Thursday 6 October: Where the Wildflowers Grow
- Leif Bersweden
7pm – 8pm. Over the course of 2021 Leif Bersweden cycled around Britain and Ireland, tracking down the unique plants that grow there and investigating both their history and the threats that face them. His journey took him from the Cornish coast to the pine forests of Scotland, from handling carnivorous plants on the Norfolk Broads to the streets of London, proving that nature can be found in the most unexpected places. Wildflowers are everywhere we go, even in the heart of cities. Botanical diversity is a barometer for the state of our ecosystems and historically plants have been used in all aspects of our lives. Where the Wildflowers Grow: My Botanical Journey Through Britain and Ireland is a passionate call to arms to save our remaining flora before it’s lost. Leif’s story is an urgent one that echoes the growing environmental zeitgeist of our age. Along the way, Leif highlights the joy and positivity that can be found through understanding nature and why it is so desperately important to protect our wildflowers. Join Leif for a fascinating talk about his botanising journey around Britain and Ireland and about the joy of engaging with nature, the importance of plants for our climate, and celebrating our unbelievable botanical diversity. Dulwich Books, 6 Croxted Road, London SE21 8SW, UK. Tickets can be purchased at:

Thursday 6 October: An Evening with Elly Griffiths
7:30pm – 8:30pm. Village Books and Alleyn’s School Enterprises are delighted to welcome bookshop favourite Elly Griffiths to Dulwich to celebrate the publication of her new thriller Bleeding Heart Yard. DS Cassie Fitzgerald has a secret – but it’s one she’s deleted from her memory. In the 1990s when she was at school, she and her friends killed a fellow pupil. Thirty years later, Cassie is happily married and loves her job as a police officer. One day her husband persuades her to go to a school reunion and another ex-pupil, Garfield Rice, is found dead, supposedly from a drug overdose. As Garfield was an eminent MP and the investigation is high profile, it is headed by Cassie’s new boss, DI Harbinder Kaur. The trouble is, Cassie cannot shake the feeling that one of her old friends has killed again. Is Cassie right, or was Garfield murdered by one of his political cronies? It is in Cassie’s interest to skew the investigation so that it looks like the latter and she seems to be succeeding. Until someone else is killed… Elly Griffiths is the author of the bestselling series featuring Dr Ruth Galloway. The most recent, The Locked Room, was a Sunday Times hardback number one. The series has won the CWA Dagger in the Library and has been shortlisted five times for the Theakston’s Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year. Lower School at Alleyn’s, Alleyn’s School, Townley Road, Dulwich, SE22 8SU. Tickets: www.mct.alleyns.org.uk/

Thursdays 6, 13, 20 & 27 October: Dulwich Folk Dance Club-Thursday Dance
8pm - 10pm. Dulwich Folk Dance Club would like to welcome you, experienced or not, partnered or single. Come join us, put a smile on your face and make new friends. Even if you’re an inexperienced dancer, you can join in immediately and get the full benefit and joy of the event as all dances are first practised and then “called”. No need to feel nervous or apprehensive. It’s a chance to meet new friends and have some fun. 6 October: We have a treat in store tonight as Sibby will be calling. He comes a long way, and we are very grateful. Each caller has a different style and different favourite dances they like to call so we never get bored. And Sibby is very entertaining. 13 October: A great friend of the Club is calling tonight-Philip Barber. He is a marvellous caller, and we always look forward to his coming. He is so well versed in the dances that he can easily and readily adapt his programme to suit any circumstances he finds and the numbers present. Quite a talent. And one that guarantees us a delightful evening. 20 October: Our caller tonight is Sue Hastings, a Club member. Sue is often asked to call at other clubs and is now getting quite a name for herself. So, we are delighted to have her and know the evening will be great. 27 October: Tonight, we celebrate Hallowe’en when things can go “bump” in the night! And some of our members dress to scare-which they do very effectively! There’s absolutely no obligation to wear fancy dress but it’s an opportunity. The leader of the revelries is Les Wallace who will be calling. He is a member of the Club and very experienced, so we know to expect a fun time. £5 (£4 Club Members). Pay at the Hall ULEZ: Please note, the Club’s Hall lies within the south circular. ENQUIRIES:
