Wendy Anne Pajak says: There may be squatters in the Greenwich Dance Academy, but there is a great exhibition in the photographers' gallery next door. The Greenwich Gallery says: The exhibition 'Sea in the City' by Ross Andrews, 10th May - 23rd May, brings the sea and the coastline together. Ross pushes himself physically to capture the life and power of the sea. rossandrews.co.uk

Neil Sinclair writes: It’s the arrival at Greenwich that you’ve been waiting a long time for - as well as your next Southeastern train! This is the new timetable for 20th May onwards: you can pick it up now at Greenwich and some other booking offices on Southeastern routes. There's also the separate mini booklet for the Thameslink trains that will call at Greenwich twice an hour. The new timetables run through to 8th December. They've been available on line for a few weeks, but for those who like old-fashioned hard copy, collect yours before stocks run out.

Neil Sinclair asks: Were you one of the thousands of us who reluctantly believed it would be impossible for trains to run again from Greenwich to Charing Cross after the redevelopment of London Bridge station? Did you swallow Southeastern's claim that this route would be completely ruled out by “disentanglement” of tracks and signalling on the approaches to London Bridge? If you were, and you travelled up to London over the bank holiday weekend, you would have been surprised to see that all trains passing through Greenwich were terminating at Charing Cross. Cannon Street was closed. Clearly direct services to Waterloo East and Charing Cross are still logistically possible.

Ash cricket team captain Simon Hall of Egerton Drive says: In the Ash after Thursday's match, cricketers (from left)  Simon Hall, Charlie Shaw, and Adam Deal  point to this season's fixture list  The Ashburnham Arms Cricket Club got their 2018 Twenty20 season off to a great start on Thursday evening with a 9-run victory over strong local rivals Crusaders. Put in to bat on a well-prepared but soft wicket, the Ash scored a modest 88 for 3 off their 20 overs. Some controlled slow bowling and careful field placing then saw Crusaders all out for 79. If you'd like to join us for Thursday evening cricket in the Park, please contact club secretary David Dines ( dinescu@me.com )

Chris Ward, Chair of the ATA, says: Well actually it’s our 2018 AGM. Now these are far from formal and stuffy. We aim to reflect the vibrancy and pace of our community. The Ashburnham Triangle community (as defined by the Council) is estimated to be around 3,000. That’s 3,000 lives living, working, playing in the area and the pace of change is rampant. New developments, new businesses, new attractions, new safety concerns, new opportunities. It’s our job to make sure you have your say in what goes on and voice any comments or concerns you have, as well as bringing us together as a community. Our AGM is the one point in the year when all the parts of the ATA get together and talk about plans for the future. So please, don’t write it off, come and join in, have your say. We have events to talk about, we have new initiatives to discuss, we have positions we’d like volunteers for, and we’d really like to hear from you. So come along, there is cake and wine - yes...
