maybe slightly long, but what the heck! Food was plentiful and service was excellent. Whatever hiccups there were on the first night seem to have been well ironed out. If anyone was wavering after the first reviews there are tickets for next week's extra per...

Surely if you are that interested, Sean, the best way to find out is to take a stroll round Alexandra Park and see for yourself....?

I'd share a bottle of wine with you anytime, dear Stuart. However I noticed that you didn't bring one with you and so removed my gear from the chair next to you! Nothing personal in that, as I had already brought my own groundsheet and wasn't planning to commandeer a chair. Well done, you and Mrs St...

Last night a talk on the lost worlds of British Cinema by Matthew Sweet, local author and broadcaster, at Sydenham Library was followed by the screening of the Bride of Frankenstein in Home Park With a break from the heavy rain just before 7 pm a decision to go ahead was bravely taken. The screen wa...

Dear Diary Saturday evening - Joined about 250 people who turned up at Sydenham Girls School to be well entertained by John Hegley and his friends, Ronnie McGrath and Chrissie Gittens (local residents), hosted by Festival Poet in Residence, Gale Burns. What a treat and a most enjoyable evening of fu...

Looks very official - but doesn't say where in Sydenham this event may occur - anyone else know anything?

Oh, yes - let's widen the bridge and lower the road and create the Catford by-pass

Oh, come on, guys. Bums on seats keep local facilities going and this means means money at the Box Office.

With no purpose-built cinema in Lewisham (what an utter disgrace!) I'll vote for mainstream at Beckenham and go to Greenwich for the avant garde!

Strange - my diary doesn't have a week beginning the 14 February?

It sounds like Admin wants to get into birthday mode, methinks.....

Strange, I thought the "club" over Gymophobics was the Jimmy Small Dance Centre where my children learned to dance ballroom and Latin American in the 1990s. They even gained medals in different disciplines.

I wasn't aware of any Ronnie Knight connection......

Dont care who is fighting whom - well done this weekend's Sydenham GGs - lovely job - and more strength to your elbow.

Bollards to leenewham - your challenge next?

...until you have to step into the road at lunchtime as I did the other day to avoid a couple of the street drinkers having a "friendly dust up". Also, although I dont feel in need of it yet, the company that occupy the seats outside the Post Office are probably more than a bit intimidatin...
