Last Sunday MP Harriet Harman (left) joined swimmers gathered on the grass where the old <a href="https://www.spacehive.com/peckham-lido">Peckham Lido </a> flourished until 1987. The publicity was to help raise a further £22,000 to take the proposed Olympic-sized pool and leisure centre on to the next stage. Crowdfunding has been boosted by the mayor office's recent pledge of £7,500 towards the campaign. Supporters believe that anyone living near Peckham Rye will want to support this plan to restore a great community asset and make our wonderful park even better. However, not everyone is in favour of municipal swimming, or in further concreting the green area, which is about to have a 400-pupil school, with no carpark, built nearby.Bristol Book Publishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06737723692365861620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388988492222135873.post-73559062084024493292015-10-15T10:32:00.001+01:002015-10-15T10:32:27.716+01:00Herne Hill FestivalHylda is performing tonight with the City Ramblers, picture here, at the Prince Regent, 69 Dulwich Road, part of the <a href="http://hernehillfestival.org/">Herne Hill Festival </a><br />

Sunday, June 21, 7pm, and perhaps repairing to the Clock House when it gets cool. With luck it will be balmy, making up for the recent chilly weather.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Lots of developments are being proposed -- and fought -- in Peckham right now. The Car Park (and Bold Tendency/Franks Cafe) has had a stay of execution for further research to show how it could be converted into a permanent cultural centre (<i>vide</i> the Midsummer Sibelius), the station is still in discussion, and Southwark is proposing a tower block that will blight the view of the city .<br /><br />All these issues, and many more, are the concern of <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><a href="http://www.peckhamvision.org/">Peckham Vision</a></span></b>, who are encouraging people to connect in to their flow of information in the following ways:</span><br />

<i>It has been a good summer for Peckham, and it has had a good press</i>.<br />
First there was the <b>Peckham Pavilion </b>at the Venice Biennale, then there was the <b>Peckham Takeover </b>late night at the V&A. All this, of course, has much to do with the energies of the <b>Hannah Barry Gallery</b>, who set up the Bold Tendencies annual exhibition in the car park, with Frank's Cafe on the roof -- this year accompanied by a homage to Derek Jarman's Dungeness garden, and with an innovative music programme. Hannah Barry also has a finger in the<b> Peckham Refreshment Rooms </b>pie, the wee cafe around the corner from the station that attracted a whole page review by Jay Rainer in the <i>Observer</i>, while <b>Khan's Bargain</b> store wowed Sheila Dillon on Radio 4's Food Programme. The Hannah Barry Gallery is now said to be wisely moving out of passé Bond Street and opening a gallery near the station, where, incidentally, Southern Rail is continuing its policy of clawing back its arches to make money, and have set up a <b>Bicycle Hub</b>, where bikes are for hire.<br />
<br />
The <b>CLF Cafe </b>in the Bussey building has been putting on some good theatre and is full of events on Bank Holiday Saturday with Hush House <b>Super Market</b>. Meanwhile, thanks to Ingrid Beazley, Peckham and Dulwich have been spattered with <i>grafitissimo</i> <b>street art</b>. Don't call us, call her: she is organising walks, as seen in <i>Time Out, </i>on Saturday. Oh, and trendy <b>Blue Tit </b>hairdressers is taking on the weavers of corn rows, kinky twists and Ghana braids in the old Saviour's Hair Salon.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Other fun and games have included <b>Pexmas Munch</b> in Holly Grove; a Sunday market around the back of Bar Story where <b>Peckham Springs</b> has a summer bar; the <b>Peckham Rye Village Hall Experience</b> on that bit of green where the lido once was, part of the Elephant and Nun festival; and a great <b>Late Latin night</b> at the Horniman, where the conservatory proved ideal for a <i>malonga</i>, and the Latin theme is continuing over the August Bank Holiday weekend.<br />
<br />
There has undoubtedly been much more besides, including a few disasters, not least the flood in <b>Herne Hill</b>, just as the Half Moon had refurbished its music space.<br />
<br />
Still to come is the <a href="http://www.freefilmfestivals.org/whats-on/free-films-in-peckham.html">Peckham and Nunhead Free Film Festival</a> on September 3-10 and the annual fete on the Peckham Rye Common on September 7. The first concert for the new <b>Ivy House</b> on September 27, with Martin Carthy and David Swarbrick is, not surprisingly, already a sell-out.<br />
<br />
• For future news, <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1719323268/the-peckham-peculiar">Peckham Peculiar</a> is looking for £5,000 by the end of September to start a regular local newspaper.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Martin Fidler</b> has an exhibition at the <a href="http://www.updowngallery.co.uk/exhibitions/future-exhibitions">Uptown Gallery</a> in Ramsgate. Grouchos are invited to the Private View on Friday 17th May, 6-8pm. A print-out of the invitation is necessary and will be circulated by email.<br />
