Morning all - Just a little update on this. Due to it being difficult to get a decent number of regulars on the last Thursday of the month there are two incoming changes. Firstly it will be on the THIRD Thursday of each month - next one being Nov 16th! Secondly although not up yet it’s due to be boo...

No problem. Forgot to mention they are also very much planning on extending closing time as last orders have always been pretty early for various reasons but this is being looked at with last orders more like 10/10:30 then 9:30ish. Keep on supporting Ignition and the high street if you can folk 👍 as...

Thought may as well try here as no luck with street WhatsApp’s and Twitter/X so far… Small black cat (maybe 6-8 months) found on Byne Road. No microchip but safe, healthy and being temporarily looked after by various houses. Picture here: https://x.com/sydenhamural/status/1714187692122968193?s=46&am...

Completed and Will regularly put it out on Twitter/X (under Sydenhamural).

Yep - Know a load about it so here’s some word vomit lol. The 3 initial founders - Nick in particular who was the face/was by the far the most involved in running it - wanted to pass it on after having achieved their aim of very successfully building a not for profit brewery based around supporting ...

Monthly reminder for games night tomorrow - see previous posts!

Just the monthly reminder for the games night - all the info is as aboveish but long and short is: Last Thursday of the month (so this one as Feb is short) - board games at Ignition. People on hand to teach games from 7ish til close but majority of games available from opening at 5pm (I drop a rucks...

Keep on being a bit late on the reminders ooops but games night again tomorrow (last Thursday of each month). Games available from opening at 5pm. People on hand to teach stuff from 7ish.

Aha! Brilliant news. Will spread the news!

Thought along my incessant twittering (sydenhamural) I would pop here to just say that: BOBs wine/bottle shop has now sadly closed permanently- however the nearest specialist one is only 2 mins walk - Bottlecave on the high street. Leo (@leo_foood on Twitter and on Instagram) have opened their veget...

Well I’m glad I returned to post! Any questions fire away and I’ll be there from 5ish (!). Hopefully see you and anyone you fancy bringing on Thursday

Very doubtful you would need to book a table but if you are coming as a group of 4 let’s say might be worth emailing max@ignition.beer to book.

Just a little reply/reminder of this in case of interest - the inaugural one had 11 people turn up to learn/teach and play games whilst being a bit sociable and having a drink. If it’s something you or anyone you know may fancy, please pass the info on or pop on down next Thursday (last of each mont...

Dear all, Just wanted to pop on here to highlight a new event at Ignition Brewery which I’m helping to setup. It’s a monthly games night on the last Thursday of each month - so this Thursday! The brewery and games will be available from opening (5pm) with a bunch of volunteers/games fans who are kin...

Both a bump to the edited up to date post and a Ps: If you live on NEWLANDS PARK and bring proof you’ll get 20% off your first round at Ignition for this week’s openings (2nd and 4th - they are rented out for a private function on Friday 3rd). They are doing a street of the week thing so keep your e...

Ps: If you live on Tannsfeld Road and bring proof you’ll get 20% off your first round at Ignition next week (4th - 6th Nov). They are doing a street of the week thing so keep your eyes peeled on Twitter, when walking past etc. for if/when you get lucky (!)

Thought rather than write another message I’d amend the previous “original” message so this is just a bump of that.

Hey all,

Just a little shout out for the quiz at Ignition on Thursday at 7. It will be a mix of Christmas based questions, pics, anagrams and a wall a la only connect if anyone watches it. Anyways I’m organising it so thought I’d pop it in here for a few more eyes.

Cheers,

Have a lovely week,

J

Rumour had it (Penge tourist board) that the owners of PFC were planning to move in there so whether it is true and they are moving out to the bigger unit, keeping the old one and having something different here or the rumours aren’t true and it’s completely separate who knows!

This implies they have yet to find/sign off on a location though the plan for a “Sydenham” Harris is a still a go: https://www.harrisfederation.org.uk/176/future-academies/project/48/harris-academy-sydenham As it’s Bromley council who have agreed I assume that means it’ll be located in Bromley but b...

Yep, have seen people whizzing around without too much safety concerns unfortunately. Additionally though it’s not just the people on scooters, I’ve seen a big increase in people on bikes cycling on pavements or on roads unsafely as well as people crossing roads at the most idiotic places and times ...
