Presidents Letter AUTUMN NEWSLETTER Presidents Letter Dear Friends, You will all have your programmes prepared for the coming season of Branch Meetings, some will have already had meetings by the time you read this letter. I hope your batteries are recharged after such a glorious summer and we are still enjoying some lovely days. This year we think about all the men and women who were involved in the 1st World War one hundred years ago and what sacrifice they gave for our freedom today. There are still many conflicts around the world today and we pray that God will give the leaders of these countries wisdom to realise there are no winners in war only innocent people suffering through no fault of their own. We see just dreadful pictures on our television screens which seem unbelievable that one human being can inflict on another. Please remember all these people in your prayers particular the women and children. We were delighted to celebrate our Founders Day Service at St Matthew`s and Commission our new Chaplain Nigel Cretney. The tent at the Agricultural Show was well used by young Mums and Dads. Our work continues in the Prison with the Crèche and Craft Afternoons and I was privileged to be at the Family Day at the Prison in August wonderful to see children having fun with their parents. I have just returned from a visit to Cashel Ferns and Ossory read a lesson at their Festival Service on the Sunday, now there’s a thought members…. Festival on a Sunday!. I will be going to the Provincial Presidents conference in early October. Looking forward to seeing lots of you at the Quiet Day in October and the Advent Service in December. With the help of Caroline Salmon who was our Development Worker we are taking part in the One World Charity Challenge in October, the project we are promoting is a Literacy & Financial Educational Programme in Burundi. We are going to raise awareness on the Island of The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence from 25th November until 10th December look out for more details. Enjoy your meetings and hope it is a time of making new friends, fellowship and prayer. I leave you with these words The Lord is with you in your working and your resting, in your laughing and crying, in your travelling and our staying, he abides with us each and every day and night. God bless you all and much love. Pat. P.S. I know it’s a little late but thank you all for all your cards and prayers when my brother David passed away it meant so much to all the family.

Believe me, no one was more shocked than me when I was asked to be your Chaplain—my first reaction was who, me! That said, I was delighted to accept and my commissioning by Bishop Robert during the Founders Day Service in August at St. Matthews, Douglas was a truly lovely occasion. No one can fail to be inspired at the sight of your banners being so proudly paraded and it gave me the opportunity to meet so many of you. But you’re probably still thinking who? Well, proud to be Manx I was a ‘Coronation Baby’ and grew up in Onchan. My earliest memories of church was attending the local Methodist Sunday School. Their superintendent was a neighbour of ours and in those days when she knocked on our door each Sunday morning and then again in the afternoon I soon learnt you didn’t say no to a lady in a broad brimmed hat, gloves and clutching a handbag—a lesson I’ve never forgotten. Actually I soon learnt she was great fun and I couldn’t wait for that knock on the door! On leaving school I trained as a manager with one of the then UK’s largest retailers— Woolworths—before returning to the island to join the Civil Service, a career brought prematurely to an end following a stroke—not that you would know it now. Married to Jane (your Diocesan Secretary) on Tynwald Day in 1980—I can’t forget our anniversary can I—we have lived in Union Mills all our blissful married life. The secret of a perfect marriage is simple, its just two words—’Yes Dear’! something I learnt very early on. A keen walker with an enduring passion for horses, I love to take in the breath-taking scenery of our beautiful Island. An avid reader, I would be lost without my Kindle today, I also love music especially the violin, piano and the harp and of course organ music—but, I must warn you I love singing hymns but I’m no singer. You have been warned! My ministry as a Licensed Reader began in Onchan where Canon Dennis Baggaley had been a huge influence in nurturing my eventual vocation, and in Canon Malcolm Convery I could have had no better role model. For nearly three years I have as the Bishop’s Missioner been based at Christ Church Dhoon which as a parish church is now part of the parish of Maughold and South Ramsey. I’ve come to love both the people and the church, and which together with its quaint ‘arts & crafts’ style hall has much to offer the community. What do I bring to the Mothers’ Union. No, I’m nothing special just ordinary, although Bishop Noel Jones always said that was my biggest attribute, but what I do have is a profound respect for the work of the Mothers’ Union, so often the unsung heroes of the Church and I will do all I can to help promote this marvellous institution.

  • Manx Heritage Foundation Oral History Project
    Manx Heritage Foundation Oral History Project Mr Clifford Irving talking with Mr David C Doyle 1997 Mr Doyle: Mr Irving, you were born in Peel on the 24th day of May 1914 and today we are going to try and cover the years 1914-1926 but before we get to the birth could you tell us something about your parents, please? Mr Irving: Yes, like many other young people at that period my father Willie Irving, as he was known in Peel, emigrated to South Africa with his friend George Moore, later of the Raggatt, near Peel, and Member of the Keys for Peel. My mother, a Miss Cottier, joined my father in South Africa where they were married near Kimberley. In fact I was conceived in South Africa. My parents returned to Peel where I was born in my grandfather’s house. My grandfather was Edward Cottier, the draper, and during all my life in Peel I always lived with my grandparents. My parents lived nearby and I probably spent as much time in their house as with my grandparents. It was a very happy situation and especially after my mother died when I was six years old my grandparents were still very anxious that I should stay and live in their house. I had a brother, Frank, who unfortunately died in the past few years. So, between my grandparents and my parents it was a very happy situation. We all got on very well indeed. Mr Doyle: Can you recall your earliest memories of being brought up in Peel, in the west of the Island? Mr Irving: Oh dear, oh dear.

  • Legislative Council 25 June 2013 Tribute to Dr Edgar Mann, Former Tynwald Member the President: Hon. Members, You Will Be Aware
    Tribute to Dr Edgar Mann, former Tynwald Member The President: Hon. Members, you will be aware that the death of our former colleague, Dr Edgar Mann, occurred a few days ago. Dr Mann served in both the House of Keys and the Legislative Council for some 23 years. From his position as a GP in Laxey, he first entered public service as a Commissioner in the village before standing successfully for the House of Keys in 1976. In his early years, displaying a sharp intellect and an analytical mind, he rapidly earned the confidence of his peers and moved into leading roles in Tynwald, becoming Chairman of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Finance Board. It was as Chairman of the latter Board that he made what I consider was a crucial contribution to the fortunes of this Island when dealing with the crisis of the SIB collapse. The Finance Board, under his leadership, set about establishing the Financial Supervision Commission. He became its first Chairman in 1983, thus setting in place the beginnings of the regulatory regime to restore the Island’s credibility and set down the foundations which led to the growth of the finance sector, which is and has been such an important part of our economy. Elected first from the other place to this Council in 1985, it was as a Council Member that he led the Government in 1985 and 1986 as Chairman of Executive Council, the cabinet of the day. With ministerial Government due to commence after the Election of 1986, he determined to resign from Council and seek a mandate from the people with a view to continuing his leadership.

    7. LEAVE TO INTRODUCE 7.1. A Bill to restate abortion law – Leave to introduce granted The Hon. Member for Ramsey (Dr Allinson) to move: That leave be given to introduce a Private Member’s Bill to restate, with amendments, the law relating to abortion; and for connected purposes. The Speaker: We turn to Item 7 on our Order Paper, Leave to Introduce. I call on the Hon. Member for Ramsey, Dr Allinson, to move. Dr Allinson: Thank you, Mr Speaker. Dear Hon. Members, 2017 marks 50 years since David Steel brought in legislation which legalised abortion in the UK. It was not until 1995, now 22 years ago, that this Parliament addressed the issue with its own Termination of Pregnancy Act. Since then many things have changed, especially society’s attitudes and expectations. Now is the time for us to bring our legislation up to date and ensure it provides protection and healthcare for the women of this Island. Our laws regarding abortion still rely on the Criminal Code of 1872. Section 71 makes it an offence for a woman to procure her own miscarriage and makes it unlawful for anyone to assist her. The subsequent section 72 makes procuring drugs to induce an abortion a crime with a maximum penalty of eight years’ imprisonment. 1872 saw Ulysses S. Grant become US President after commanding the Union army of Abraham Lincoln in the American Civil War; the Mary Celeste was found mysteriously abandoned in the Atlantic Ocean; and the Jesse James gang was still robbing banks in Kentucky. Over 220 individual sections of this Code have been repealed or amended in the intervening years, but the sections on abortion still stand.
