Newsletter 2020-02 Newsletter Issue No. 93 February 2020 In January our speaker was Chris Vaspar who came to tell us of his experiences of the Marathon des Sables, a gruelling six-day ultra-marathon in the Moroccan Sahara desert in six stages, said to be the toughest foot race in the world. Runners have to be self-sufficient, carrying with them all food and equipment for one week. Water is rationed at 14 litres a day and if you exceed the ration, you get a time penalty. In just six days competitors run over 156 miles through endless dunes, over steep and rocky jebels, and across white-hot salt plains. Each stage must be completed in the time allowed, the fourth stage is two consecutive marathons in 35 hours.The exceptional fifth stage is 52 miles and is run all day and overnight, the final sixth stage is a mere marathon run! A camel train follows the runners with the overnight tented accommodation and if the camels catch up with you - you are out of the race! Former soldier Chris explained that he was looking for a challenge during a quiet time in his life and with a like-minded friend decided to attempt the 2016 event raising money for the forces charity Walking With The Wounded, which helps injured former British Armed Forces servicemen and women transition into civilian life. Once completed he immediately signed up for the 2018 event. Prior to this Chris had no experience of long-distance running, so extensive training was imperative, increasing his running and walking to 80-90 miles a week, gaining heat acclimatisation in a sauna (in full kit) after treadmill exercise, and especially two sessions at Loughborough University’s Ergonomic Training Facility, treadmill running at 40 degrees and 10% humidity. He also trained in Lanzarote which partially replicates the Saharan terrain. Chris’s talk had a wealth of information about the kit and provisions that one was required to carry (including a spot tracker which allows rescue if lost and lets family & supporters across the world see exactly where you are). He showed several video clips (available on YouTube) which vividly illustrated the rigours of the race and also the rugged beauty of the surroundings, especially during the overnight stage. This was a fascinating talk which earned Chris a warm ovation from our very appreciative audience. Nick Clark An opportunity for new members, and anyone wishing to find out more about the U3A, to meet and have a chat to some committee members and group conveners in a smaller less formal setting than the monthly meeting. Tea or Coffee is for sale and the meeting will take place at the Willowbrook Pub at 10:45 - 11:45 am Thursday 27th February Susan Morley 07960 461942 The http://u3asites.org.uk/carlton-gedling/home Page 1 Newsletter General Meetings Thursday 20th February 10:30 - Steve Allen - “My Musical History Show” A trip through the 19th Century and the Industrial Revolution in words, pictures and folk song. Thursday 19th March 10:30 - Paul Stafford - “Visit to North Korea” Of all the countries Paul has visited, North Korea was the most unusual, bizarre and astonishing. He shares what he learnt from the visit with stories, experiences and humour. Could all our members please note that if the weather and driving conditions were bad on the day of a General Meeting, there is a possibility that Richard Herrod, or your U3A Committee, could decide to cancel the meeting. If that happened we would post a very obvious notice on the Carlton & Gedling U3A website and we would also email all our members, so please check those before setting out from home If you do not have an email address, you may ring our U3A number 0778 742 7200 and speak to a member of the committee. The University of Leicester would like to invite U3A members to a free evening of neuroscience talks and demonstrations on Wednesday, 18th March 2020.

Along with presentations there will be live demonstrations on many aspects of neuroscience research, including vision, taste, attention and movement, and the opportunity to meet junior and senior researchers. 5.30pm Doors open 6.00pm Talks: Dr Eleanor Swan - Visual attention declines in older drivers – the impact on hazard detection Dr Ben Warren - Lend me your Locust Ears 7.00pm Demonstrations, posters and refreshments This event will be held in the George Davies Centre on Lancaster Road and doors open at 5.30pm. If interested please email Pat Downing The Page 2 Newsletter A group called Schoolreaders are recruiting volunteers in our county to go into primary schools to listen to children reading. Apparently there is high demand for volunteers and they have asked if they are any U3A members who would be interested in doing this. If you are, please email Pat Downing in the first instance. The Newsletter is published by The Carlton, Gedling & District U3A. (Reg. Charity No. 1157211) Trips and Visits If you enjoyed the TV series “Gentleman Jack” you might be particularly interested in visiting Shibden Hall, the Tudor house where Ann Lister lived and where some of the series was filmed. The house is set in beautiful parkland in a valley in West Yorkshire near Halifax. A tour of the Hall is included before we leave for a 10 minute drive to the unique Piece Hall. This is a huge Grade1-listed structure resembling a grand Italianate piazza. Built in 1779 to house cloth merchants’ premises, the quadrangle of tiered buildings surround a large outdoor square. It is now a fascinating mix of shops, galleries, cafes and bars, with an informative Welcome Centre and2 Story Room. The site at Shibden Park is hilly and there are no lifts in the Hall. On arrival, visitors need to climb 22 steps (which are not particularly steep) to access the Hall or there is a land train at the bottom of the hill, which costa an extra £2. The visit clashes with May’s U3a General Meeting, but this was the only date available owing to visitor demand and TV filming will be taking place again in June and July. Cost £18 including entrance to Shibden Hall. Leave Richard Herrod Centre 8.30 am, leave Halifax c 4pm, return RHC c. 6pm. Tickets will be on sale at February’s meeting. Maggie Doherty & Janet Whitchurch STRATFORD UPON AVON WED 25th MARCH 2020 Birth place of William Shakespeare. Leaving from Richard Herrod at 8.30am and departing from Stratford at 4pm approx. £15. A few tickets available at the January meeting. Please collect tickets already reserved The Page 3 Newsletter New this month, we have nine (YES NINE) new theatre trips. First up is The Theatre visits Flying Dutchman opera by Wagner. François Girard unveils a spellbinding new vision of the composer's tale of a cursed sea captain doomed to sail the open ocean for eternity. With sweeping sets by John Macfarlane, Girard’s new production turns the Met stage into a rich, layered tableau reminiscent of a vast oil painting. Valery Gergiev conducts a brilliant cast led by bass-baritone Evgeny Nikitin as the Dutchman, with German soprano Anja Kampe making her anticipated Met debut as the devoted Senta, whose selfless love is what the Dutchman seeks. In May, we shall be going to see Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda. Donizetti’s operas are incredibly tuneful and we have already enjoyed his delicious comedy La Fille du Regiment. This is drama, focused on the political and personal rivalry between two queens. It returns to the Met with Diana Damrau as the doomed Mary, Queen of Scots, and Jamie Barton as her rival, Queen Elizabeth I. Three hours long, this is a delicious period production with frocks galore. The National Theatre broadcast of The Welkin is about one woman’s life in the hands of 12 other women. Rural Suffolk in England, 1759. As the country waits for Halley’s comet, a young woman is sentenced to hang for a heinous murder. When she claims to be pregnant, a jury of 12 matrons are taken from their housework to decide whether she’s telling the truth, or simply trying to escape the noose. With only midwife Lizzy Luke prepared to defend the girl, and a mob baying for blood outside, the matrons wrestle with their new authority, and the devil in their midst. Handbagged is based on the imagined meetings between the Queen and Margaret Thatcher. One believed there was no such thing as societyEnemy and theof theother People had vowed to serve it. Moira Buffini’s sparkling and insightful piece cleverly explores the nature of history – and what might have gone on behind closed doors at the weekly meetings between the Queen and Mrs Thatcher. The story of Britain in the 1980s, and its changing role in the world, unfolds through the relationship between these two formidable stateswomen – two very different characters. The result is funny and fast-moving, taking in snapshots of the historical highlights of the time, and shifting effortlessly from high comedy to occasional moments of tragedy. And yes it’s the Classic Thriller season 2020 at the Theatre Royal.

  • Newsletter 2020-03
    Newsletter Issue No. 94 March 2020 At the February general meeting our Guest Speaker entertainment was supplied by Steve Allen, who summoned up his alter ego Eli, born 1837 in the Black Country, to lead us through his personal view of the changes in Britain during the Industrial Revolution of the 19th Century. These were illustrated with pictures and songs, some of which the audience were invited to join in. Along the way we heard about the introduction of the factory system at water powered cotton mills in Derbyshire and how the invention of the rotative steam engine led to the industrialisation of the Midlands (cue “Dirty Old Town”). The poor living conditions and the use of child labour in the new industrial towns was touched on although this helped Britain gain 50%of the world textile trade. World trade was a reason for the importance of merchant shipping and the need for fast clippers like the Cutty Sark to quickly transport high value goods (cue “Drunken Sailor). Transport was revolutionised, firstly by the construction of the canal system and latterly by the coming of the railways, both achieved with the hard work of the hard-drinking Navvies. Eli’s discursive talk also mentioned the end of the Napoleonic wars (cue “Over the Hills”) and the Crimean war, especially the revolutionary work of Florence Nightingale (cue “Auntie Maggies Remedy”) Eli kept us all entertained with his tales and songs until we sang a last song together (“So long It’s been good to know you”) after which he handed back to Steve with enthusiastic applause from the audience.

As we write, our production of Twelfth Night is touring, free for all, to nineteen Chicago neighborhoods; rehearsals have just begun for Part Two of Barbara’s epic history cycle, Tug of War; and today, our yearlong international festival—Shakespeare 400 Chicago—welcomes the incomparable Jonathan Pryce as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice from Shakespeare’s Globe. We are excited to continue our relationship with this renowed theater, where Barbara has long served on The Globe Council. The Merchant of Venice marks the third time a Globe production has toured to CST’s stages, beginning in 2003 with its “original practices” production of Twelfth Night, starring Academy Award-winner Mark Rylance as Olivia, and again in 2014 with its ambitious world-circling tour of Hamlet, presented in 197 countries. In 2014, CST’s World’s Stage series welcomed Kneehigh’s production of Tristan and Yseult directed by Emma Rice, now the Globe’s artistic director. The sole North American theater invited to participate in the 2012 Cultural Olympiad “Globe to Globe” festival, CST debuted on the Globe’s stage with its production of Othello: The Remix, created with the Q Brothers.

  • LOUISE KIRKBY LUNN [C] 3044
    VOCAL 78 rpm DISCS EDWARD LLOYD [t]. London, 1845-Worthing, 1927. Lloyd was the major British concert and oratorio tenor of the last quarter of the 19th century. He began as a chorister at Westminster Abbey and was subsequently engaged for St. Andrews and then the Chapel Royal. His solo career began in 1871, singing the tenor solo in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion at the Gloucester Festival. He received much acclaim through his singing of this work, as well as in oratorios of Händel, Mendelssohn, and other com- posers, notably Elgar. He was a particular favorite of Elgar and created the tenor solos in that composer’s Caractacus (1898) and The Dream of Gerontius (the year of his farewell, 1900). While he was no longer EDWARD LLOYD, pianist Mme. Adami and unidentified cellist heard regularly on the stage, Lloyd made a recording, circa 1907 number of records for the Gramophone Company in London, 1902 to 1911. Lloyd’s American debut was at the Cincinnati May Festival in 1888. His colleague, baritone Charles Santley, described him physically as “a nice, plump little gentleman”. The New York Times gave a more thorough description on his arrival in 1888. He “looks and acts about as much like a good-natured New York business man as anybody else. He is of medium height, stocky in build, and rather florid of face. He has pleasant dark eyes and dark hair that is just tinged with gray and is brushed down very smooth. A neat mustache is the only hair he wears on his face.

  • Edgar Mittelholzer (1909-1965) and the Shaping of His Novels
    EDGAR MITTELHOLZER (1909-1965) AND THE SHAPING OF HIS NOVELS by JUANITA ANNE WESTMAAS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre of West African Studies School of Historical Studies University of Birmingham June 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis is a response to the critics of the pioneering novelist Edgar Mittelholzer whose second novel was instrumental in paving the way for other Caribbean novelists during the 1950s. Critics of Mittelholzer have accused him of fascism, racism, an unhealthy interest in sexually sensationalist topics and death. He has until the recent centenary of his birth been marginalised and understudied. The first chapter of this thesis outlines the areas of study that have thus far been focused on and explores the underlying methods and theoretical framework of this thesis. The second chapter focuses on the author’s background, career and contribution to the Caribbean. The third explores the genesis of Mittelholzer’s creativity with a view to revealing how intertextuality is key to an understanding of his novels.
