September 19th 2015 FC took time to settle and an early Diamonds corner bamboozled the whole FC defence before going to safety. Tom Lorraine forced James Weatherill into a smart save soon afterwards with the only goal of the game arriving a couple of minutes’ later. Diamonds’ Brad Harris had his shot blocked in the box and Lorraine was the most alert man on the field as he hit the rebound past FC’s Weatherill. FC’s final chance fell to Brian Haule. As the powerful striker bore down on goal, an outstretched defender’s boot blocked his route and the chance went begging. FULL TIME 1-0 Diamonds January 23rd 2016 The Diamonds did though take the lead on 23 minutes,Andy Hall's shot from the edge of the box appeared at first glance to be tipped around the post by the FC Keeper but the immediate reaction of the away side soon indicated to everyone that the ball had in fact gone through a hole in the net. After some deliberation between the officials a goal was awarded. The away side who extended their lead on 35 minutes when Jon Stevenson picked the ball up on the edge of the box and fired past the right hand of Weatherill. Soon after the ball fell to Rudd 25 yards out after a clearance and he smashed it into the top corner to reduce the arrears. Diamonds restored their two goal lead on 51 minutes when James Dobson failed to clear the ball and it fell Shawn Richards 8 yards out and he fired home with his left foot. On 89 minute the Aylesbury pressure paid off, A Rushden defender was robbed off the ball just outside the box by Lynton Goss who crossed for Brian Haule to prod home. Diamonds nerves were settled though when into injury time a poor back pass by Jeanmal Prosper was intercepted by substitute Claudie Hoban who scored easily to restore the two goal advantage. FULL TIME 4-2 Diamonds THE MANAGER Andy Peaks had joined Mark Starmer’s management team in May 2012, bringing a wealth of UCL experience as well as his notable career history with Rushden & Diamonds FC where he was eighth in their all-time appearance list, having played 205 times for R&D FC between 1992 and 1997. He holds a UEFA B coaching license. He took over control of first-team affairs in a caretaker role following Mark Starmer’s resignation on 19th March 2014, and was installed on a permanent basis a month later. In his first full season at the helm he took the club to a League and Cup Double in the United Counties League. He has since led them to the end of season playoffs in the past two seasons. www.aylesburyfc.com 09 Who’s who WHO’S WHO Who are the men from Rushden to watch out for this afternoon? We take a look here. Paul Lamb Scott Carlin Paul joined the club in the summer of 2014 Scott joined the club in the summer of 2012, after performing a similar role at Cogenhoe after leaving his post as Assistant Manager United.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

A few months ago I was asked to join the committee as Publicity Officer to launch some activities for George's forthcoming 40th Anniversary. "No prob­ lem" I thought, "Just up my street." However the job of Publicity Officer didn't entitle me to having a vote at the committee meetings so all the planning in the world could soon go flat if you don't have a vote to back it up. Well now, having been elected as a committee member, I have a vote and intend making use of it. Thanks to all for your support and confidence. THERE'S ALWAYS A SNAG!!!! Regarding the forthcoming George Formby 40th Anniversary Year: We are experiencing difficulties with both the Wigan Pier Exhibition and the Guinness Book of Records. The Warrington Council, who promised to loan us material from the 1991 exhibition for the Wigan Pier show, is now backing out as one of the original photo lenders has made a complaint. However we are working on this. ANOTHER SNAG!!!! Guinness are asking us to record on video the event at the Winter Gardens when we will be setting up a world record of "The Biggest Banjo Uke Group In The World," and for this we need to obtain permission from Noel Gay Ltd (Leaning On A Lamp Post) EMI (It's In The Air) and Campbell Connelly (Biackpool Rock).
