Tickets priced at £7 (Concessions - £5) can be obtained by sending a stamped-addressed envelope and cheque (payable to “JAGS”) to Music Department, JAGS, East Dulwich Grove, London SE22 8TE.

Saturday 24th April at 7:30pm - Following last year’s hugely successful fundraising concert in Alleyn’s brand new theatre, local charity Dulwich Helpline has another musical treat lined up for you this Spring by way of Bowjangles! This is a classically trained professional string quartet with a difference who will be bringing their energetic all-singing, all-dancing (yes, really!) dazzling stage show to Dulwich! Come and be thoroughly entertained on Saturday 24th April in the Michael Croft Theatre, Alleyn’s School, Townley Road, SE22. The performance will start at 7.30 p.m. and tickets priced at £15 (£12 concessions) will be available from Dulwich Helpline (020 8299 2623) from mid-March, so save that date now!

We are delighted that local resident, Dr Ajay Khandelwal, will be running in support of Dulwich Helpline in this year’s London Marathon, and will be doing his best to improve on his current time of 4 hrs 55 mins! Ajay is a member of the “Dulwich Runners”, is married with two daughters, lives in Forest Hill and works as a Senior Research Advisor. He used to be a keen cyclist, but found that running fitted in better with a young family! He ran his first London Marathon in 2007 for the British Heart Foundation having sadly lost both his father and his father-in-law to heart attacks.

This year, Ajay says “I’m very excited to be running for Dulwich Helpline. I believe their work is special because it brings people together to provide company and conversation, and I don’t think there’s anything more important in life than that! I’ve just turned 40, and so I’m making an extra effort this year and want to knock another hour off my time to finish in 3.55. I’m running 3 times a week, clocking up around 20 miles. So please, I’d be grateful for any support.”
