The past year has seen many of those necessary reforms come about. For some, these changes have been difficult, but I do believe they were essential if we were to build for the future. We had to take a long hard look at what we did and the way we did it. Since our team came into office two years ago, everything we have done has been geared at returning table tennis to a position where we could plan ahead with confidence. We have now arrived there. Earlier this year, we were delighted to learn that our main financial supporters, Sport England, decided that table tennis was ‘back on track’, removed us from the ‘special measures’ and returned us to secure funding to the end of this cycle. This means that we can prepare for the future with confidence. -
Charles Bawden
CHARLES BAWDEN Charles Roskelly Bawden 22 April 1924 – 11 August 2016 elected Fellow of the British Academy 1971; resigned 1980; re-elected 1985 by VERONIKA VEIT Charles Bawden, Emeritus Professor of Mongolian Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (in the University of London), was born in Weymouth on the south coast of England (Dorset), on 22 April 1924. Scholar—Poet—Man of His Word: in such terms may be characterised the three vocations which were to guide and form the life celebrated in this memoir. Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XVIII, 449–469 Posted 21 November 2019. © British Academy 2019. CHARLES BAWDEN The scholar Born of parents who were both school-teachers—the father at the local elementary school for boys—Charles himself describes his home as a modest one. ‘There were few books at home,’ he recalls, ‘but important among them were the pre-first world war edition of Arthur Mee’s Children’s Encyclopaedia, and the Harmsworth Encyclopedia, which between them served as my childhood library.’ In the late 1930s, however, Charles’ father bought a wireless set, which the young boy calls ‘his lifeline’: from that set he was first able to listen to spoken French and German, which later were to prove his main academic interests, and even to hear music—another of his future lifelong interests—for Weymouth itself was, in those days, ‘a cultural waste’, without even a public library available, as Charles remembers. A further step in what he describes as his, in some ways, ‘contradictory upbringing’, and which directed his interests more definitely towards what was to become his future career, might best be described in his own words: On the one hand my father, especially, was a real pioneer in some things. -
ACROSS the NET Melton Table Tennis May 2020 Edition 56
ACROSS THE NET Melton Table Tennis May 2020 Edition 56 NOT MUCH TO SAY, REALLY I spoke to a doctor last night, and she said that she was hopeful of the virus being eradicated very soon. Mind you, she’s a doctor of music, but it was nice to get some good news. In this edition, we look back over 6 years of previous editions and hope that there is a reason to write future editions. COVID-19 UPDATE Well, we are still in the grips of a lockdown. It’s tough on many of us, driving us crazy and leaving us with a feeling of hopelessness. It’s like umpiring a best-of-5 match between two defenders. You know it’s going to end sometime; you just don’t know if you can hang on until then. But hang tough, my friends. We will get through this. As you know, both of our venues are currently closed. We have had no word on when these are likely to re- open, so it’s just a waiting game. When we hear that the restrictions are going to be eased, your committee will need to meet to discuss how and when we can get back to playing. We’ll obviously keep you informed. The best you can do in the meantime is follow the medical advice given, look after each other, and stay safe. Until then, I thought I’d put together some of my favourite articles from the past 6 years of Across The Net, just to give you something to read while you wait for better times ahead. -
Nahum Mandel Testemunho De Um Sonho (Brasil, 1935-1948)
Nahum Mandel Testemunho de um sonho (Brasil, 1935-1948) 2009 239 Testemenho de um Sonho (Brasil – 1935-1948) Copyright © Nahum Mandel (2009) ISBN 978-965-90889-5-6 Todos os direitos reservados Permitido copiar até 5 linhas, citando da origem. Reprodução de textos maiores e de fotos exigem autorização do Autor. Kiburz Gaash, ISRAEL 2009 2 Dedico este livro a meus companheiros de sonho. Uns o realizaram, outros não. Entretanto, todos vivem em minha memória e no meu coração. N.M 3 Agradecimentos Graças às caprichosas revisões de meu primo Arnaldo Mandel e de meus amigos Etel Sara Wengier e Norberto Freund, o português deste livro é legível. Merecido beijo à minha esposa e companheira Shoshana, pela esmerada revisão ortográfica final. N.M. 4 Prefácio Historia é o que os historiadores escrevem. O que não está escrito na História – naõ aconteceu! (Nahum Mandel, "Autobiosophia"[1]) Martin Lutero King disse "eu tenho um sonho". Também eu fui um sonhador, e creio que ainda sou. Grande parte de meus sonhos, realizei: o relato deste livro, além de meu tesemunho pessoal, reflete a minha geração, que presenciou os dois eventos mais dramáticos da Histótia dos judeus na época moderna – o Holocausto e a declaração do Estado de Israel. Estatisticamente são raros os que se dão ao trabalho de documentar e escrever memórias do que presenciaram ao longo de suas vidas. Me incluo nesta minoria. Desde meus catorze anos, coleciono todos papeizinhos que dizem respeito a meus passos e desta maneira escrevi 6 livros, dos quais publiquei 4[2]. Este será o quinto. Este livro não é uma monografia, nem pretende ser um documento histórico-acadêmico. -
