Sydenham Town Forum

We moved to surrey last year and local park has just got a "Pistachios in the Park".. went there last week and it is really nice. I think it is a franchise set up. Would be great addition to mayow park though park can be quiet during week....

We used to live on Cator Road and didn't Alexandra Infants so moved house instead.... though friend just got in from the waiting list for next year. I did like the infant school though, less keen on the juniors.

Next sale is on 11th Sept 2010 - all the same details as before.

As ever, fantastic nearly new items for sale for babies and young children.

Going to get tickets for this friday! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

another thought... ask your HV if your doctor surgery arranges a new mums group as they used to do something down at Sydenham Green and maybe Wells Park Drs too.

Hi Mysti77, I have sent you a private message... if you want to come along to a new mums tea locally then do let me know as I am arranging these for the NCT at the moment. Also, one of my friends has written a great article for new mums called "Sydenham on a shoestring" with covers most of...

they do a menu based approach to using an architect so you only pay for the bits you need.....

we used them for a heat loss survey as part of getting building control sign off and they were great,

I just got a bill for £80 a month having paid £20 a month for ages on a meter (2 adults, 2 small). I rang up to complain and they said there might be a faulty meter and they would check out. I am now back to paying £20 a month. However based on an earlier post I am going to call them again on Monday...

I have friends who use Cornerstone (Jews Walk and Trewsbury Road), Crystals Day Nursery (Venner Road) and we use Kidsunlimited which is next to New Beckenham Train Station. With regard to costs I know Kidsunlimited is at the top end as their hours are 7:30am to 6pm plus the prices have just gone up ...

So disheartening to see that only one party is representing the Sydenham area. Not exactly going to represent the range of views of the broad cross section of the local community. It's not like we've seen much progress in terms of commercial development on the high street over the past 4 years (I kn...

Don't lose hope as there is always a chance of getting another school before end of term (I know of someone this happened to last year). Also if you want to help make schools in the area better get involved and become a governor. A friend of mine is already one at this school and I know last year th...

thanks multisync for the warning.... have you reported them to environmental health yet... sounds like they need to be.

And hopefully they get shut down and we have one less disgusting fried chicken place.

we had our window box taken (see seperate thread) about a week ago. Really pissed me off, pointless theft, but was the theft of a wooden champagne box I had given to my wife 10 years ago on our wedding day. some real scumbags around here. trainee burglars who should be given a taste of their own med...

He did suggest that - bless! But then I feel the thief has won as we have to part with £185 of our hard earnt money. Though of course we do get the benefit of the booze!

Yesterday afternoon some strange individual took great pleasure in stealing one of our window boxes (from the front drive in broad daylight!). It was an old Bollinger box (Jeroboam size) and has huge sentimental value as C bought it for me on our wedding day. It left the scene full of earth and love...

just back from a lovely evening at El Reudo with LaHibernis and others - food good, definitely recommend,.... and can't fault the location at the end of our road!

Hi Monica - next one is 19th June.... please email me at nctsales-beckenham@hotmail.co.uk and I will add you to the list!
