Re: Duwayne Brooks will stand for mayor of Lewisham
I see. Yes I'm not in Lewisham anymore - not so up to date on these things. I read this short article and thought, "Wow! This could be great!" Ah well.
Thanks for the replies. I'll check him out on twitter etc.

Re: Local groups for lively 8 month old
Hi, there are lots of activities in the area.
Try Kelvin Grove children's centre - I think they have messy play on a Thursday morning, and there's toy library on a Friday (?) morning, and various other activities. Also Eliot Bank children's centre just up the road from there.

Hi,
Not exactly what you were thinking of, but has she tried Dulwich Library?
There is a study room upstairs with free wifi and power points, seating space for maybe 50 people (?), and very quiet.
I am also a mum with young kids and I go there myself to get my work done in peace and with free wifi ...

Re: Steel pan lessons for Children and Adults in South Norwo
This sounds great. I grew up in Trinidad and had plenty of opportunity to learn pan but just didn't have the patience! Maybe my kids will be more interested. What music are you going to be playing this weekend? Any chance of Pan in A Minor??

Hello,
Any other runners taking public transport to Greenwich/Blackheath to get to the Start line this Sunday? I will be on my own and wouldn't mind some company!
Please PM me if you would like to travel together.

Anyone else without water?
Just wondering if anyone else is without water at the moment? Our taps started spluttering a little while ago and now have run dry. I suppose some pipes have frozen over, or it might be related to the various roadworks in the area. I am on Lawrie Park Ave. Would be interested to know if anyone else ...

hello there
I don't remember exactly - around £20-ish/hour as they all do, but it gets cheaper if you can do daytimes and if you buy a block of ten lessons at a time.
hope that helps
