  • Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes This Summer Is a Critical Moment in London’S Football History
    Culture, Sport and Tourism Away from home Scrutiny of London’s Football Stadiums June 2003 Culture, Sport and Tourism Away from home Scrutiny of London’s Football Stadiums June 2003 copyright Greater London Authority June 2003 Published by Greater London Authority City Hall The Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA www.london.gov.uk enquiries 020 7983 4100 minicom 020 7983 4458 ISBN 1 85261 496 1 Cover photograph credit EMPICS Sports Photo Agency This publication is printed on recycled paper Chair’s Foreword The move by Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes this summer is a critical moment in London’s football history. This move prompted the London Assembly’s Culture, Sport and Tourism committee to look into the issue of redevelopment for London clubs. With Fulham and Brentford yet to secure new stadiums for their clubs and question marks remaining over Arsenal’s and Tottenham’s grounds the issue is a live one. We do not want to see more clubs leave London. During the 2002/03 season about 5 million fans watched professional football in London. In addition, hundreds of thousands of Londoners participate every year in club sponsored community projects and play football. This report seeks to ensure that this added value isn’t lost to Londoners. We did not set out to judge local situations but to tease out lessons learnt by London football clubs. Football is more than just a business: the ties that a club has with its area and the fans that live or come from there are great. We recommend that more clubs have supporters on their board and applaud the work of Supporters Direct in rejuvenating the links between clubs and their fan base.

  • Connection and History Between Finland and Oniipa
    CONNECTION AND HISTORY BETWEEN FINLAND AND ONIIPA Finland and Namibia have enjoyed a good lasting relationship. Recently in the year 2019, the Embassy of Finland in Namibia hosted a remarkable celebration to mark 150 years of Finland and Namibia friendship. However, the notable connection between Finland and Namibia with Oniipa in particular, started through missionary work. ARRIVAL OF MISSIONARIES IN NAMIBIA The first group of missionaries, among them Martti Rautanen, nicknamed Nakambale, set foot on the sand of Walvis Bay on 14th February 1869. Then they spent a year in Otjimbingwe, where Martti Rautanen met a lady by the name Frieda, who was only 15 at the time. The missionaries then continued to Owamboland, and first settled in a village called Omandongo, on 9th July 1870. From Omandongo, the missionaries spread to Olukonda-Oniipa and other Kingdoms. The main building in Olukonda is today the Nakambale Museum, as Nakambale Martti and Frieda Rautanen with family lived here for most of their life. Nakambale died in 1926, Frieda in 1937, and they are buried in Olukonda, with some of their children. ARRIVAL AT ONIIPA POPULARY KNOWN AS A HOME FOR THE FINNISH In 1887, the Aandonga late King Kambonde ka Mpingana allocated them a piece of land in Oniipa, 8 km north of Olukonda, but due to staff shortage only in 1889 Frans Hannula started building a house, joined later by Albin Savola. The old main building from 1891 is still there, and used as a guesthouse. MAJOR WORK BY THE MISSIONARIES Besides preaching and teaching the Bible, they started learning Oshindonga and soon started writing elementary school books and grammar, and started translating passages from the Bible, and also hymns.

  • The Role of Regional Councillors in Consultation and Communication Regarding Rural Service Delivery in the Oshana Region of Namibia
    THE ROLE OF REGIONAL COUNCILLORS IN CONSULTATION AND COMMUNICATION REGARDING RURAL SERVICE DELIVERY IN THE OSHANA REGION OF NAMIBIA Tuhafeni Helao A research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Administration in the School of Government, Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, University of the Western Cape. October 2005 Supervisor Prof. C. De Coning i DEDICATION This research report is dedicated to the memory of my late grandmother, Susanna Mhingana Iiyambo; for her courage and advice from my childhood. Her departure on the 24th October 2004 has left a vacuum in the family, and indeed, in me, a memory which will never faint for the rest of my life. That is why I am saying: ‘Hambelela Nyokokulu, Nyoko ngeno ina dalwa’, if loosely translated it means; Praise your grandmother otherwise your mother could not have been born”. Thank you grandmother! ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Whilst I take full responsibility for whatever is presented in this Research Report, I am mindfully aware that it could not have been completed in its entirety without the undivided co-operation of a number of people, who gave their moral support, expertise, experience, views and time. Therefore, I wish to express my gratitude to my wife Emma and my children (Ndalinoshisho, Nangolo, Nelao, Ndeshipanda, Ndahafa and Ndapewa). Your patience, considerate and understanding have made this study a reality and without you being there for me I would never have achieved this. Secondly, I will not do justice to myself if I do not express my gratitude and appreciation to Prof.

  • Transcript for Culture, Sport and Tourism Meeting on 1 April 2003
    Item 4 Appendix D Transcript for Culture, Sport and Tourism meeting on 1 April 2003. Chair: Welcome to this meeting of the London Assembly Culture, Sport and Tourism Committee. I’m Meg Hillier, the Chair of the Committee, and I’m joined by my colleagues Len Duvall and Mike Tuffrey. Danny Myers is the Committee Scrutiny Manager and Saba Master is the Committee Administrator. This is our second enquiry into the future of football stadia in London. Chair: There are nine witnesses here this evening; three from London’s football clubs, three from supporters trusts and supporters, and four from residents’ groups. Thank you very much for coming. Charles Koppel, please briefly outline why you saw the only future for Wimbledon FC to move to Milton Keynes? Charles Koppel: We did a considerable amount of work over a long period of time to find alternate locations for the club. A lot of that was done in partnership with Merton council, looking at sites within Merton. We also contacted approximately 35 other boroughs in and around South London and we appointed a leading planning and property firm to undertake a research report on our behalf. After all that came back with no options we realised we needed to look elsewhere. The Milton Keynes opportunity came along and we felt it appropriate to pursue it. Chair: You spent 12 years without a ground. How far a field were you prepared to go out of London? Charles Koppel: I’ve only been at the club for three years so I can’t speak for the previous nine, but it was a big issue for the club.
