Given the recent interest in the DnD thread, just thought I'd see if there are any functional adults who'd be interested in a social group for monthly/quarterly/occasional draft nights or commander play. Say min 4 players/max 6-8?

Obviously there's events at TrollTrader but they're hard to fit in around work/family (also if anyone has ever smelt a prerelease before they'll probably understand why it's not something you want to rush back from a long day at the office for). Looking to see if there's any folks at a similar stage of life who'd be up for casual, fun games/takeaway/beer/wine?

Hey guys, i have no idea if it is allowed to post here something like this, if not, you can just delete it..

I don't even know where to start, but i will try to be short as possible, i moved here after i quit my job in Manchester, i got offer to work here, but the company told me, that my place is already taken(TWO DAYS BEFORE I WAS SUPPOSED TO SIGN A CONTRACT), so i ended up here, paid for moving, deposit etc and without a job.. i was jobless for like a two months and out of desperation i took job in a casino where i am starting on Saturday..

The problem is i burned out all of my savings and my first paycheck is pretty far away, so i am sitting in my room, looking on my Revolut where is 18pounds after i paid my rent and kinda don't know what to do..

Is there any charity around that can help me with some food and basic stuff?

Or if anyone need some help around, mainly cleaning i am totally done for that.. but probably just for other women, because i don't know anyone here and don't want to risk.

Let me know and stay strong!🙏

P.s. i live around Selhurst..

Thanks

Hi Bromleyites!

I run a local Dungeons & Dragons group and we’re always on the lookout for new players. Whether you’re a seasoned vet, completely new to the hobby, or just looking to meet some local players, you’re very welcome.

If you’re interested, drop a comment below or send me a message!

I’m part of a choir in Beckenham that meets every Wednesday 7:00-8:30pm, and it’s the highlight of my week! Non audition, contemporary music, no sheet music required - just 90 minutes of singing and a pub trip at the end

Google “Some Voices Beckenham” to find us

Location: Beckenham Public Hall, BR3 5JE

First session is a free taster, then £29pm - see you there!

the whole street has been closed and there are police everywhere. Be warned anyone trying to travel through that area - it looks like busses will be on diversion for a while.

The enshittification of Bromley continues.

Hi.

Just after some guidance.

I informed my gym I would be undergoing an operation before the Christmas holidays having suffered a stroke and requested my personal training sessions which I’d already paid in advance be frozen along with my membership until I was fully recovered.

A few months later I was going through my accounts and noticed my training subscription had been reactivated without my knowledge which my bank stopped and refunded to my account.

My gym are now insisting the payment be honoured along with an administrative charge unless I provide documentation from the hospital for them to add to their files for consideration before making a decision, is this legal?????

Dear Bromley residents,

I am looking for trusted deck builders who can help me build a deck with good quality. For context the existing deck which is at height of 1.5 mts from the ground needs to be demolished and we want to extend the deck area to build a larger deck at the same height which means the work with foundations etc need to be reliable.

I have gone through a few quotes from deck builders who are giving me a full quote with building the deck and materials, but I want to source my own materials as I am inclined towards some good brands. Most builders are sourcing cheap composite materials which I am not sure would be good in the long term, but are still charging me 1.5x of the market price (~£500 per sq mt including materials which seems quite high)

Any recommended deck builders in the area that you can recommend ?

Where do kids from good primaries like La Fontaine Academy or Bickley usually go for secondary? Mostly grammars, or are there strong non-grammar options?

Feels like there’s a gap between primary and secondary quality but I might be wrong (I don't want to judge, though I've heard Ravensboune has been getting better), or is it the effect of the 11+ selection?

Thanks!

Young family FTB with a infant. We both are near about remote and hence access to Train station is not the main consideration.
Which of these would be a better FTB place. My initial impressions (as someone not from this side of london and a PWC) were below
a) North Locksbottom does not look that posh as people say on internet (looks normal like any other surrounding areas) hence do not understand the additional price associated with them.
b) Farnborough looked better to me in most aspects although very few houses in stock for us there again quite expensive (even more than N.L)
c) Bromley common seems to be cheaper but more open and leafy but further away from train connections , I am guessing there is are buses for both Orpington & Bromley to reach London somehow. How is the area ?
d) Any similar vibe area around which I should be looking at ?
Requirement : Good primary schools / 3 bed semi / ~650k ?

My son got in to bickley primary what was our second choice we were 50/50 in fairness so we not upset but just wondering if anyone one on here had kids there or can shine a bit more of a light on the vibe of the school, staff and the kids there?
