A talk by the Head of Art History – Judith Jammers – on the architecture of Dyne House, opened in 1967.
Free to former parents, pupils and staff.
The 1932-33 England cricket tour of Australia was one of the most widely reported of all time. During a period when long-distance communications were either painfully slow or terrifically expensive, c. 130,000 words were wired across the world over a three-day period, costing a small fortune. Nor did interest in the tour wane within a few years, and even today, over eighty years after the victorious English side left Australia, more is written about this series than any other. The reason is simple: for the first time in the history of the game, controversy that took place on the field took on a political dimension, causing Dominions Secretary, Jimmy Thomas, to later recall: ‘no politics ever introduced in the British Empire caused me so much trouble as this damn bodyline bowling’.
The talk will be given by James Newton, Head of History at Highgate School.
Starting and finshing at Golders Green, this is a country walk inside London. It is suitable for existing, new and prospective members. Despite being well within London it is over 85% on tracks and paths , passes through several ancient woodlands and visits many bodies of water. It even goes along a disused railway line.
It is a good opportunity for prospective members or those just thinking about joining to meet existing members and find out more about the Central London Outdoors Group
If you can’t make this walk, please tell your friends as they might be interested
I will lead you past West Heath, Parliament Hill (with one of the very best views of the City) and Highgate Ponds. Ascending Highgate Hill, we will continue to Highgate Wood where I intend stopping for lunch (you can buy a meal or a drink or bring your own picnic to eat on the adjoining lawn) After going through Queens Wood we pass Highgate underground station (it is possible to leave the walk here),The Parkland Walk path is a ribbon of green woods high above the houses on disused railway line. Crossing high above the Archway we walk through Waterlow Park to Highgate Village then descend to Hampstead Heath passing Kenwood House Ken Wood itself and the strange oaks of Sandy Heath and the North End. Finally we walk down the Heath Extension before turning off to return to the start at Golders Green

The Ninth Annual Kyffin Williams Lecture
Vincent Van Gogh and Anthony Green
Martin Bailey
The art historian Martin Bailey has published two books in the past few weeks – one on Van Gogh (Studio of the South: Van Gogh in Provence) and the other on the former Highgate student Anthony Green RA (Painting Life), who was taught by Kyffin Williams in the 1950s. In his lecture, Bailey will explore the links, since Green has always been strongly influenced by Van Gogh’s Sunflowers.

Play is a normal way for humans to engage with their environment and subsequently acquire knowledge as well as develop competences. Digital technologies have pushed the potential for games into areas where people engage with one another in virtual and augmented reality. The aim of this talk is to share insights into how games are shaping society and to explore the benefits whilst discussing the potential drawbacks.
