Dulwich & District U3A Monthly Open Meeting Wed 11th Nov

Herne Hill Baptist Church, Half Moon Lane SE24 9HU

An Illustrated talk by Benny Dembitzer

'In the Eye of the Hurricane'

Is the large scale increase in refugees reaching Europe a one-off phenomenon or the gradual unfolding of wider and uncontrollable forces involving over-population, climate change, urbanisation, civil wars and global migration?


Benny, who lives locally, is an economist who has specialised in developing countries, particularly in Africa. He is a member of the team that won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985 and has published books entitled ?The Attack on World Poverty? and ?Sleepwalking into Global Famine?. He lectures frequently at London Universities and to voluntary aid organisations, and has recently returned from a lecture tour of Brazil.

The talk will be followed with Q&A and refreshments.

All welcome - no charge to members and non members

    • Gosh, a mere 61 years since "It's my party".  I didn't know at the time that it was QJ's first production.  I remember it like last week and probably have him to thank, for beating Spector to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_My_Party  
    • Quincy Jones Born March 14, 1933, Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Died November 3, 2024 (aged 91), Los Angeles, California, U.S. Simply a musical legend of his time who's contribution to RnB, Soul and jazz music should never be under estimated.  Record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer. He worked with many of the soul and jazz legends himself, and he has a back catalogue of material I urge you to listen to and enjoy. He will be sadly missed.         
    • Used Leon for the first time today as our usual electrician was out of London. neighbour gave us his details as we lost all power in the lower part of our house. Fortunately we had a separate circuit for the first floor so could boil up a kettle. Leon when rang advised he could come this afternoon, turned up and checked every thing and got power back on and to call him back if we had any more problems. Reasonable rate considering it was an emergency call out. Nice chap, very helpful, would recommend.
    • Hubby went in to enquire re washing a double duvet - cost quoted £20.  He paid £25 a few weeks ago of another duvet in a laundrette opposite Peckham Bus Garage.
