THE Dulwich Despatch Summer 2023
Friday was exciting because Oliver was going to speak at a society. When Oliver went to invite his football friends to come to Climate Change Society deep rumblings of bemusement erupted, they had never heard something so astonishing. Oliver, once again, ventured into the grand red brick of the Barry buildings. Entering he asked a Year 13 for directions:
‘ Directions? Don ’ t ask me for directions. ’
Oliver moved on and navigated the winding corridors and disorientating doorways by himself, until finally entering a room with some semblance of Climate Change. Laid out on a desk were vegan biscuits and Mr Brown said they have cupcakes some days. The talk was interesting yet interactive. There wasn ’ t really a sense of formality. At the end, Mr Brown approached Oliver and spoke to him, ‘ Oliver, is it? ’ ‘ Yes sir. ’ ‘ Today, you were engaging and asked spectacular questions ’ ‘ Thank you, sir. ’ ‘ Would you like to become a member of Climate Change Society? You get a tie because you presented ’ With this, Oliver achieved the thing he wished for, the thing which sparked his journey. The question was now, which clubs to go to next week!
