FOUND IN RAVENSCOURT PARK

I found a gold ear-ring with diamonds on the path going towards the main entrance in Ravenscourt Park this morning (Sunday).  I am sending the ear-ring to the Hammersmith Police in Shepherds Bush Road so if it was you who lost it I am sure you can re-claim it if you turn up with the matching other one.

MOTOR SPORT MAGAZINES

Clearing out: The magazines are in reasonable condition and are an amazing insight into the past half century of motor sport.Complete years: 1958; 1960; 1963; 1964; 1966; 1968 and 1969 Also: 1970-1975 (not complete years) 1957 September - December; 1959 May and September missing.Seems a shame just to put them in the recycling bin.  Anyone want to make me any offer which I will donate to charity.

Dentist for a 3 year old girl

Hi,Can anyone recommend a local dentist for a 3 year old girl?  Preferably they would do NHS work, and an even bigger bonus would be a lady dentist (she's a bit scared of men she doesn't know!)  But any recommendations would be gratefully received.With many thanks.

Want to meet new locals and make new friends?

For all those who are new to Hammersmith or just want to broaden their social circle this is for you!Around a year ago, with a friend, I discovered the meet up.com site. The website is basically a very easy way of meeting new people and making new friends in the local area. Groups meet up for social drinks, food, events and activities and you can opt into coming along to whatever events you wish. It is also completely free to join with no catches whatsoever.Living in Chiswick, we decided to create the Chiswick Meet Up group on the site not knowing if anyone would be interested or not. A year on, we have over 350 members and have had loads of fab days/nights out and made lots of new local friends. We have even had several couples getting together through the group- although it ISN'T a dating service!!!Because we have quite a few members from Hammersmith and Ealing, I have now extended the group to include both areas and renamed the group to the Chiswick, Hammersmith and Ealing Social Group!So, if you fancy meeting new people and having a laugh at various events on your door step check out our page at www.meetup.com/chis-ham-ealing-friends.

Monday to Friday let - Seeking flatmate

I'm looking for a new flatmate to move into the flat I'm renting in Shepherds Bush - interested in all week let or Monday to Friday.  The room will be free end August/September.  It is a lovely and spacious flat with dishwasher, garden, cable, broadband and although there is only one bathroom with power shower, there are two loos. The sitting room is spacious and the kitchen/breakfast room is huge. I am pretty relaxed and housetrained, sociable and go out a fair amount, away every second/third weekend and am looking for somebody normal and independent to share with - although its great to share bottles of wine, and watch DVDs, but it isnt really a party flat. Boyfriends/girlfriends fine, provided they don't move in too. The flat is rented so whoever moves in will need to sign the lease as well and provide references as well.

Magazine Distribution

We arranged to have 40,000 flyers distributed in local free magazines publicising Artists at Home last weekend.     The response to this campaign was very disappointing and I am hearing of so many people who used to receive one of the magazines and now don't.   It would be very helpful indeed if anyone could give any feedback.   Name of Road, which magazine you used to receive, whether you got the June issue and if so, roughly when - and was there an Artists at Home flyer in it.
