    . i n f o r m a l i t y PRESS RELEASE Adrian Houston ‘The Spirit of Nature’ Exhibition Dates: 9th July until 5th August Henley-on-Thames’ River & Rowing Museum and the Informality gallery, in conjunction with the initiative Action Oak, are delighted to announce a new exhibition of works by renowned British photographer, Adrian Houston. Entitled The Spirit of Nature, the retrospective will be held at Informality and will focus on Adrian’s most recent landscape photography which saw him capture the ethereal beauty of Henley’s bluebell woods. A percentage of each sale will be donated to the River & Rowing Museum and Action Oak, which is seeking to develop a coordinat- ed plan to identify and tackle issues threatening our native oak trees. Houston has a long-standing passion for trees, as witnessed by his on-going project, A Portrait of a Tree which seeks to both raise awareness about the need to preserve and protect trees from disease and human impact and illustrate how trees connect us all on a universal level. Four years in the making, the initiative has seen Adrian shoot the favourite trees of a diverse array of people, among them Sir Richard Branson, actress Goldie Hawn, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and Kew Gardens Head of Arboretum Tony Kirkham. Not only is the magnificence and atmosphere of each specimen captured for posterity, the personal story that accompanies each tree makes the final result even more impactful. As Adrian reveals, his understanding of trees has been deepened still further through The Spirit of Nature.

  • Origins of the Cambridge Blue
    ORIGINS OF THE CAMBRIDGE BLUE Improved communications in the early years of the 19th century made possible sporting competitions between such as Oxford and Cambridge, which led in turn to the adoption of different colours, if only to allow the umpire to recognise them. The first sporting competition between the universities was on June 4th 1827 in a cricket match at Lord’s. Both teams wore white with no distinguishing colour. The second competition was the first Boat Race at Henley-on-Thames on 10th June 1829 when Oxford wore dark blue and white striped shirts. The colour was in honour of Christ Church, Head of the River at the time, who provided no fewer than five members of the crew. It is well documented that this race is the origin of the Oxford dark blue. Cambridge wore white shirts with hunting pink ties or sashes in honour of Snow, the Captain of Cambridge and of the Lady Margaret (St John’s College) Boat Club. For the second race in 1836, according to contemporary accounts (e.g. Bell’s Life), Cambridge wore white with no adornment. In 1837 and 1838 there were no intervarsity boat races but Cambridge raced against Leander Club and in both races they wore light blue and white striped shirts. For the third Boat Race in 1839 they adopted light blue, thereby establishing the accepted CUBC colour, and serially the Cambridge colour as each new sport has entered the intervarsity competitive programme. The story behind the adoption of light blue did not appear in print until 1881, almost half a century after the event.

  • Impact Case Study (Ref3b) Institution: Royal Holloway, University of London Unit of Assessment: D.31 Classics Title of Case Stud
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: Royal Holloway, University of London Unit of Assessment: D.31 Classics Title of case study: The Ancient Trireme 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) Since its launch in 1987, the Olympias trireme reconstruction has become the most frequently referenced representation of an ancient warship. Through its appearance in videos and television programmes, and illustrations in numerous popular encyclopedias, textbooks and academic works, it has raised awareness of ancient Mediterranean seafaring worldwide, as well as providing experimental data and acting as a paradigm of a project in experimental archaeology. It is also regularly used as a symbol of Greece’s maritime heritage and contribution to the development of democracy. It has served to popularise Greece’s maritime heritage and improve understanding of ancient shipping. Impact is in Cultural Life, primarily through preserving, conserving and presenting cultural heritage, developing stimuli to tourism and enhancing the experience of tourists, and secondarily in inspiring new forms of creative endeavour. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) The trireme Olympias was built by the Hellenic Navy and launched in 1987, and the Trireme Trust undertook a series of experimental sea trials on the ship between 1987 and 2004. Professor Boris Rankov was one of the directors of these trials, and has since 1996 served as Chairman of the Trireme Trust, overseeing its publications. The research underpinning the impact was conducted by Professor Rankov. That research began with sea-trials conducted between 1987 and 2004 with detailed analysis and smaller further sea trials being undertaken from 2004 until the publication of final results in Rankov (2012).
