Events

We are extremely fortunate in our Events Organiser, Bob Smith, who goes above and beyond what is asked of him to make our events very special and supremely well organised. Our St Georges Day service at the Cenotaph was, this year, the best ever and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who attended. We would be delighted to see more branch representation on that day – it is our flagship event, a chance for the public to see us at our best and learn what we stand for, and a time for us all to stand up and be counted.

In December of last year, 2017, we closed the office in Loughton and moved to working from home offices. I’d like to record my enormous thanks to Liz and Chantzi-Jade, who not only took all this in their stride, but organised it all almost single handed. The changeover was almost seamless and I know how much work was involved. The saving that this will make for the Society, which will make an enormous difference as we go through the next few years, has not reflected in this year’s accounts, as there were inevitable costs to the reorganisation.

privilege to do so, and I thank you all for your good will towards me, but it is also a great challenge to ensure that the Society observes its aims and objectives at the same time as it moves forward in the twenty-first century and finds ways to make our Society appealing to a younger generation and a much more diverse society.

Our history and traditions are not only important to us, and to our fellow countrymen, but to men and women around the world, who look to us as an example of the values of courage, manners and good old fashioned courtesy. We are delighted to have the services of a young PR company, WeAchieve, who are generously giving us pro bono advice and support as we explore our way into the future.

General Data Protection Regulations

A big challenge to us this year has been the implications of the General Data Protection Regulations, which has made us look long and hard at how we contact our members. We have used the opportunity to create a new database, which has had upfront expenses, but will make communication with our members so much more efficient in years to come. I am extremely grateful to John Oakley for all his hard work on this and for his clarity when carrying it forward. I would also like to record my thanks to Nick Dutt, my Vice Chairman, whose encouragement and support, to say nothing of his wise words, are invaluable.

125th anniversary

Next year, the Society will celebrate its 125th anniversary and we are enormously proud that we have been able to reach that milestone, and of our own history and that of our country. We will celebrate that in the usual way, with our St George’s Day service at the Cenotaph and at Westminster Abbey afterwards, our Battle of Britain lunch, which goes from strength to strength, and our Standards Service at the lovely church of St George in Hanover Square. But we also have a number of other events organised for the year, including a service at St Andrews Church in Wraysbury, where our Founder is buried; placing of a plaque under the tree that we planted on our 120th anniversary at the National Memorial Arboretum; a dinner at HQS Wellington

as possible, and to promote the Society wherever I go. It is a challenging task, in this day and in these times, to appeal to all our fellow countrymen and not to be perceived wrongly, just as it is a challenge to fly our English flag without being accused of being racist or xenophobic. But, we are people who love England, we have the English spirit, we have every right to be proud, and we will keep up the good fight.

His Excellency Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton GCB RAF (Retd)

E ARE HONOURED that Sir
WStephen has agreed to take on the role of Vice President of the Royal Society of St George.
Sir Stephen was appointed to the position of Capability Manager for Information Superiority, with defence wide responsibility for the assessment, budgetary management and delivery of defence intelligence and communications capability and in April 2004 was appointed Controller Aircraft on the Air Force Board.

Sir Stephen joined the Royal Air Force in 1976 after graduating with an Honours degree in aeronautical engineering from Bath University. During the height of the Cold War, he flew the Jaguar fighter/bomber on three tours in the tactical reconnaissance and ground attack roles. He subsequently commanded the RAF’s Jaguar Force for two years from September 1997 and was later appointed as director of the Eurofighter (Typhoon) programme assurance group in the Ministry of Defence with responsibility for ensuring that all elements of this key international defence programme resulted in a cost effective and safe introduction to service of Typhoon.
He assumed the office of Jersey’s Lieutenant Governor in early 2017. Sir Stephen is married to Anne and has two children. He lists his interests as including sports, theatre and history.

New Membership Fee Structure

At the Society’s Annual General Meeting, held in Bolton on 29 September, the new fee structure was discussed and agreed. The new membership fees will come into force on the 1st January 2019, and are as follows:
• A new branch in this country will pay £100 administration costs on setting up, an overseas branch will pay £200.

• International Branches paying an annual fee of £100 will increase to £200. This does not apply to branches whose members are all full branch members.
• All members, whether joining through a branch or joining directly, will pay the same annual Society fee of £20.00 for an individual or £30.00 for joint membership. NB: Branches may charge a small additional amount to cover their own administration costs.
• Branch only members – those who joined a branch before 2010 but are not full Society members – will pay a fee of £7.50 for a single person or £10 for joint membership. NB: this membership is not available to anyone joining a branch after 2010. After this time all branch members must also be Society members.
• There will be a joining fee for new members of £15.00. This is the same for single or joint membership, as it is purely to cover the administration costs which arise when welcoming a new member.
For other rates, please check the web site or contact the Society Administration office.

• Overseas members will pay a joining fee of £50.00 and an annual fee of £50.00.
Would all members who pay their fees by bankers order please remember to amend this to reflect the new fees.

When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.

BFI are excited to screen extracts from a previously unseen filmed interview with Dennis Potter as well as long lost single plays, Freedom in September, a Cold War era story starring a pre-Doctor Who Patrick Troughton, psychological hostage drama No Harm Done starring Coronation Street’s Helen Worth and missing sitcom pilot Porterhouse Private Eye starring Carry on... regulars Peter Butterworth and June Whitfield. As part of a BFI season of his work, the quintessential British TV dramatist Dennis Potter was interviewed by TV Critic Philip Purser for The Guardian Lecture series at the NFT (now BFI Southbank), on 30 October, 1980. When BBC editors at the time made a last minute decision not to film the event for broadcast, Potter and his producer Kenith Trodd filmed the lecture themselves with the idea of selling it to a broadcaster. Missing Believed Wiped offers an audience the first glimpse of the interview since the event almost 40 years ago. Kenith Trodd, who held the rushes in his personal archive, will introduce extracts from this revealing interview which captures a pivotal moment in Potter’s prodigious TV career.

Not surprisingly, Simpson is British, thus exemplifying the traditional national characteristics of self-deprecation and celebration of failure. The first point Simpson makes recalls one of the reasons François Truffaut gave to Alfred Hitchcock for what Truffaut notoriously saw as “a certain incompatibility between the terms ‘cinema’ and ‘Britain’ […] there are national characteristics – among them, the English countryside, the subdued way of life, the stolid routine – that are antidramatic in a sense.
