The restoration of the ecology at the Model Boating Pond on Hampstead Heath
A Year at the Boat Pond is an exhibition of watercolours, acrylics and mixed media that documents the restoration of the ecology at the Model Boating Pond on Hampstead Heath in London following the rebuilding of its dam in 2015-16. The paintings record the aquatic and meadow planting taking root and growing through the seasons.
Journeying through the places that she is emotionally attached to, and looking at how they are all intimately linked by the changing global climate, Dee McLean’s paintings reflect how beautiful and precious our ecosystems are, exploring the relationship between our landscapes and ourselves.
She has written a book in conjunction with the exhibition which explores the geology and history of the Heath, the work done on the ponds and looking at the how the changing global climate has led to the changes in our weather patterns making this environmentally important work necessary. Dee will give you an opportunity to hear about the project in a talk on Saturday 13th and Saturday 20th at 2pm.
Dee studied Illustration at Harrow School of Art and went on to a career in Medical Illustration. She has also had several exhibitions of botanical paintings and drawings and taken on private commissions. Dee is now bringing her love of science and art back into painting, drawing and writing, and hopes that through her art she can remind us that we can all play a part in protecting our own environment.
Dee’s projects take her around the world, painting directly from the geology, flora and fauna she finds on her travels, looking to capture the ephemeral nature of our environment.
Following on from this show, Dee has an exhibition of her Gulf Coast paintings in Covington, Louisiana, USA in May 2019.
All Dee’s projects have a local charity attached to them. Heath Hands, who are the voluntary organisation on the Heath, will receive a donation from all sales of original paintings, the book, prints and cards from this project.
The original hippy musical HAIR made its debut on the London stage in Autumn 1968.
Fifty years on, some of the original cast members get back together to talk about their experience of being in the very first rock musical.
Paul Nicholas, Annabel Leventon and Peter Straker have all gone on to be major stars in British theatre.
We are hoping that other cast members from HAIR will join Paul, Annabel and Peter. Come and listen to them talk about that wonderful period of love and peace. Help us recreate the Age of Aquarius and Let The Sunshine In!
There will also be a few old film clips to remind everyone what a hippy happy time we enjoyed in the Swinging Sixties.
Hosted by John Plews
The inspiring true story of football’s greatest ever underdogs.
Set in the early years of Association Football, The Giant Killers follows a ragtag bunch of Lancashire mill workers who defied all odds to become the first working-class team in the country to play in the FA Cup. Left tired and despondent from the cotton famine of the 1870s, this small group of northern lads found pride and hope in a game that up until then had been reserved for the upper classes. Darwen FC rose up against prevailing social prejudice and the might of the Football Association, to earn a place in history as the first real ‘giant-killers’ in English football, and take on the “poshest team of all” – The Old Etonians. Scoring a massive moral victory for all working class people, the team proved that passion and spirit is worth more than wealth and privilege. When the Battlefield is the football pitch, everyone is equal. The Giant Killers is an absorbing, heartfelt story of a town that came together to achieve the impossible and win the respect of the nation. A rip-roaring evening out, whether you know the off-side rule or not!
Directed by Andrew Loudon (director of the West End productions of Carries War, Little Women and Cool Hand Luke).

In this, his penultimate play, Ibsen explores the effects of hubris on his eponymous character and those around him. Written in the naturalistic style, which was in great favour amongst playwrights of the time, it explores the rise and fall of a man of humble origins – John Gabriel is the son of a miner – who rose to prominence as a banker and financial advisor to the wealthy citizens of his home town and then through greed and ambition is disgraced and brings shame on himself and
his family. In this, as in many of his plays, although Borkman is the central character around whom the action revolves, it is the females in his life who have true strength. It is they who recognise reality and control the final outcome of the story. Though apparently bleak the play offers hope for the future and acknowledges that life goes on, carried forward by the next generation.

Are you thinking of buying a new car? Is now the time to think electric?
On 15thNovember the Highgate Society Sustainable Living Group will be hosting an informative evening on the subject of electric vehicles (EVs) Spaces are limited so please register on Event Brite here.
The UK government, in common with many other national governments has ruled that by 2040 there will be no more sales of new conventional petrol or diesel passenger vehicles. All major car manufacturers now have electric models, and EV registrations have soared from 3,500 in 2013 to 166,000 by August 2018. A surge in the number of charging points has accompanied the rise in vehicles – by August 2018 there were over 17,000 of them.
But there are so many questions if you are considering purchasing an electric vehicle. What are the ranges of the latest model – how many miles can you go on a full charge? How do I get a home charger installed? What if I don’t have off-street parking? And what about public charging – how long does it take to charge compared to filling up with petrol? Will an electric vehicle save money compared to a conventional car – what are the subsidies and incentives provided by national and local government and how does the cost of charging compare to the cost of petrol? We’ll be aiming to provide some useful answers and good sources of further information at our event on 15thNovember.
Our early discussions on this topic within the Highgate Society, and with others concerned about our local community have raised some concerns about the widespread uptake of electric vehicles. Will it lead to more people concreting over their front-gardens? What are the parking space implications? Are public charging points cluttering up our pavements? And how far do electric vehicles go in addressing concerns about air pollution, climate change and congestion?
James Lamond -of the EVExperience Centre will firstly tell you about the electric models on the market and about charging them
Siân Berry – Co-leader of the Green Party will talk about what the UK and London Governments are doing
Joe Baker – Low Carbon officer at Haringey Council will tell you about Haringey’s work to increase electric vehicle take up
There will be refreshments and a panel discussion of questions from the audience.
James Lamond will have his electric vehicle outside to show to people too.
The evening will be held at 10a South Grove from 7.00pm to 9.30pm and all are welcome.
