Letter from the Chair Contents LETTER FROM THE CHAIR May I welcome you to your Summer Tidings as the 12th Chairman of the Society? A big thank you to everyone at the AGM who voted me into the chair and voted for the talented Alan Benns to be our 10th Vice Chairman. You can read more about Alan inside and our two newest group leaders: James Sinclair and Andy Weston. We have a busy time ahead with Teddington in Flower, The Village Fair and Pram Race and the River Festival. We hope most of you will take part either by attending the events or helping us run our stall. We have a new venture at the Park Hotel and that's Afternoon Cream Teas. Bring your friends along and try it out for the first time on June 3rd or come alone and make new friends. The council have taken it upon themselves to put free hanging baskets in each village to complement the Rugby World Cup. Baskets will be planted in World Cup colours - blue, pink and white. We will get 50 placed in the High Street, Broad Street, Victoria Road and Station Road from May-October. We will get 16 baskets in the winter. The Landmark Arts Centre is celebrating its 20th anniversary in November by installing 5 decorative panels telling the history of the building. The Society has donated £500 towards the £2,000 needed for the task. The vinyl panels put up by LBRuT to conceal the derelict Bottoms Up site in the Causeway have been removed as the site is being refurbished at long last. Thanks to Bhavna Patel for helping us find a home for them with Corporate Member Faststream Distributors. Oh and don't let's forget the Phantom Framers! BBC Online contacted me for a quote and several gold framed signs were shown on ITV News! Personally I rather like the gold rimmed "To Bushy Park" sign in my road. Gold framed or not, enjoy your Summer Tidings and if you'd like to participate in Society activities please get in touch.

This will allow the river between Richmond Lock and Teddington Lock to drain down at low water on each tide.” In simple terms, low tide is very low! This will continue until 18th November. For river users it is a time to take extra care, while for others it is a chance to don wellies and dabble in a bit of mudlarking.

  • Andrew Loog Oldham by Rob Bowman As the Rolling Stones’ Manager and Producer, He Played a Seminal Role in the Creation of Modern Rock & Roll
    Andrew Loog Oldham By Rob Bowman As the Rolling Stones’ manager and producer, he played a seminal role in the creation of modern rock & roll. IN 1965, TOM WOLFE FAMOUSLY DUBBED PHIL SPECTOR America’s first tycoon of teen. Great Britain in the 1960s had its own version with Andrew Loog Oldham. Similarly eccentric, Oldham sported a one-of-a-kind mix of flamboyance, fashion, attitude, chutz­ pah, vision, and business smarts. As comanager of the Rolling Stones from May 1963 to September 1967, and founder and co-owner of Im­ mediate Records from 1965 to 1970, he helped shape the future of rock, and certainly turned the music industry in the United Kingdom on its head. Along the way, between the ages of 19 and 23, he pro­ duced some of the greatest records in rock & roll history, leading Bill­ board to describe him as one of the top five producers in the world, and Cashbox to declare him a musical giant. ^ He was born in Lon­ don on January 29, 1944, during the Germans’ nightly bombard­ ment of England. His father, whom he never met, was Texas airman Andrew Loog, killed in June 1943 when his B-17 bomber was shot down over France. Raised by his mother, Celia Oldham, the preco­ cious teenager began working for Mary Quant during the day, at Ronnie Scott’s jazz club in the evening, and at the fabled Flamingo club after midnight. He also found time to form a (short-lived) pub­ lic relations firm with Pete Meaden, the future manager of the Who.

  • Letter from the Chair
    LETTER FROM THE CHAIR From Halloween to Christmas and New Year this is a very busy time for all of us. Remembrance Sunday was well attended and a wreath was laid by Geoff Howland on behalf of the Society at the War Memorial. He cleaned up our Poppy Memorial in Elmfield Gardens which provides a focal point of remembrance in the High Street and is particularly apt as this year is the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele. Did you notice all the huge red poppies on lamp posts throughout the town put up by Shane Thompson of Holmes & Daughters and the Royal British Legion? Next year Shane means to turn the whole town red! Some of us have changed our roles in the Society. Judy Asher is now maintaining the website and has handed Minuting over to Nick Picton. Photo journalist Peter Denton has joined us as Vice Chairman. Most importantly as you will read overleaf we are saying goodbye and thanks for all the good tidings to Donald Bell who has raised the standard of our quarterly magazine hugely and will be extremely hard to replace. If you would like to step into his shoes please get in touch with me. Teddington800 comes to a close but leaves behind wonderful memories, lots of new friends made and new members for the Society. Huge congratulations to Anne McTear and the Organising Committee. We'll give a round up of their events and successes next time. Meanwhile our History Banners will go on show next year. A tour de force by Paddy Ching with input from Ken Howe, John Sheaf, Pieter Morpurgo and me they've been much admired at the NPL, the Landmark and the Library.
