    February 2019 Volume 9, Issue 1

    February 2019 Volume 9, Issue 1 Chairman’s Message One of the difficulties which beset our volunteer Editor, Dilys, is always the late arrival of the Chairman’s Message. My excuse on this occasion was that the dire weather forecast had led me to spend time making soup to see me through the possible period of incarceration. To be honest I don’t expect it to be that bad. East Kent winters are not what they were, thank goodness. The Lyminge Historical, of which I was a founder member in 1971, decided in 1984 no longer to meet in January and February, as so many meetings were being cancelled because of snow and ice. Nowadays, if there is any harsh weather, it tends to come as a sting in the tail, and it’s the March meeting that is in danger. Here at the EHS, we had a very interesting meeting in January with Nicholas Reed talking about the local work of Turner and Constable (and Fred Cuming). Gaye Giutini’s talk on 22 February about the career of her father Terry Ashwood promises to give us interesting sidelights on momentous events from WW2 onwards, when he worked as a journalist and Pathe News cameraman. Because we grabbed the opportunity to hear Gaye in February, my own talk on Elham Women, 1217- 1914 has been postponed - another whole year to speculate on why 1217! DMB AGM - 12th April As usual, we will be looking back over the last year’s visits and talks, as well as announcing the full programme of events for 2019/20.

When the Exiles were formed in June 1971, the first newsletter was three type-written pages of A4 sent to members in August of that year. Nigel Dean has reviewed all the issues and the bulk of this 100th issue is given over to Nigel’s wonderful, evocative synthesis of highlights from numbers one to ninety-nine. Ron Lev has cast his mind back to the early days of the Exiles and Outside-edge to tell us of the many characters involved in producing our much-loved publication. Our former Editors, Mark Brunt and Howard Allen, reflect on their involvement and Chris Bell adds his appreciation. Roger Gibbons has written another of his wonderful articles, this time bringing to our attention the splendid GCCC Museum and Learning Centre. Ruth Sharville has produced an ingenious ditty for our amusement and, as ever, Tony Hickey has delivered some of his remarkable photographs to enliven this issue.

  • Tour Match #11 – Australia Over 70S Versus Kent

    Tour match #11 – Australia Over 70s versus Kent Wednesday 22 August 2018 KENT Some background Located in the country’s southeast, Kent is popularly known as the Garden of England. Steeped in British history, it is the location of 26 castles and Canterbury Cathedral, the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the Church of England. Kent is also famous for the white cliffs of Dover on the shores of the English Channel, the backdrop for the aerial Battle of Britain during World War Two. Fittingly the Kent County Cricket Club’s limited overs team is known at the Kent Spitfires. The club has produced many legendary cricketers, among them Frank Woolley, Colin Cowdrey and wicketkeepers Les Ames, Godfrey Evans and Alan Knott. Today Kent’s economy is quite diverse ranging from haulage, logistics, tourism, aggregate building materials, printing and scientific research. Host club for the Australian Over 70s match against Kent was The Mote Cricket Club at Maidstone. Now a secondary ground of the Kent County Cricket Club, it has nevertheless been the venue for 218 first-class matches since 1859, including one in 1973 when Kent’s most famous cricketer Colin Cowdrey scored his 100th first-class century. The ground has two pavilions, one of which is known as “The Tabernacle”, in reference to a private cricket club established there in 1910 by Marcus Samuel, who later became the first Lord Bearsted (1853-1927). One of the richest men in England Samuel started and owned the Shell Oil Company. So powerful was Samuel that “The Tabernacle” became his own changing room, while other players had to settle for the pavilion next door.
