Warwick Wingding - festival in Peckham Sept 25 (no replies)

Lyndhurster — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:37:47 +0100

DO YOU FANCY YOURSELF AS A STAND-UP COMEDIAN? OR A SPOKEN-WORD ARTIST?

On September 25, the Warwick Wingding – Peckham’s Music and Arts Festival – will be expanding into comedy, with talent corner for local comedians to take to the microphone.

We are looking for local talent to take part in the Wingding, a small local festival which runs annually in Warwick Gardens on Lyndhurst Way from noon to 8pm.

This year, on the main stage, we will have bands, choirs, soloists, rap artists – and in the Ivy House Beer and Talent Tent, a line-up of spoken artists. (To get some idea of last year’s event, log on to [www.youtube.com].)

Is one of those spoken artists or comedians you? If you are keen to show Peckham your talent, email Pull The Other One at comedyarts@googlemail.com. And remember, this is a family event…

Filming at Royal Legion Club Eddystone Rd (no replies)

Nunheadmum — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:48:45 +0100

Anyone know what the filming was that was happening here last week? There was some a couple of weeks ago too? It seemed like a fairly major set up from the catering - was sorely tempted by the breakfast buffet as I walked past.

Hi,

I moved to Nunhead recently and I'm hoping someone can suggest things I can do with my 13 month old daughter? There really are only so many times I can push the buggy round the duck pond and it'd be nice to meet some other local Mums, as well as giving her some new things to do. She's not walking yet so would need to be ok for a crawler and as I'm now bck at work I'm limited to Mondays and Tuesday or the weekend.

Thanks

Does anyone know what was going on this morning? I woke to the sound of a police helicopter at about 6.30 and on my way to work was refused entry to Kirkwood road by the police. I asked what had happened but they refused to tell me. There was a lot of police, over 10 cars plus vans and ambulances.

Sweetshopdan — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:22:35 +0100

Pool is so last year! Table Tennis is where its at for 2010 and we have recently taken delivery of a table.

We are going to run a weekly night, this is going to be Tuesday's however whenever the 'Famous Panelled Lounge' is not being used the table will be out so worth calling ahead.

At the moment it is free and first come first served, until we work out the best system.

We have 4 bats and plenty of balls, I played doubles last night for 2 hours lots of fun!

You can also plug your ipod in and listen to your own tunes as you play, so come and get involved.

Hope to see you soon.
