Secret Histories: Damian Barr with Sarah Perry

19.00 Wednesday 3rd April 2019

Inspired by real events, You Will Be Safe Here uncovers a hidden colonial history and present-day darkness while exploring our capacity for cruelty and kindness. This is the debut novel from Damian Barr, whose awarding-winning memoir, Maggie & Me, was about coming of age and coming out in Thatcher?s Britain. He is the creator and host of the marvellous Literary Salon.

We are thrilled that Damian will be with us on the evening before the publication day of You Will Be Safe Here. He will be talking about his novel with Sarah Perry, author of Dulwich Books favourites, The Essex Serpent and Melmoth. Both You Will Safe Here and Melmoth consider the links between hidden legacies of history and the present. Don?t miss what is sure to be a fantastic discussion about this wonderful debut novel and about how fiction can be used to illuminate the past.

The event will start promptly at 19.00 and finish by 20.30

Location: Dulwich Books, 6 Croxted Rd, Dulwich, SE21 8SW

Price: ?10 (admission & glass of wine)

?22 (admission, copy of You Will Be Safe Here & glass of wine)

  Please everyone. Do watch or listen to that PMQ. Because if you think starmer got a battering and Badenoch didn’t come across as patently ill-suited to the job… well, jazzer has a friend

  Hello Everyone, Are you are a patient at FHRGP? I have copied the following information from their website about the next Patient Participation Group meeting to be held at 6.30pm, on Thursday 23rd January 2025. This is an opportunity to come along, listen to what they have to say as per the Agenda, and perhaps ask some pertinent and searching questions about any concerns you may have regarding the agenda items, or any other matters regarding the Practice and the impact and consequences it has on us, the patients. Patient Participation Group (PPG) Next Meeting: 6:30pm Thursday 23rd January 2025 Dr Ganesh will continue to share with us the realities of general practice. The agenda will include: The FHRGP Website Allocation of appointments Accessing non-urgent care A named GP Staff name badges Face to face appointments Older patients and apps The long term plan A patients’ questionnaire All patients are warmly invited to share in this opportunity Time will be given for patients’ issues including topics for PPG discussion in 2025 Please, put the date and time in your diary and come along. Change only happens, when the people (us, the patients) make our voices heard about any concerns we may have, to those who can affect change, and improve how things are run to benefit the patients. "Things can only get better"
