Well, that was fun, a convivial couple of hours ticked swiftly by at the Clockhouse. There was a good turnout. First into the bar was Steve Overbury of Dulwich Design bearing his newly published book on the Sixties: London Babylon, a snip at £12.99 and available at Chener Books in Lordship Lane.
Steve writes for Dulwich on View, as does Bella Tullo who was wearing the most magnificent coat – her treat to herself against the onset of winter. She is also involved with the monthly film season at Dulwich Picture Gallery – the next one is Pather Panchali on November 16.
Sharon Clampin runs Howdy Pardners design team with Neil Smith and sometimes works with book designer Nigel Soper who was there with Paula Soper, an editor at Insight Guides. Insight Guides provided much local talent in the form of three further editors - Alyse Dar, Alexia Georgiou and Cathy Muscat – and designer Richard Cooke.

There were around a dozen apologies from people hoping to make it next time.
NEXT TIME: We are going to rotate the network nights, not just through the week, but around the area. The next Groucho-on-the-Rye will be at the Herne Tavern at the south end of Peckham Rye, on Thursday November 19, and on November 30 at the Crown and Greyhound in Dulwich Village.
A reminder will be sent beforehand. Spread the word.
