I know loads of people who will be going to this event on Thursday, it should be something very special. Tickets are now sold out!

I can't believe all posts (the entire thread) about the vote and the event have been removed from SE23.com so that people in Sydenham, East Dulwich, and Brockley have more chance to know about such events than people in Forest Hill.
