Facebook: Official Leinster Supporters Club Twitter: OLSCRugby Message from the coach Dear Leinster Supporter, On behalf of the squad and management I would like to thank you for the incredible backing you have given the team across Europe this season. Leinster have enjoyed some memorable games in the Heineken Cup over the last few years and we are looking forward to facing Saracens in Wembley Stadium in what will be a real test for the squad. In the Heineken Cup you can’t relent for one moment and we know that we have to build this week and over the coming rounds against ASM Clermont Auvergne, Saracens, and Racing Metro 92. It is a tough group, but we have every confidence in the quality of our squad. We will approach this game in a positive fashion, as we have done all of our games both in the RDS and away from home, and I know that you can be our 16th man in the stands in Wembley this weekend. All of the players will do their utmost to represent the blue jersey with pride. Travel safely and enjoy the game. JOE SCHMIDT Leinster Coach Message from the OLSC committee Once again we find ourselves heading to play a Heineken Cup fixture in a large London stadium. Playing in large venues in large cities offers somewhat of a challenge to away supporters as organising ourselves is that bit harder. The OLSC committee has received confirmation from Saracens that our standard issue RDS flags will be allowed in the venue so please bring one along if you can as they really make the blue visible in the stadium. Those travelling with hand luggage only should also be able to bring one on board as we have previously cleared them with Dublin Airport security. Wear your bluest jerseys and hats, bring your flags and bodhráns and be prepared to give it socks for a solid 80 minutes. We have seen the effect this can have in away ties before and hopefully will again. We must embody that spirit and know, that like the players, we left nothing behind. Hopefully we will see you in around Wembley after the game. C’MON LEINSTER! OLSC committee Bank of Ireland is regulated by the Financial Regulator.

  • Kings Cross to Liverpool Street Via 13 Stations Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Kings Cross to Liverpool Street via 13 stations walk All London’s railway terminals, the three royal parks, the River Thames and the City Length 21.3km (13.3 miles) for the whole walk, but it is easily split into smaller sections: see Walk Options below Toughness 1 out of 10 - entirely flat, but entirely on hard surfaces: definitely a walk to wear cushioned trainers and not boots. Features This walk links (and in many cases passes through) all thirteen London railway terminals, and tells you something of their history along the way. But its attractions are not just limited to railway architecture. It also passes through the three main Central London parks - Regent’s Park, Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens and St James's Parks - and along the Thames into and through the City of London*. It takes in a surprising number of famous sights and a number of characteristic residential and business areas: in fact, if you are first time visitor to London, it is as good an introduction as any to what the city has to offer. Despite being a city centre walk, it spends very little of its time on busy roads, and has many idyllic spots in which to sit or take refreshment. In the summer months you can even have an open air swim midway through the walk in Hyde Park's Serpentine Lido. (* The oldest part of London, now the financial district. Whenever the City, with a capital letter, is used in this document, it has this meaning.) Walk Being in Central London, you can of course start or finish the walk wherever Options you like, especially at the main railway stations that are its principal feature.

  • 1 Draft Paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança
    Draft paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança-Portugal University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Portugal [email protected] Power, cosmopolitanism and socio-spatial division in the commercial arena in Victorian and Edwardian London The developments of the English Revolution and of the British Empire expedited commerce and transformed the social and cultural status quo of Britain and the world. More specifically in London, the metropolis of the country, in the eighteenth century, there was already a sheer number of retail shops that would set forth an urban world of commerce and consumerism. Magnificent and wide-ranging shops served householders with commodities that mesmerized consumers, giving way to new traditions within the commercial and social fabric of London. Therefore, going shopping during the Victorian Age became mandatory in the middle and upper classes‟ social agendas. Harrods Department store opens in 1864, adding new elements to retailing by providing a sole space with a myriad of different commodities. In 1909, Gordon Selfridge opens Selfridges, transforming the concept of urban commerce by imposing a more cosmopolitan outlook in the commercial arena. Within this context, I intend to focus primarily on two of the largest department stores, Harrods and Selfridges, drawing attention to the way these two spaces were perceived when they first opened to the public and the effect they had in the city of London and in its people. I shall discuss how these department stores rendered space for social inclusion and exclusion, gender and race under the spell of the Victorian ethos, national conservatism and imperialism.
