    THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a newsletter primarily for the model railway fraternity Volume 6 no 5 May 2018 Editor: David Cairns e-mail: [email protected] Website for back copies: [email protected] Phone: +27 82 653 5642 Editorial This month’s North Star Chronicles is a bit of a cheat insofar as the primary feature is the Isle of Man and the meat of the article thereon was written while I was editor of the Workbench, the newsletter of the Durban Society of Model Engineers. In my defence I cite the fact that I was away for much of April so time to draft a new NSC was limited. Be that as it may, the subject is dear to my heart. For those interested in railways, particularly steam operated narrow gauge ones, and tramlines, and who are looking for a prototype to model which runs on either 32mm or 45mm track, look no further. I highly recommend a visit to the Island. One piece of advice, do so in the British ‘summer’ and take an umbrella and raincoat. It rains a lot on the Isle of Man! The Isle of Man Located in the middle of the Irish Sea, from the top of the highest ‘mountain’ (formerly accessible by tram) on a clear day the 4 home countries of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Island are visible. The Isle of Man was originally settled by Celts and Vikings. It is difficult to find the exact words to describe the island but time capsule is certainly apt with respect to some of its transport facilities.

  • NEWSLETTER Winter 2013 Editor – Douglas Barr-Hamilton
    NEWSLETTER Winter 2013 Editor – Douglas Barr-Hamilton Melodious Mhelliah Our annual Mhelliah thanksgiving service was held on Monday 7th October at St. Bride's Church, Fleet Street. Twenty-nine members and friends attended but, greatly missed, was MC and Treasurer Sam Weller and his wife Mary who had been called away to give help to family in-laws that were unwell. But very welcome back among us was Rose Fowler and Wendy who was on holiday from work. Terence and Christine Brack had come from the Island and some familiar faces like Margaret Hunt (who had been with us on Tynwald Day), Voirry and Robin Carr from Oxford, the Moore twins, Margaret and Maureen who grew up in Peel and Maureen Lomas brought a friend from South Africa. Sam, with his usual efficiency, had sent us a tick list of duties which Alastair, Stewart and Douglas were attending to when we arrived. We were welcomed by Alastair, our President, and the service was taken by past Bishop of Sodor and Mann, the Right Reverend Graeme Knowles. He drew our attention to the bidding prayer written by Bishop Wilson (1698-1755) who was also responsible for the act of worship before the herring fleet set out for a night's fishing. He spoke of each one of us being a walking harvest festival, possessing individual gifts and talents given by God of which we are stewards and need to react to throughout our lives. Our Island heritage was also one of God's gifts for which we give heartfelt thanks. There followed Maisie's wonderful recitation of the Lord's Prayer (Padiyr y Dhirn) in Manx and Margaret Brady played all our favourite harvest hymns leading us so well that Bishop commended us for our singing.

    #IsleofManVEDay75 Isle of Man VE Day 1945 Extracts from the Manx Newspapers Discover more at https://www.imuseum.im/newspapers/ #IsleofManVEDay75 Announcing the News Isle of Man Times, Tuesday 8 May 1945 p.2 To-day is VE Day—it is the day on which Victory in Europe is ours. Thank God. Although it has been made known differently from the way provided by the Imperial Government, when it was to be announced by the Prime Minister to the world, it is nevertheless more than welcome. And what a victory!—complete and absolute, unconditional surrender. So to-day, celebrate—and then, back to work on Thursday, until our last foe, Japan, is crushed also. Mona’s Herald, Tuesday 8 May 1945 p.1 THIS IS THE DAY OF VICTORY IN EUROPE. This is "V" Day, the day which marks the end of the war in Europe; the day for which we have waited for five and a half bitter years. The most stupendous drama the world has ever witnessed moved to its climax with breath-taking swiftness, so speedily indeed that plans for the formal announcement of the final and complete overthrow of the Nazi monster were outstripped by the march of events. For days, as triumph resounded upon triumph, we waited with eagerness for the promised declaration by the Prime Minister - the supreme architect of Victory - that Germany's surrender was complete and unconditional. Confident were the predictions that Monday would prove to be VE-Day. True, the news for which the world had been waiting came then, but it came first of all from unofficial sources.

    NEWSLETTER Summer 2011 Editor – Douglas Barr-Hamilton Ella Slack wows packed Annual Lunch A completely new interior and yet another name (Double Tree) for what we still call the Bonnington did not deter London Manx members and friends from coming to hear our Guest of Honour, Ella Slack on 14th May. A larger than usual gathering enjoyed pâté, feill-chirkey rostit and crème brulée limon and I can take this opportunity on behalf of all our members to say a big thank you to Brian Stowell who valiantly translates our menu into Manx every year. After the national anthem, Douglas Barr-Hamilton spoke about the World Manx centenary celebrations during Tynwald week when he will represent the Society at the Homecomers’ reception and other events. He mentioned the changes he observes on his frequent trips to Ramsey: the demolition of Albert Road School, a new swimming pool and bowling ally and repairs to the pier. Having raised the toast to the Land of our Birth, Douglas was followed by retiring President, Stewart Christian who welcomed Ella who had come to tell us about her life and work at the BBC. Stewart extended a warm welcome to new members Voirrey and Robin Carr and other guests including Susan Johnson, Don and Brian, Mrs Teare and daughter Christine whose lovely voice greatly enhanced the singing in the absence of our usual pianist, Margaret Brady. Warm thanks were given to Rose Fowler for her inspired and tireless efforts as acting secretary for the Society for three years – where would we be without her enthusiasm and cheerful good humour? Thanks also went to Sam Weller, our indefatigable treasurer, Douglas for his wonderful job on the newsletter, Wendy and Sean for the website and to Preston our functions secretary, back in harness after a spell in hospital.
