That Malta, and in W.A.R. Richardson (Adelaide) particular Valletta, is steeped in history is not Montserrat Galera (Barcelona) Bob Karrow (Chicago) really news, but looking at their fortresses and Peter Barber (London) ramparts close up and touring the beautiful Catherine Delano-Smith (London) harbours of the city makes one wonder what Hélène Richard (Paris) might have happened to European history Günter Schilder (Utrecht) had the Great Siege by the Turks (which Elri Liebenberg (Pretoria) began in 1565) ended otherwise. Not to Executive Committee and Appointed Officers mention Malta’s later contribution as a Chairman: Hans Kok forward Naval and Air Force base in the Poelwaai 15, 2162 HA Lisse Mediterranean Sea.

We hope International Representative: to meet you all again next year in Vienna for the 2012 International Symposium. To be appointed One thing I particularly noticed and thought worth mentioning was the ‘Kid’s General Secretary: Stephen Williams Corner’ at the exhibition on German maps of Malta held in the Malta Maritime 135 Selsey Road, Edgbaston Museum. It introduced youngsters to cartography in a playful way, asking them to Birmingham B17 8JP, UK perform various requests on the computer like drawing a compass rose and colour it Tel: +44 (0)121 429 3813 in different ways, thus bringing cartography closer without really trying. Perhaps this email: [email protected] is an approach that might be applied by the organisers of other exhibitions. Treasurer: Jeremy Edwards Our new website is nearing completion and we all look forward to seeing it active 26 Rooksmead Road, Sunbury on Thames Middx TW16 6PD, UK online. Valerie is eager to get some more information on the website into this Journal Tel: +44 (0)1932 787390 and I do hope we will manage something before the stop-press date. There will be a email: [email protected] subtle change to the well known IMCoS logo; we will be keeping the logo intact as Dealer Liaison: Yasha Beresiner far as the general appearance is concerned (as it has branding value after so many years e-mail: [email protected] of use). However, a small alteration was due as the logo was not directly expressing a National Representatives Co-ordinator: relation to maps and cartography at first sight. The semi-globe ø in IMCoS, fostered Robert Clancy I believe by Yasha Beresiner, will be replaced by a compass rose ‘O’ with protruding PO Box 891, Newcastle 2300, compass points which we hope will make the cartographic implication clearer. The New South Wales, Australia colours of magenta and black will remain unchanged. Tel: +61 (0)249 96277 The season for auctions and exhibitions is on us once more whilst the internet is email: [email protected] Web Co-ordinator: Kit Batten also full of information and even maps maybe. Digitizing archives and maps may be Tel: +49 7118 601167 the way for better conservation (which is in our IMCoS statutes as well) but feeling email: [email protected] and smelling the old paper of a map is in itself much more rewarding to the cartophile Marketing Consultant: Tom Harper collector than reading a digital file. On the other hand, the digital magnification that Tel: +44 (0)7811 582106 a high resolution image will allow is also something that has great merit for the email: [email protected] collector. Maybe a matter of generation gap: not everything new is an improvement, Photographer: David Webb not everything old is obsolete by virtue of being old. Or vice versa, neither is 48d Bath Road, Atworth, everything new superfluous, nor is everything old to be kept forever unchanged. Melksham SN12 8JX, UK Drawing a compass rose on the computer is fun; listening to history tales related to Tel: +44 (0)1225 702 351 maps is both intriguing and rewarding. I wish you a season of intriguing maps and lots IMCoS Financial and Membership Administration: Sue Booty of fun in exploring them.

Not only did the Mediterranean sun warm us through all day, every day, but the committee of the MMS were on hand at every turn to assist and advise. It will be a long time before I forget the sight of Claude Micallef Attard, their treasurer, running around looking after everyone and making sure no-one got left behind. On one occasion Kitty Liebrich was late but without making any fuss the bus turned round and went back for her. Another abiding memory will be their wonderful President, Dr Ganado, who acts more like a 40-year-old than an octogenarian. He attended all the events and stood for long periods without any complaint. He showed us round his historic house (see IMCoS Journal 126 pp.41-45 ‘The House that Maps Built: a very special family home in Valletta.’) which contains several flights meridian and the maps that resulted. It is difficult of marble stairs which may hold the clue to his to grasp the fact that at that time scientists were longevity! Also, the powerhouse of all the not certain about the true size and shape of the organisation was the Secretary, Joseph Schirò, earth and expeditions to resolve this question who had attended to every detail.

Padel (pp. 119–26) ______________________________________________________________ This article is from the Journal of the English Place-Name Society, an annual peer-reviewed journal issued free to members of the Society. The Journal welcomes contributions of articles and notes on subjects of relevance to English place-names. The English Place-Name Society (EPNS) was established in 1923 to conduct a county-by-county survey of the place-names of England. To date, the Survey has produced 90 volumes. Almost all English counties have been surveyed, at least in part, and work to complete the Survey is ongoing. The Survey is used by researchers, academics, and those interested in the origins, meaning, and significance of English place-names. The research work and the publication of the Survey are financed by the annual subscriptions of members of the Society, with the help of grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. Since the progress and success of the Survey depend largely upon the strength of the membership, the Society always welcomes new members, both personal and institutional. In return for the annual subscription, members receive free of charge the current issue of the Journal as well as the volume of the Survey allocated to that year’s subscription. They are entitled to order, in addition, any available volume of the Survey at a concessionary price. Associate Members pay a reduced subscription, for which they receive the Journal.
