Our committee would very much like this club to be led by the members, so we need to hear what you want! We will gather your thoughts by breaking into groups for brainstorming, discussions, reminiscing and adding a touch of ‘blue sky thinking’. Notes will be taken so we can act on the membership’s wishes over the next year. So please do come along to make your voice heard! As usual, tea and coffee will be on offer, we won’t know if the bar is open until the night, so best to be prepared and BYO if you’d like something cooler.

Mudlarking; a fascinating insight into the treasures revealed by the Thames at low tide (+TEAMS)
2024-09-12 20:00 - 22:00
by Official Mudlark and author Jenny Ridgewell
For years I’ve been a food writer but when I returned to London to live by the Thames, things changed. At low tide I saw people on the foreshore poking about in the shingle. What were they looking for? To find out I joined them and eventually registered as one of 5000 official Mudlarks that have a licence to search the riverbank. I was so excited to discover London’s history from discarded things in the river that I’ve written a book – Guide to Mudlarking – and I’ll share my foreshore finds and stories with you. Votive offerings from this sacred river like Ganesh emerging from the mud, ancient bone tools from the people that lived in Putney, pottery pieces with fascinating stories like the paste that sailors took for long journeys. Things I’ve never found like the typeface that was thrown into the river, discovered years later and used on the architecture for Tideways Supersewer.
