Editorial the Scottish Widows Parish Walk This Year Celebrated Its 50Th Anniversary in the Current Format FRONT COVER: Two hours into the walk and the roads are packed with crowds of walkers in the Scottish Widows Parish Walk 2010. Event Main sponsors: Scottish Widows. Event Timing sponsors: Manx Telecom Editorial The Scottish Widows Parish Walk this year celebrated its 50th anniversary in the current format. The event continues to grow and develop, as many people on the island now see it as a “rite of passage” and overseas visitors make the trip to face one of the ultimate walking challenges in the world. Another record year for entries brings speculation that limits will eventually be introduced. However, such suggestions have been put forward for many years, as the following extract from this magazine twelve years ago, when a record entry of 595 was received in 1998 shows: “Every year we think it can’t get bigger but it does. We thought it was superb when we had 200 entries, now it’s almost 600. Now all attention turns to 1999 when bigger still could bring organisational problems.” Congratulations to all those who took part this in years event. You may have found it hard (or not!) but many of you will already be thinking of next year. Achieving your targets brings such satisfaction, and the accomplishment of finishing a full Parish is certainly something you will talk about for the rest of your life. A few talented walkers manage to complete 85 miles with little or no training, but for the rest of us it takes planning, training, and other events to get us prepared. There are many other events between now and next year in which you can enjoy yourself whilst improving your capabilities. For those who want to achieve greater things there is the Centurion walk coming up - 100 miles in 24 hours! However, all are welcome and encouraged to enter the End-to-End Walk on the Isle of Man in September. Walking from the Northern to the Southern end of the island through the most scenic parts of the island. Like the Parish, numbers are growing year on year.

  • 1 Gd 2020/0058
    GD 2020/0058 2020/21 1 Programme for Government October 2020 – July 2021 Introduction The Council of Ministers is pleased to bring its revised Programme for Government to Tynwald. The Programme for Government was agreed in Tynwald in January 2017, stating our strategic objectives for the term of our administration and the outcomes we hoped to achieve through it. As we enter the final year of this parliament, the world finds itself in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. This and other external factors, such as the prospect of a trade agreement between the UK and the EU, will undoubtedly continue to influence the work of Government in the coming months and years. What the Isle of Man has achieved over the past six months, in the face of COVID-19, has been truly remarkable, especially when compared to our nearest neighbours. The collective response of the people of our Island speaks volumes of the strength of our community and has served to remind us of the qualities that make our Island so special. At the beginning of the pandemic the Council of Ministers suspended the Programme for Government, and any work within it, to bring to bear the complete resources of the public service in the fight against coronavirus as we worked to keep our island and its people safe. Through the pandemic we have seen behaviour changes in society and in Government, and unprecedented times seem to have brought unprecedented ways of working. It is important for the future that we learn from the experiences of COVID and carry forward the positive elements of both what was achieved, and how Government worked together to achieve it.

  • Women's Suffrage in the Isle Of
    Education Pack Women’s Suffrage in the Isle of Man Contact Details: [email protected] 01624 685520 1 Introduction from the President of Tynwald It is still not widely known that the Isle of Man was the first place in the world where women could vote in a national election. In 2018 the United Kingdom is celebrating the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, when women householders, leaseholders, and graduates over the age of 30 were given the right to vote in elections to the House of Commons. By 1918, women householders in the Isle of Man had been able to vote in elections to the House of Keys for 37 years, and women leaseholders had been able to for 26 years. A year later, in 1919, all women resident in the Isle of Man would be given both the vote and the right to stand for election, regardless of their property status. Unlike in the United Kingdom, there was no mass campaigning of the sort organised by the suffragettes. Instead, it appears to have been largely the work and initiative of individuals such as Richard Sherwood MHK, who worked to secure votes for women in the 19th century, and William Crennell MHK, whose efforts achieved universal adult suffrage in the early 20th century. These men were, however, undoubtedly supported in their mission by women and other allies, The Hon Steve Rodan BSc (Hons) whose names and deeds have sadly not been recorded. MRPharmS MLC, President of Giving women householders the vote in 1881 was the first in a long Tynwald line of extensions to the franchise, all of which can be summarised by the principle of ‘no taxation without representation’.

    Tribute to former Member, Mr Martyn Quayle The President: Hon. Members, as we prepare to meet the challenges of the future, we now pause to remember the life and work of one who joined in accepting the challenges of the past, Martyn Quayle, former Member for Middle, our colleague and friend, who died on 26th August. I call upon the Hon. Member of Council, Mr Anderson. Mr Anderson: Thank you, Mr President, for the opportunity to pay tribute to George Martyn Quayle, who has tragically passed away since the last sitting of this Hon. Court. I know Mr Speaker has paid tribute in another place, but as being a Member of Tynwald was something he was especially proud of, it is fitting we should add a tribute in Tynwald Court today. Martyn was the youngest of three sons of George and Elaine Quayle, of the well-known farming family of Glenlough, Marown. Being the third son, he decided on a life in the Civil Service, but after a short time he went to work for the Isle of Man Farmers, at that time, the largest agricultural merchant on the Island, serving under Arnold Callin, then a Member of Tynwald, who no doubt cultivated Martyn’s already active political interest. In 1986, he succeeded Arnold Callin as general manager. Throughout his youth, he was a keen and active member of the Young Farmers’ movement and became chair of the Isle of Man Federation of Young Farmers and represented the Island at off- Island events. These started a lifelong involvement with the Young Farmers Ambassadors’ movement, with an exchange visit to an Austrian farming family, who became Martyn’s extended family.
