  • My Autobiography
    F SOLID GOLD MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY The Ultimate Rags to Riches Tale Forward by Robin Pilley David Gold, Chairman of Ann Summers, Gold Group International and West Ham United, is a man who has risen from humble and poverty stricken beginnings and achieved a status in life beyond what even he could have ever envisaged. Born an East End Jewish cockney lad, he was at the very bottom of life’s social strata. After a childhood characterised by war, poverty and disease he set out to change his life, and in the process he also changed the lives of everyone close to him. He understands and embraces the importance of change. He also changed the fortunes of his beloved football club, developed an iconic brand in Ann Summers and was influential in liberating the sexual behavior of the great British public. Now, Gold brings his unparalleled ability for change to his inspirational autobiography. This completely reworked edition, ‘The Ultimate Rags to Riches Tale’, focuses more on his personality, his remarkable business achievements, his life- affirming story and his reflections and recollections on a world that changed beyond recognition within his own lifetime. And most importantly, he speaks candidly about how he softened the British stiff upper lip and almost single-handedly brought sex onto the UK’s high streets and changed our sex lives for the better. No one has done more to prove that dreams can come true and now you can read his exceptional autobiography exclusively written to show just 2 what one man can achieve from the most humble beginnings.

Cain Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning on May 21, 2019 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master in City Planning ABSTRACT Until recently a heavily contested process, the International Olympic Committee has run into difficulty attracting qualified cities willing to host the Olympic Games. Since the 2008 global financial crisis, twelves cities have withdrawn bids due to local referendums or pressure from local groups over the rising costs of hosting the Games or a desire to spend public funds elsewhere. This has left only two candidates remaining by the time the vote was held in the last three award cycles, and three candidates the two cycles prior.

On some late nights, staff breaks, lunchtimes and Saturday it may not be possible to produce archival material because no Archives staff are available, so contact LHAC before visiting.

  • Volume 13 No.2 September 2010 Edition No.50
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 13 No.2 September 2010 Edition No.50 We’ve Made It Don’t want to make a big song and dance but we are 50 editions old at long last. It seems like only yesterday since we published the manifesto edition which set our stall for possible future editions. After moaning about the lack of a magazine like The Speedway Researcher we decided to see how our efforts would be received. We got a favourable response and then got on with producing more editions with loads of information which needed to be shared. There are loads of highlights and a few downers as we see loyal contributors and subscribers pass away. We’ve made a lot of long distance friendships and spent a lot of time helping fellow researchers track down that vital bit of information. It is particularly heartening to see the number of authors who have acknowledged the magazine. The web has added a new dimension to what we can do and has made so much information available to so many. It can only grow and expand but only as an adjunct to the magazine. We will continue to put back numbers on to the web site and let others share in the fruits of the efforts. We suspect very few magazines have been so open with their back numbers. So, we’d like to say thanks to everyone who has contributed and subscribed over the years. Without out your support we probably would have fizzled out a long time ago.
