FTE Entries & Registration Paperwork Race secretaries should not accept FTEs at a meet without proof and a copy of registration given to the race-secretary at the meet or proof of prior registration with the Registrar and the assigned NRN. Use the FTE entry form on the www.notraracing.org website for all FTE’s and mail the form, the registration papers, and the FTE fee to the Registrar to save time on race day, or bring the form with you to the meet and pay the Race Secretary. Make sure you have complete contact info and current mailing addresses on the form so we can communicate with you if necessary. 2021 Back to Back meets (Same weekend) Sue Weilbacher has agreed to do a whippet re-grading for the club race secretary when the same dogs are expected to be at both meets on the same weekend.

  • There Are Various Ways of Sourcing Books to Read During the Lockdown
    There are various ways of sourcing books to read during the lockdown. You may have borrowed a lot from the school library, or may have lots at home. I’ve listed a selection of suggested good reads: some brand new, some classics, some long, some short. I hope there will be a good selection, with something for everyone. I’ll send five more each week. Next to each book, I have shown its price on Amazon. Any classics should be able to be downloaded on to a Kindle App for free. It is possible to join Buckinghamshire Libraries from home: https://buckinghamshire.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/MSGTRN/WPAC/JOIN from which you can download books using the Libby App: https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby/?utm_origin=lightning&utm_page_genre=tout&u tm_list=meet_libby&utm_content=libby_tout_learnmore_06019018 This is another good way of accessing books for free.

  • By TERRY PRATCHETT
    Discussion Guide By TERRY PRATCHETT ABOUT THE BOOK A young street urchin comes to the aid of a seemingly helpless young woman, beginning his meteoric ascent through London society as he rubs shoulders with the likes of Charles Dickens, Benjamin Disraeli, and Sweeney Todd. With his characteristic wit and boundless imagination, Terry Pratchett delivers a tale of London in the Victorian Age, and of a young man who must navigate its seamy underbelly—not just the ancient Roman sewers but the dangerous world of greed, crime, and politics. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Discuss a woman’s place in society during telling people that they are downtrodden, the Victorian Age. Cite evidence from the text, you tend to make two separate enemies. especially as it relates to Simplicity, Angela, Money makes people rich; it is a fallacy to think and the queen. How representative do you it makes them better, or even that it makes them think they are of typical Victorian women? worse. Responsibilities are the anvil on which a man is forged.” Can you spot others? 2. In this novel, one of the world’s greatest storytellers (Terry Pratchett) pays homage to 6. “ The iron forged on the anvil cannot be blamed another (Charles Dickens). Discuss several for the hammer,” says Solomon (page 182). ways that Pratchett does this. Do you agree? “Mister Todd killed, but he wasn’t a killer. Maybe if he’d never had to go 3.

    “First Among Shepherds”: Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching Series from an Arthurian Perspective By Freya Sacksen A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for a degree in a Master of Arts.

In my MA thesis, I examine closely the allusive qualities of the white knowledge present in Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching series: The Wee Free Men (2003), A Hat Full of Sky (2004), Wintersmith (2006), I Shall Wear Midnight (2010) and The Shepherd’s Crown (2015).

  • Dodger, Terry Pratchett. (Fiction) 1210L a Storm
    High School English Summer Reading List New in 2013: Dodger, Terry Pratchett. (Fiction) 1210L A storm. Rain-lashed city streets. A flash of lightning. A scruffy lad sees a girl leap desperately from a horse-drawn carriage in a vain attempt to escape her captors. Can the lad stand by and let her be caught again? Of course not, because he's . Dodger. Seventeen-year-old Dodger may be a street urchin, but he gleans a living from London's sewers, and he knows a jewel when he sees one. He's not about to let anything happen to the unknown girl—not even if her fate impacts some of the most powerful people in England. From Dodger's encounter with the mad barber Sweeney Todd to his meetings with the great writer Charles Dickens and the calculating politician Benjamin Disraeli, history and fantasy intertwine in a breathtaking account of adventure and mystery. Beloved and bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett combines high comedy with deep wisdom in this tale of an unexpected coming-of-age and one remarkable boy's rise in a complex and fascinating world. New in 2013: Caught by the Sea, Gary Paulsen. (Non-fiction) 1210L Gary Paulsen takes readers along on his maiden voyage, proving that ignorance can be bliss - also really stupid and incredibly dangerous. He tells of boats that have owned him—good, bad, and beloved—and how they got him through terrifying storms that he survived by sheer luck. His spare prose conjures up shark surprises and killer waves as well as moonlights on the sea, and makes readers feel what it‘s like to sail under the stars or to lie at anchor in a tropical lagoon where dolphins leap, bathed in silver.

  • Dodger by Terry Pratchett
    London uncovered by London, one of the great capital cities of the world, has provided inspiration for countless writers over the years. This diverse selection of novels have one element in common: they are all set in this fascinating city. Spanning centuries and genres, these stories explore many aspects of London – from the historically accurate to the futuristic and fantastic. If you cannot visit the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, the Natural History Museum or Brick Lane in person, why not travel by book? Dodger by Terry Pratchett Dodger, hero and rogue, is a tosher -- in other words, he makes his ‘living’ by skimming through the sewers, panning for gold through mud and muck. His aim is invisibility; and if that doesn't work, he has learned how to twist and turn his way out of trouble. But when he comes to the rescue of a mysterious young beauty, Dodger emerges from the underworld - becoming all too visible, to enemies and friends alike. This historical fantasy takes place in a Victorian London so Dickensian that Charles Dickens has more than a walk-on role in the story. Indeed, one of the pleasures of the novel is playing the ‘spot the eminent Victorian’ game. All readers should attempt a Terry Pratchett novel at some point. This entertaining adventure is a good place to start. Reading and interest level: 14+ Genre: historical; fantasy; Victorian England; adventure; humour Created by Beth Bonini for TRAC I, Coriander by Sally Gardner This otherworldly book manages to combine fairy-tale fantasy with the dark realities of London under Oliver Cromwell's Puritan reign.

  • This Essay Explores the Possibilities Offered by the Interpretation of Terry
    “YOU TURN WORLDS UPSIDE DOWN”: THE POLITICS OF REVERSAL IN TERRY PRATCHETT’S NATION MARIA BŁASZKIEWICZ Terry Pratchett’s novel Nation (2008) offers potential interpretative reversals of the motifs of island and shipwreck. The novel’s plot is dominated by two islands and three shipwrecks, the importance of which depends on the perspective imposed by the cartographic representation, which becomes only apparent with the reversal of cardinal directions on a map placed on the book’s last page. One island, Great Britain, belonging to the political centre of the world, is juxtaposed with the tiny island of Nation which, as a result of a momentous reversal of fortune of both the heroes and the nations they represent, becomes the world’s centre of science, incidentally occasioning a partial destruction of the traditional dichotomy of science and religion. This essay explores the possibilities offered by the interpretation of Terry Pratchett’s alternative history novel Nation1 in terms of its pattern of structural, symbolic and ideological reversals centred on the motifs of island and shipwreck understood both literally and allegorically. Nation differs from the majority of Pratchett’s novels in several ways. Firstly, unlike practically everything else published in the last fifteen years, it does not in any way refer to his sprawling Discworld series. Secondly, it is significantly less comic (but not less ironic) and more directly involved in various ideological concerns of the real world than anything he has ever written. Thirdly, unlike most, especially later works, Nation is very consciously and artistically structured. It is also the only2 novel by Pratchett set in an alternative 3 version of our own world.

  • Terry Pratchett's Narrative Worlds
    Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research journal.finfar.org BOOK REVIEW: Terry Pratchett’s Narrative Worlds: From Giant Turtles to Small Gods Andrew M. Butler Rana, Marion, editor. Terry Pratchett’s Narrative Worlds: From Giant Turtles to Small Gods. Palgrave Macmillan, 2018. ISBN 978-3319672977. This baker’s dozen of essays on Terry Pratchett, edited by Marion Rana of the University of Bremen, is an entry in the Palgrave Macmillan series Critical Approaches to Children’s Literature. This offers us a puzzle, as only a small proportion of Pratchett’s oeuvre was aimed at younger readers – his (later heavily revised) debut, The Carpet People (1971/1992), the Truckers trilogy (1989–1990), the Johnny Maxwell trilogy (1992–1996), Maurice and his Amazing Educated Rodents (2001), Where’s My Cow? (2005), Nation (2008), Dodger (2012), and the Tiffany Aching Discworld novels (2003–2015); in addition, posthumous short-story collections were issued between 2014 and 2020. The various target age groups of these books – from a picture book mentioned in and released at the same time as Thud! (2005) to young-adult titles – bring with them differing meanings of identity, coming of age, sexuality, freedom, and gender, but Terry Pratchett’s Narrative Worlds mentions very few of these titles in passing, if at all. Even the chapters that do pay attention to the child protagonists do not stick to the children’s books. Maxi Steinbrück discusses education with varying degrees of formality: Mort’s on-the-job training; Tiffany’s mix of instinct, apprenticeship, and becoming a learner; Susan’s boarding school; and the Unseen University.
