This is also a tribute to his dedication to the service of the hungry poor. I am honoured and very excited by the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. I am determined to continue building what I regard as not simply the largest, but the finest humanitarian organisation in the world – one that knows its mission and delivers on its promises. Nothing can stand between WFP and the hungry. Josette Sheeran WFP Executive Director Preface by the Former Executive Director WFP, 2006 was a year of For consolidation, with considerable investment in addressing lessons from past crises, including strengthening operational procedures and mainstreaming initiatives in capacity building. At the same time, the organisation maintained full engagement in emerging and ongoing crises and provided four million metric tons of food to 88 million of the world’s hungriest people, a slight decrease from 2005. WFP’s ability to respond rapidly and effectively was significantly enhanced in 2006 by establishing additional humanitarian response depots, dedicated structures to support emergency response, and an increased number and diversity of partners. This investment paid off last July when the Lebanon conflict erupted and the entire country came under heavy shelling and an economic blockade. A WFP Headquarters in Rome.

  • Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury Was a Prolific Wicket
    Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury was a prolific wicket-taker in county cricket but struggled in his day job in Tests, taking only 20 wickets at large expense. Wisden claimed the leg-spinner’s googly could be picked because of a higher arm action, which negated the threat he posed. Keith Medlycott, his Surrey coach, felt Salisbury was under-bowled and had his confidence diminished by frequent criticism from people who had little understanding of a leggie’s travails. Yet Ian was a willing performer and an excellent tourist. Salisbury’s Test career was a stop-start affair. Over more than eight years, he played in only 15 Tests. Despite these disappointments Salisbury’s determination was never in doubt. Several times as well, he showed more backbone than his supposedly superior English spin colleagues; most notably in India in early 1993. Ian Salisbury also proved to be an excellent nightwatchman, invariably making useful contributions. His Test innings as nightwatchman are shown below.

The commercial areas are doing OK but it has got tougher, there is obviously an element in business of people holding back a little until they find out more about what is going to happen and how the economy is going to run, are interest rates going to change etc. That is very important to us as an awful lot of money that is spent here is personal money and with savings rates not being what we would like them to be that is not helping. Overall we are in decent shape. We had the most phenomenal function in The Point on Saturday night for a leading family in the area, an 80th birthday party and the cabaret was Kylie Minogue and Ronan Keating. The event went absolutely brilliantly. It’s the largest private function since The Point opened. Manchester United are with us again this season so those numbers are up again. As far as cricket is concerned (not here but the way cricket is going) I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions the concern that everybody has with Test Match attendances. The Pakistan Test Match here turned out to be very good but it was a hard sell. Correspondingly the T20 that is coming up next week has had phenomenal attraction and is a sell out and should be a very good game.

  • Test Players Step up to Plate but Get Taken out at Whole New Ball Game
    Page 1 6 of 1783 DOCUMENTS The Times (London) October 6, 2008 Monday Test players step up to plate but get taken out at whole new ball game BYLINE: Josh Chetwynd SECTION: SPORT; Pg.64 LENGTH: 717 words * Trescothick's team strike out in Taunton A few years ago USA Today claimed that hitting a baseball was the hardest thing to do in sport (the newspaper listed stopping a penalty in football as the ninth hardest). Was the statement American hubris or a fair assessment? On Saturday the claim was put to the test as a team of cricketers, including Marcus Trescothick, Ashley Giles, Geraint Jones and Charl Willoughby, gave baseball a try, taking on the Great Britain team in Taunton as part of Trescothick's benefit year. Ian Chappell, the former Australia captain, who is probably the only person to represent his country in cricket and baseball, once said that the idea of a team of cricketers playing a baseball game "wouldn't be worth it". He added: "There would be no contest, absolutely no contest. Cricket's batsmen would struggle to get bat on ball, never mind hitting a home run." As a member of the Britain baseball team for ten years, I was hoping that Chappell would be proved right and that Trescothick and his crew would struggle to transform themselves from batsmen to batters and bowlers to pitchers. On paper at least, Chappell appeared to be correct in his assessment. The Britain team, who won the silver medal at the European Championships in 2007, won the game 21-1.

Apologies: R Beastall, A Bennett, G Graney, M Griffiths, D Hodgkin, L Jones, T Spence and B Wilson. Minutes of previous meeting: These had been distributed via email and on Facebook. Matters Arising: There were no matters arising. Announcements: The Secretary made the following announcements: Loss of consciousness Following the recent incident involving Hugo Loris the Tottenham Hotspur’s goalkeeper we received correspondence from Ian Mather enquiring what our policy was should a player lose consciousness in one of our matches. Our policy is simple; you advise the player to seek medical attention. We can do no other. We thought it prudent to ask the League Management committee what their view is and here is their decision. “It was agreed that within the Laws of the Game there was no requirement for any player to be removed from the field. However, Umpires working together with players and Captains should apply reason and common sense to ensure that the right thing is done, based on individual circumstances and discussions with players and Captains on the day, as has always been the case throughout the history of the League.” ACO Dinner This to be held at Trent Bridge, in the Long Room, on Friday 21st March 2014, cost £27.50 tickets available from John Hayes. BDCL Dinner To be held at South Forest Leisure, Edwinstowe on Saturday 22nd March 2014, cost £25.00 tickets available from Richard Martin.

  • NEWSLETTER No. 265 - SEPTEMBER 2006
    NEWSLETTER No. 265 - SEPTEMBER 2006 27 September 2006 – Meeting In time honoured fashion, the Society extends a very warm welcome to the Hampshire Beneficiary at their September meeting. TONY MIDDLETON has been with the County for some 20 years, first as a player and then in various coaching roles. He is now the County’s Academy Director. His well produced Benefit Brochure gives an informed account of his career and his contribution to Hampshire cricket since his retirement as a player. The publication gives a reminder that he is Hampshire-born, in Winchester on 1 February 1964, and that he progressed through the Hampshire schools and colts system, before making his debut in 1984. However, it was not until Chris Smith’s sudden departure in 1991, that he forged a regular first-team place. Such was the strength of Hampshire’s batting at the time – perhaps the best in their history – that in the previous year, he scored a century on four occasions, as well as a 90, only to be left out when one of Hampshire’s stellar cast returned to the side. He did, though, record a thousand runs. However, Tony Middleton cemented his place by dampening the fires of Waqar Younis in the Nat. West Trophy triumph at Lord’s with a well constructed 75, keeping Hampshire in touch with the run rate as they chased Surrey’s total. In the following year, in bowler-friendly conditions in the Benson and Hedges Final, he and Paul Terry stole runs from under the noses of Kent’s fielders to establish a momentum which was then enhanced by the later stroke players.
