    Welcome to Tynwald Day The Midsummer sitting of Tynwald Court at St John’s is a ceremony with origins more than a thousand years old. Its central feature is the promulgation and captioning of new Acts of Tynwald, which is the final stage in the Manx legislative process. The ceremony is in three parts. It begins in the Royal Chapel with a service of worship at 11am. Then the Members of Tynwald and other participants move to Tynwald Hill where the Acts are promulgated and any petitions are brought forward. Finally, the Court returns to the Royal Chapel where the Acts are captioned.

    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.

    Thursday 10Th September HANSON X This Year I Was Elected the President of the World Manx Association

    vote LESLIE HANSON Thursday 10th September HANSON X www.lesliehanson.im This year I was elected the President of the World Manx Association. This photograph was taken at the presentation of the medals for the North American Manx Association to young achievers in many fields in the Isle of Man. In 2012, I became the secretary of a new committee of the Sailors’ Shelter in Peel. With the effort of the committee members and a number of helpers, it is now completely refurbished and a very important piece of Peel Heritage has been preserved. It was constructed in 1877 by the fisherman themselves in a period of 40 days and was a focal point for the fishing community in Peel for nearly a hundred years. My full name is Leslie Lucas Alfred Hanson. I was born in the Isle of Man and I was educated at St Thomas' School in Douglas, King William's College in Castletown and the University of Edinburgh Dental School, where I represented the dental faculty for three years on the Student Representative Council. I have one brother, Mark Hanson who is a consultant gynaecologist and resides in Kent. My late father was Eric Reginald Hanson who was the Headmaster of Albert Road School in Ramsey. My late mother was Betty Quirk Hanson, the first woman member of the Legislative Council, both of whom were from Peel. I have been living in Peel now for 30 years. I have been in dental practice in Peel and Onchan for 30 years. I will be holding political surgeries between 12pm and 1pm every Saturday from now until the Election at 18 Stanley Road, Peel.

  • An Assessment of the Current State of the Manx Gaelic Language

    An Assessment of the Current State of the Manx Gaelic Language

    A study of language death and revival with a particular focus on Manx Gaelic M.A. Dissertation 2009 Simon Ager Abstract This dissertation explores themes of language death and revival, with a particular focus on Manx Gaelic. The first chapter aims to define language death, discusses the scale of the phemenon, how and why it occurs, and why it is a matter of concern. It also compares a number of methods used to assess the vitality of languages. The second chapter looks at how languages such as Hebrew, Irish and Cornish have been revived or revitalised. It aims to discover common themes in language revivals and revitalisations, and discusses why some have been more successful than others. Chapter three provides a brief overview of the history of Manx and an account of its decline. Chapter four focuses on the revival of Manx and discusses such topics as Manx in education, families and literature, the official status of Manx and the organisations involved with Manx language and culture. Chapter five contains details of the methodology used to collect information for this dissertation, much of which, particularly details of the revival, current state and possible future of Manx, was collected during a visit to the Isle of Man in June 2009. Chapter six provides an assessment of the current state of Manx and examines use of the language in public, education, families and other domains. Chapter seven explores possible ways in which the Manx language may develop in the future. The final chapter summeries the topics discussed and compares the revival of Manx with other language revivals.
