major (Eroica). Tickets priced at £7 (Concessions - £5) can be
obtained by sending a stamped-addressed envelope and cheque

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

Sunday 25th April - London Marathon - PLEASE SUPPORT OUR
RUNNER AJAY! Download his Sponsorship Form

Home Page.
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.”
