Dulwich Park Friends

Why not relax in the great outdoors and take part in The Big Butterfly Count, a UK-wide survey? It’s aimed at helping @savebutterflies assess the health of our environment by counting the number and type of butterflies you see. Simples. …erflycount.butterfly-conservation.org

Those urban myths about #parakeets laid to rest, but not good news @TimBlackburn66 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

As if we need telling! #parkrun @Dulwichparkrun timeout.com/london/news/th…

Only two weeks until #DulwichPark Fair! Come and join the fun, it’s free! Bring your bestie to the dog show, why not have a go at bowls? Loads of great street food and market stalls. Local entertainment on the stage. @lb_southwark @DulwichFestival @LapdogTweets @DulwichSociety

Have you ever wondered what a #medlar is? There are several medlar trees in #DulwichPark (pic). You can hear all about the history of this strange fruit and its fruity nicknames at a talk by Jane Steward @BellHouseNews on 13/9: info here: bellhouse.co.uk

Thanks @lb_southwark - finally we have a defibrillator in #DulwichPark @DulwichSociety @Dulwichparkrun At the Francis Peek Centre

Come on @lb_southwark and @idverdeUK - so much avoidable rubbish! Volunteers can only do so much. Third pic is 8.15pm v 8.15am. What’s happened to the eurobins, crammed full and unemptied for weeks? Why was our bid for bigger bins grant rejected? @margynewens @RM_Leeming

It’s this evening! Do come along. #DulwichPark 👇

@PoloniusCrambe @lb_southwark @DulwichSociety @BellHouseNews @dulwichonview @dulwichdiverter @DulwichFestival That would be news to the Friends, but do put us in touch with the source of this suggestion and we’ll investigate. When created, those courts were designed to be dual purpose - and have been in practice. This is a long-overdue refurbishment.

@DulwichPark @lb_southwark @DulwichSociety @BellHouseNews @dulwichonview @dulwichdiverter @DulwichFestival is there something going on in the park about the basketball court? I've heard that it's being transformed into tennis courts - possibly to make more money for Southwark - despite being *very* well-used by local basketball players / groups

Love #DulwichPark? Why not come to our AGM and review of the year on Tues 25/4 at 6-7.30pm at Francis Peek Centre? Non-members welcome (tho can’t vote). Guest speaker is Ian McInnes, well-known local historian, on the park’s history. Join us for a chat and a glass of wine, too!

If you love #DulwichPark fair, why not volunteer with @lb_southwark and help it become a reality this year? It’s great fun. We need more marshalls on Sunday 14/5 from 8am-12pm and 4.30-6pm. Free lunch! Email us if interested and we can tell you more…dulwichparkfriends@gmail.com
