(Tel: 01263 712244). 3 CHAIRMAN’S NOTES I was very pleased to be voted in as Chairman at last December’s AGM. The vote was I think unanimous – in that 17 votes were cast from a membership of some 3500, there were no abstentions and none against. Long live democracy! Having taken on the job I want to be energetic, and do my best to retire in 2005 with a Club that has continued to grow and is lively in pursuing the interests of its members. I need a lot of help to achieve this. Most of you will by now have received the pro forma that was included with the splendid May School Newsletter, in which I asked if you would give us your e-mail addresses. Many have replied – thank you - but if you haven’t responded please do so now, even if by e-mail to my address below. We can then cheaply keep in touch with everyone. All the major staff changes at School mentioned by my predecessor Iain Mawson have now taken place or are at least declared. Antony Clark has enjoyed a very successful first year as Headmaster of the Senior School; he and his family quickly settled into the community. Tony and Helen Cuff have retired amidst well-earned adulation from the Prep School and his successor James Quick and family are in harness – we wish them all good luck. Janette Davidson has made a great impression in the Pre Prep School and numbers continue to rise encouragingly. Roger Betts, the Bursar after many years of successfully guiding our finances through good and bad times is to retire in December, and we offer good wishes to him and his successor Bruno Delacave who was appointed from a very strong field. You may have read in the press that our President, John Tusa, has been awarded a Knighthood in the July Honours list. We offer him our congratulations and thank him for being our distinguished leader for the last three years. The Committee should be able to announce his successor at the AGM on Saturday 6 December. Please come to this and to the Drinks Party in Big School afterwards. Do study the enclosed Calendar of Events which seems to become ever more full as time goes by: the credit for this largely lies with our School Co-ordinator, John Rayner, and again we should like to express our thanks for that and for all the hard work he puts into this very rich and increasingly detailed OG Magazine. Do remember to keep in touch – he deserves your help; send us your news and indeed that of other OGs whom you know to the addresses below. 2005 marks the 450 th anniversary of our foundation. We should mark the occasion well so please keep Saturday 28/05/05 free for OG celebrations. In the meantime do put forward ideas for the format of that day to any member of the Committee – remember we are here to receive suggestions and look after the wishes of as many as we can. May I remind you that an excellent Christmas present might be Steve Benson’s “I Will Plant Me a Tree” - £32.50, payable to Gresham’s School from the Bursar’s Secretary at School (only £28 if collected from the School). There are still some copies left. With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Dick Copas (Staff 1963 – 2001).

I. H. Mawson (Chairman), R.N.K. Copas, A Clark (Headmaster), J.S. Rayner, P Whitbread, B. Neville, A Mallett, P Corran, S. Hinde, R Maxwell, J. Morgan, J. Blackburn, P. Peal, M. Gathercole, H. Jones, M.Goff, A. Payne. Before the formal meeting commenced the Chairman reported with great regret the death of Mac Leckie just a few days before. He was a previous Chairman of the Club who had died at a tragically early age. Henry Jones then spoke very movingly about Mac whom he had known for 40 years. He paid particular tribute to the many ways in which Mac had helped the School. He had clearly loved it dearly. The Committee then stood for a minute’s silence. After that sombre start to the meeting the Chairman on behalf of the O.G. Club welcomed the Headmaster, Antony Clark, to the AGM and explained that in the dealings the Club had had with the Headmaster already it was clear he was a great supporter of the O.G. Club and the Club looked forward to having a happy relationship with the Headmaster in the years to come. 1. Apologies for absence : Fiona Gathercole, Alistair Cargill, Thomas Cowper-Johnson, Frank King, Major-General Joe Crowdy, Jim Hutchence, Nick Green, John Ramuz, Alice Martin. 2. Minutes of the previous AGM : These were approved and there were no questions arising. 3. Chairman’s Report : Iain Mawson spoke about 3½ years of chairmanship and said that it had been a very exciting time and that he felt a number of excellent innovations had been put in place. He paid particular thanks to John Rayner as Club Co-ordinator who had achieved so much for the Club and also expressed thanks to David Horsley for the work he had done on the O.G. Website which had proved such a success. He reviewed some of the excellent events that had taken place in the previous 3½ years and paid thanks to the Officers of the Club and the Committee for all their hard work. He also paid particular thanks to Peter Corran for all the work that he had done in respect of the O.G. Address Book. 4.

Secretary – Adney Payne, Vice-Chairman and Treasurer – Michael Goff, and Staff Representative – David Horsley, all proposed by Dick Copas and seconded by Henry Jones.

Foreword Art and design education are part of a comprehensive Pre-K-12 education for all students. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction continues its efforts to support the skill and knowledge development for our students across the state in all content areas. This guide is meant to support this work as well as foster additional reflection on the instructional framework that will most effectively support students’ learning in art and design through creative practices. This document represents a new direction for art education, identifying a more in-depth review of art and design education. The most substantial change involves the definition of art and design education as the study of visual thinking – including design, visual communications, visual culture, and fine/studio art. The guide provides local, statewide, and national examples in each of these areas to the reader. The overall framework offered suggests practice beyond traditional modes and instead promotes a more constructivist approach to learning.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ilBSTRAGT The Cromer Moraine forms a distinctive geographical region near the coast of the northern part of the County of Norfolk. A pro­ nounced characteristic of this region is the vridespread cover of heatb-land, far less extensive than in former times. This heathland appears in its turn to have developed from an original woodland cover which was destroyed by the depredations of man and his domesticated animals . It has been necessary first to delimit the region as accurately as possible and this has been accomplished by means of a detailed study of local topography and of well-sections. The earliest evidence of the location of heathland comes from tlie Domesday Survey and this has been confirmed by references to heathland in various other documents dovm to 1750. By the middle of the eighteenth century the new developments in agriculture^ or ’Norfolk Husbandry’ as it was called, became widely known and practised, resulting in this region in a greatly accelerated reclama­ tion of heathland; so that by the time of the Tithe Survey (183S-42) less than a hundred years later over 4000 acres of heath had been reclaimed.

  • The Telegraph Sir James Dyson: 'So If We Leave the EU No One Will Trade with Us? Cobblers...'
    The Telegraph Sir James Dyson: 'So if we leave the EU no one will trade with us? Cobblers...' Sir James Dyson: 'We’re not allowed to employ immigrants unless they’re from the EU' CREDIT: CHRISTOPHER PLEDGER FOR THE TELEGRAPH By Allison Pearson 10 JUNE 2016 • 7:28PM In a top-secret, padded room at the Dyson research and development facility in Wiltshire, there are several microphone stands at different heights. They could be waiting for the Jackson Five to show up and sing Rockin’ Robin. But, no: this is a semi-anechoic chamber where new products are tested. It was here that engineers refined the tiny motor that lives inside the handle of Dyson’s new Supersonic hair dryer, launched in Selfridges this week. The motor impeller was making what its inventor calls “a dreadful racket” until they figured out that if you put 13 blades on it instead of the usual 11, one tone in the motor would be pushed above the audible range for humans. Basically, what I hold in my hand is the first blow-drying tool that doesn’t make your arm ache until it’s about to drop off and can only be heard by Labradors. It took 103 engineers, four years and £71 million to produce and I want one right this minute, even though it retails at a hair-raising £299. Unfortunately, letting one drop accidentally into my bag is not an option as we’re in a high-security zone. I am asked to initial a statement that I will not disclose anything I have seen.

  • Our Guide to Britain's EU Referendum
    JUNE 2016 The Brexit briefs Our guide to Britain’s EU referendum THE BREXIT BRIEFS ON JUNE 23rd Britain will hold a referendum on whether to remain in or leave the European Union. This will be the country’s most important vote in at least half a century. Alas, the debate has often been neither informative nor enlightening. The Economist is not neutral: we are convinced that a decision to leave (a so-called Brexit) would be bad for Britain, Europe and the world. But we also believe in the importance of objective analysis and reasoned argument. Over the past few months we have published a series of factual briefs that examine the main issues around Brexit. To help interested readers, we have now assembled all our Brexit briefs together. Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-chief CONTENTS 1. March 5th 2016 7. April 16th 2016 13.
