Hi. Could you include details of the Vauxhall Park Easter Egg Hunt? It’s on Saturday 9 April, registration from 10.30am for 111am start. Please don’t come late as the eggs go pretty fast.
We are holding our summer fair on Sunday 19 June 2-5pm and just wondered if you are holding your summer fair again and when it is this year?

Hi,
My name is James Sweetman, and I am getting in touch about a possible partnership with your website. We really like what you do and really want to help others know about it. We were thinking along the lines of a reciprocal relationship, where you can use us to spread your news, events, and attract even more people to your group.
For more information see http://www.stickyboard.co.uk. I hope this is of interest and look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
James
Dear Residents of Stockwell,
Earl of Bedlam here, the bespoke tailor and outfitter latterly of 20 Clapham Road just up from Oval tube. It was our pleasure and privilege to serve the community round there through whose generous patronage we made it to eighteen months at that address and saw our business walking and talking. We also made a lot of friends.
We were touched by tearful visits from our lovely local customers when they thought we were closing down but the news is that we have merely moved up the road to Kennington, to Bedlam Mews off Walnut Tree Walk. We hope people appreciate the cracked ring to our new address where we now have a beautiful “by appointment” design studio rather than a shop.
You can read what we’ve been up to during the last month on Bedlam’s blog, the latest featuring our part in HRH the Prince of Wales’ initiative, the “Campaign for Wool”, and the grand reception at the Lord Mayor of London’s palace, Mansion House: http://earlofbedlam.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/campaign-for-wool.html
We look forward to welcoming our existing Stockwell-Ovaltini clientele to Bedlam Mews and to meeting the residents of our new ‘hood.
Now the cold is settling in, get measured up for your winter tweeds. Just call Caroline and Mark on 07711 160 654 or email ladyc@earlofbedlam.co.uk to make an appointment.
With all best from Bedlam,
Caroline

Hi,
I’m currently establishing a Centre for Community Journalism at Cardiff University which I’m pleased to announce is almost ready to launch! To coincide with the launch of the new centre we are hosting a one day National Conference for Community Journalists on January 13th 2013. The day is jam packed with key speakers, useful workshops and the chance to meet other Community Journalists from across the UK. As a local news provider I thought this one day event would be of interest to you.
More details, including registration can be found at: http://bit.ly/TqT6AR
If you require any further information please don’t hesitate to contact me either via email: MeeseE (at) cardiff (dot) ac (dot) uk or on tel no: 029 20 870101
Has anyone tried the new Italian bakery on Clapham road next to Tesco? Looks very nice https://www.facebook.com/DolcezzaUK
Does your site have a contact page? I’m having
trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve
got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
Hi all
I am an architecture student from London Metropolitan University writing a thesis about affordable housing in London. For a case study I am looking at Bonnington Square, a residential square further towards Vauxhall from Albert Square. Within the square there is a rare mix of co-operatives, housing associations, hostels and privately owned/rented flats and houses that have helped to create a very unique atmosphere and physical environment you might already be aware of.
To put my findings within context I am required to compare various qualities of Bonnington Square with nearby squares – for which I am using nearby Courtenay Square SE11 and Albert Square SW8.
I need to know if any houses/flats on Albert Square are owned by the council or housing associations. Could anyone affiliated with the ASSSA help? House/flat numbers would be most helpful. Thank you so much!

Hi there,
I hope you don’t mind me using this comments feed to let you know about Vauxhall Community Choir. We rehearse on Mondays at the Wheatsheaf Hall, very close to Albert Sq. It’s a really friendly group of singers who are almost all local and in the 2.5years since we started we’ve supported several local events/initiatives, including the Oasis centre, Bonnington Square peace festival and we put on our own big community Christmas concert last December at the Wheatsheaf. (We’ll be doing one again this year on 14th Dec so, come along!) We learn in a relaxed, inclusive way – there are no auditions and everything is taught by ear. Our aim is to have fun, be uplifted and develop musically. If you love to sing (secretly or not), come and give it a go. Our new term starts on 15th Sept.
Warm wishes,
Janna (choir leader)
Rehearsals on Mondays 7pm – 9pm (starting 15 Sept 14)
First session is free & concession rates available
Wheatsheaf Hall, Wheatsheaf Lane, Vauxhall SW8 2UP

Right here is the right blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic.

you (not that I personally would want to…HaHa).
You definitely put a new spin on a topic that’s been written about for years.
Excellent stuff, just great!
Massage For Nepal.
Hello good people of Assa. My name is Jay and I’ve recently moved to St. Stephens Terrace. I’m currently studying for an ITEC Qualification in Swedish/Holistic massage. Obviously I need willing volunteers to practice my new found skills upon. This is where you guys come in; I’m offering a full body massage (legs front/back – back – arms – neck, shoulders, face & scalp) for a donation to the Nepal D.E.C fund (£10 suggested). The treatment will take 45-60 minutes, and I promise NO pan pipes or whale song.
Thanks for reading.
