The activities include music, drama, sports of many kinds, exchanges, camping, trekking and scouts.

The journalist and broadcaster Moyes may be unique in tightness of affiliation with both Victor Trumper and Donald Bradman: he was an opponent of the former, a biographer of the latter, a friend and idolator of both. He also links the man in whose name tonight’s inaugural lecture has been endowed. Six-year-old Moyes first met Trumper one summer evening in December 1900 when his father, a schoolteacher, invited the visiting New South Wales team to their home in Adelaide. In The Changing Face of Cricket, Moyes recalled that he was at first less taken by Trumper than by his teammate Jack Marsh: “I do not remember now whether I had seen a coloured man, but certainly I hadn’t seen one who was playing first-class (2) Iconic image: the photo that began the Trumper legend cricket, and Marsh fascinated me.

Mr. Britton told the 921 boys that a good number of them would, after leaving school, attend Old Boltonians’ Association events, even if they found that difficult to imagine right now. The OBA, which has a world-wide membership of over 5,500 former pupils, provides the link between Old Boys and their former school and offers social and sporting opportunities. Mr. Britton told how 26 former Presidents of the OBA are still alive and thanked the 14 of them who were present. He told how an affinity with the School never leaves most Old Boys and they are always keen to return to deliver talks, career advice and sagacity. It was Headmaster Matthews back in 1895 who conceived the idea of an Alumni club and who organised the first dinner. 330 invites were despatched to all corners of the land and a group of 63 gathered at the Commercial Hotel in Bolton on 21 March 1895 for the inaugural dinner. One of the first endeavours of the Old Boys was to raise funds to enable the education of young men through what are now called bursaries. School Captain Ruairi McCabe took the audience back to 1895 and told of a not altogether unfamiliar world, where the UK had uncertain relationships with Europe, 2 had experienced a number of relatively short-lived governments, recollections which involved other Old Boy teachers including Mr.

From Australiarsquo;s first Test cricket captain Dave Gregory, through to the current captain Ricky Ponting, Malcolm Knoxrsquo;s new book tells the colourful story of how Australian cricket has evolved since itrsquo;s earliest days, how the captain has influenced or stood apart from that evolution, and how the captaincy itself has changed over time. Covering the highs and lows of Australiarsquo;s national game, The Captains chronicles the personalities that have shaped and influenced the Australian team for over a century. From larrikins to quiet achievers to true gentlemen of the game; over the years the Australian captains have provided as much colour, intrigue and scandal to cricket as match-fixing scandals and diet pills ever could.

    In from the Cold: Tom Wills – A Nineteenth Century Sporting Hero By Gregory Mark de Moore A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development Victoria University Melbourne, Victoria September 2008 i Abstract Tom Wills was the most important Australian sportsman of the mid-nineteenth century, but it is only in the first decade of the twenty-first century that he has grown in profile as a figure of cultural significance. Although Tom Wills is best recalled as the most important figure in early Australian Rules football, it was cricket that dominated his life. He rose to prominence in cricket during his time at Rugby school in England during the 1850s. When he returned to Australia he became the captain of the Victorian cricket team. On 10 July 1858 he penned what has become one of the most famous documents in Australian sporting history: a letter calling for the formation of a ‘foot- ball’ club. Only three years later his father was murdered by aborigines in central Queensland in what is recorded as the highest number of European settlers killed by aborigines in a single assault. Remarkably, only five years after his father’s murder, Tom Wills coached an aboriginal cricket team from western Victoria. Tom Wills’ life ended early, as did so many lives of colonial sportsmen, shortened by the effects of alcohol. Alcohol abuse led directly to the suicide of Wills at the age of 44 years. This thesis is the first academic attempt to uncover and then critically review some of the important parameters that shaped his life.

    Belmont’s Evacuee Children George Skinner George Belmont’s Evacuee Children The story of how Belmont Villagers and their Primary School gave a home to war-time Evacuee Children. George Skinner November 2019 1 Contents Introduction 3 1. The National Evacuation Programme 5 2. Belmont’s Evacuee Children 9 3. School must go on 29 4. Stories from the War Years 33 5. Belmont Primary School Remembers 51 6. Acknowledgements & Further Information 55 Notes & References 57 (Linked to “footnote” numbers in the main text) 2 Introduction On the 25th August 1939, the small elementary school1 in the Lancashire village of Belmont closed for its usual late summer works holidays. The Headteacher, Mr Vincent Hill, wrote up the school Log Book2 before leaving for home, noting the closure and adding on the next line, “Sept 11 Re-open”. But during the holiday Britain declared war on Germany and on his return to school Mr Hill had to amend the ‘re-open’ entry by adding, “- not done because war broke out on Sunday September 3rd at 11 o’clock”. The cause of what turned out to be a three-day delay in starting the new term is given simply as “for War Emergency,” popular code for the mass evacuation of children from British cities. What it meant in practice for the village was the arrival of 80 new children, more than doubling the number of pupils already in its tiny school. The events which followed this unusual start to the new school year may be traced from two official Belmont Primary School record books.

Last year, the service had focused on VE Day and those that lost their lives in Europe; this year, thoughts turned to VJ Day or Victory in the Pacific Day and to the six former pupils who lost their lives in South East Asia. Six pupils recalled their life stories, which are recorded in Dr. Eric McPherson’s book, Remembered With Honour which recalls all those Old Boys that lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.
