On the corner sofa was - well, Ronnie took up some space. But there was still room for a few more, including the dog's owner, the photographers' printer, Chris Clack. He brought along the photojournalist Louise Murray, a former oil commodity dealer, just back from assignment in East Timor where she had been photographing
a "Cetacean soup" of whales and dolphins that gather there each year - you can see some of her pictures (right) on her website. Ann Reckless came too, glad of her three days a week staff job at Finanacial News, but could do with work on the other two days. It was a wonder to see her fall into a torrent of native Welsh with Maggie Richards (who somehow recognised us), who is setting up a copywriting business while studying trauma therapy: check out her website. Angie MacDonald was another first-timer. She is a partner in the social media consultancy ZenGuide and is responsible for the Dulwich On View website, which, she says, gets around 300 hits a day. It's published twice weekly but is a slightly exhausting process and may become weekly soon. Pam Barrett, a local editor and writer also made a debut appearance, while Rose Shepherd and Bob Schweizer proved reliable as ever, and were pleased to say they had just come from what they hoped would prove to be an interesting writing-photography assignment.
• The next Groucho-on-the-Rye will be on Tuesday, January 5 at 7.30pm at The Crown and Greyhound in Dulwich Village. Manager Pamela Garcia has set aside the Tap Room for us - that's the bar on the far left as you go in, the one with the fire.
