  Join the Swedish-Irish Society for a screening of the dark comedy-thriller Bad Apples, starring the acclaimed Irish actress Saoirse Ronan.
  
  Dedicated middle school teacher Maria tries her best to inspire her class, but is constantly thwarted by the rowdy and acting-out student Danny. Left to fend for herself, she accidentally imprisons Danny in her basement, and soon discovers how harmony spreads through the class, to the delight of both the school and the parents.

  Hi everyone!
  
  On Sunday the 18th of October we're planning a hike in Nackareservatet (Nacka Nature Reserve) in Stockholm.
  The hike will be around 7.5 km at a fairly relaxed pace, starting and ending at the Hellasgården recreational area near Källtorp lake. We'll be following a marked trail and the terrain is mostly easy gravel paths. I recommend bringing shoes that can handle a bit of mud, and rain gear too if we get any showery spells.
  
  We'll finish at Hellasgården where they have a restaurant and café if you want to have lunch or coffee, they also have benches if you'd like to take your own packed lunch and snacks.
  The hike starts at 10:30 from Hellasgården bus stop (beside the tennis courts, across the road from the restaurant and main car park). So put it in your calendar and we hope to see you there!
  Don't forget to bring a camera for those autumn leaves!
  
  P.s. If the weather is rubbish we may cancel, so keep an eye on our event.
  
  Instructions on how to get to Hellasgården with public transport are as follows:
  1. Take a bus from Slussen: the 401 (towards Älta), it stops at Hellasgården and goes through Henriksdal and Sickla.
  2. Take a bus from Nacka or Tyresö: the 840 (from Nacka Strand to Handenterminalen) or 821 (from Nacka Sjukhus to Tyresö Centrum), both stop at Hellasgården.
