Our Rave in Brixton on Saturday - well, what an amazing afternoon. The new venue, Brixton Jamm was just perfect, with two large rooms, everything on the ground floor and a nice big enclosed terrace outside. DJ Hatcha and Amanda G both played fantastic sets to a really happy and chilled crowd of youn...

BFLF moves to Brixton JAMM on the 15th of March with headline DJ Hatcha - join us from 2 until 4.30pm for a 'Once Upon A Time' themed party which is going to be bigger and better than ever. Groove the afternoon away in the legendary Brixton club to an eclectic mix of old school rave tunes, new music...

Grow Mayow is a brilliant place. On other days this week there's the stay and play at the old Crystal Palace Park one o'clock club (10-1 and 2-4 I think the times are). Also the Imagine children's festival is on this week at the festival hall - there's quite a lot of free, unticketed stuff in the Cl...

Oh I thought Sui Generis was to be the name of the Tattoo shop! (feeling dim now)

It was great to see Mazzer and the other lady from the forum (who I recognised because her little girl played with mine in Baxter's Fields). I really hope you had fun and hope to see you again. Next party is Feb 15th and the DJs are Mark Force (Bugz in the Attic) and Joe Muggs (Mixmag). Again, we've...

Oh brilliant, looking forward to seeing you. I'll be outside on the door (dark hair, glasses) do say hello as a fellow Sydenham-ite. x

Hi everyone, We've got more dates for BFLF family raves at the Effra Social in Brixton - December 14th, January 18th and Feb 15th. I know Mazzer was asking - sorry for not coming back sooner to let you know - it's been going pretty crazy, all the events have sold out and we did a special one-off in ...

Downe House - Darwin's House just past Biggin Hill http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/days ... own-house/

Just an update to let you know that DJ Food is the headline DJ on the 21st September. http://www.djfood.org/djfood/

This is a little further afield than Sydenham but easy to reach on the train from Penge East or Sydenham Hill: http://www.bigfishlittlefishevents.co.uk/ Big Fish Little Fish is a brand new cool, creative and exciting music and dance event for the post-rave generation of parents and kids: all the fun...

I can't believe people are slagging off SydSoc over the Greyhound.

It was never in the plans that the pub would go. Pure Lake illegally demolished the pub against the agreed planning application.

Busy Bees at the Horniman is now Tues and Fri.

Bought for £400 from Baby Nest in Croydon inc raincover - extras I bought myself are newborn headhugger (£10) and shopping basket (can't remember the price). I bought it last May and probably haven't used it since Oct so it is in great condition. It's very lightweight and easy to push - narrower tha...

There's a dance school starting/just started on Saturdays at the hall in Lammas Green off Sydenham Hill. I had a flyer but I lost it, sorry...

Simon Trewin are you Simon Trewin the literary agent?

Update on Wooster and Stock's attempts to build a house in the garden of the Woodman - The original plans were refused by both the council and their appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. They have just resubmitted some amended plans to Lewisham which can be seen here: http://acolnet.lewisham.gov.uk/L...

On a slight tangent - there are a lot of illegally parked cars at hometime - bottom of Kelvin Grove, all round the gate to the old Adult Education institute and cars parked right up to the end of Fransfield and on the wide bit of pavement before Costcutter which makes it very difficult to safely man...

Apparently a number of members have been charged twice this month. I overheard a member of staff talking to a customer this had happened to - he blamed a glitch at head office. :roll: He did say all the payments would be refunded and any bank charges incurred paid as well. I don't know if that is au...

Eliot Bank and Kelvin Grove childrens centres timetables have changed completely now. Unfortunately I lost my copy but they've come under the control of the schools rather than Sure Start. When I get another one I'll post what's on but the 'dance to the beat' group no longer runs.
