In many ways this event is unique, involving an 85 mile race-walk around the 17 parishes of the island, within 24 hours. What started as a five year commitment for an outlay of a mere £500 has grown in stature and popularity, attracting walkers from all over the UK and abroad. In 1990 there were only 155 starters but in 2009 there will around 1,700 participants. All at Clerical Medical are delighted with this long and successful association and the company is fully committed to the community of the Isle of Man. PARISH WALK A Welcome from the Race Director Welcome to the 2009 Clerical Medical Parish Walk. The Parish Walk provides a unique challenge to all the entrants and it has captured the imagination of the Manx folk over the years. This year the race has attracted an all-time record entry of 1620. Ahead lies a test of stamina and endurance over 85 miles and 17 Parish Churches all which must be passed before returning to Douglas Promenade within the 24 hour time limit. Last year we had a new name on the trophy, Jock Waddington who won a thrilling race in a time of 15.44.43. This year he wears the number one vest. All the entrants who have previously finished the Parish Walk are seeded 1 to 181. The committee would like to extend its thanks to Clerical Medical who are sponsoring the event for the 20th time. Their unwavering support for the Parish Walk since 1990 has allowed the race to grow into the mass participation event that we now know. There are not many event sponsors as loyal as Clerical Medical and we hope that we continue the relationship with them well into the future. Our thanks are also extended to Manx Telecom who in conjunction with Sportident UK are sponsoring the electronic timing and results service. Manx Telecom are also providing a text service to nominated support crew members with race information. Colebournʼs are providing the technology for the information screens at the finish. The committee is grateful to Murray Lambden for maintaining our website www.parishwalk.com and to our feed station sponsors Barclays Private Bank, 3FM, Shoprite, MannVend, Robinsons, HSBC, Paragon, Hospice and Wooden Spoon. We are also grateful to the Department of Tourism & Leisure for their support and to the Civil Defence and the Police for their help. I would like to thank the organising committee of Liz Corran, Karen Kneale, Allan Callow, Kevin Walmsley, Martin Lambden, Winston Liu, Tracy Cook, Debbie Surgeon and Geoff Walmsley who have freely given of their time and efforts over the past six months. Finally a big thank you to all the marshals, checkers-in, ambulance crews, police specials and all the people who year after year turn out in the dead of night to help with the Parish Walk. To all competitors, please read and observe the rules carefully and obey the instructions of the marshals. Please note that there are certain time limits for passing some of the churches. Once you have completed your walk please ensure that your timing chip is handed in to the officials. Thank you and good walking. Raymond Cox - Race Director. Page 1 ADVICE FOR SUPPORT DRIVERS 1.

Do not make excessive noise in residential areas during the night. Page 2 Parish Walk History The Parish walk is now approaching its fiftieth year in the current format, and despite having seen many changes to minor aspects, it remains essentially the same event. Over the years numbers have increased dramatically both in entries and finishers, times have reduced, electronic timing and computers have replaced the old hand written records, and road and traffic planning have increased. One factor though is beyond our control, and 2008 proved that Mother Nature will always have the last word. A record entry was to face the harshest weather conditions recorded for a June day for many, many years, and it is a tribute to the hardiness of the competitors that anybody lasted the distance. Clerical Medical celebrates 20 years as the main sponsor of the event, a collaboration that has enabled the race to grow in stature and professionalism, and the introduction of Sportidentʼs timing system, sponsored by Manx Telecom, has alleviated the major headache of trying to process and input huge amounts of data accurately and quickly. The sheer physical demands of entering over a thousand race numbers and times for each of the early churches was becoming the stumbling block on which the race could have floundered. The earliest use of a computer was courtesy of the Buchan School, when results were phoned in and input on site, then Skanco Systems wrote a programme for use on the laptop they provided. This programme was updated by Dave Willis, and until 2006 was the results service, meaning long tiring hours for the results team, which occasionally led to mistakes. The list of multiple finishers is now becoming so long that I will only mention one, David Callister, who has now completed the event for 25 consecutive years. It has been suggested that he dare not break the sequence, as this yearʼs walk is next yearʼs training! Each year the committee tries to find ways of improving walker and traffic flow, and we would ask that if you are walking, or supporting the event, you follow the instructions and directions given to you. These are there for the benefit of everyone! We all rely on the goodwill of the general public, so please donʼt give them cause to complain. Good luck to all competitors, but remember that to claim to have “done the Parish” you have to reach that line on Douglas Promenade. A more detailed history of this great event can be found in Dermott OʼTooleʼs publication, “A Walk through Time”.

    Annual Report 2015/16 GD 2016/0049 Radio Manx Limited Financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 Radio Manx Limited Chairman’s statement I have followed the fortunes and output of Manx Radio for a number of years, having spent more than a decade building and managing television broadcast infrastructure overseas. Set against this background, coupled with more than 25 years of international business management experience, I was delighted to be asked to join the board of Manx Radio in 2015 and to assume the role of chairman in 2016. I would like to place on record my thanks and gratitude to my predecessor, Mr David North, who led the nation‟s public service broadcaster for a decade. The breadth and quality of Manx Radio‟s programme and digital output is impressive. A large part of this is achieved through the commitment and professionalism of a dedicated team, to whom I pass on my thanks. The role of national Public Service Broadcaster can be an onerous one in that the scope of the station‟s output is required to be extremely broad, calling for the full range of broadcasting skills and disciplines to achieve the balance that everyone rightly expects. Achievement of this balance is not easy as it is judged by an individual listener‟s subjectivity. It does, however, allow for healthy and informing debates and audience engagement. At all times, it is the nation‟s Public Service Broadcaster. Each year, we broadcast 5,772 news bulletins and publish over 5,500 Manx news stories on our website.

    GD 2020/0058 2020/21 1 Programme for Government October 2020 – July 2021 Introduction The Council of Ministers is pleased to bring its revised Programme for Government to Tynwald. The Programme for Government was agreed in Tynwald in January 2017, stating our strategic objectives for the term of our administration and the outcomes we hoped to achieve through it. As we enter the final year of this parliament, the world finds itself in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. This and other external factors, such as the prospect of a trade agreement between the UK and the EU, will undoubtedly continue to influence the work of Government in the coming months and years. What the Isle of Man has achieved over the past six months, in the face of COVID-19, has been truly remarkable, especially when compared to our nearest neighbours. The collective response of the people of our Island speaks volumes of the strength of our community and has served to remind us of the qualities that make our Island so special. At the beginning of the pandemic the Council of Ministers suspended the Programme for Government, and any work within it, to bring to bear the complete resources of the public service in the fight against coronavirus as we worked to keep our island and its people safe. Through the pandemic we have seen behaviour changes in society and in Government, and unprecedented times seem to have brought unprecedented ways of working. It is important for the future that we learn from the experiences of COVID and carry forward the positive elements of both what was achieved, and how Government worked together to achieve it.

  • Notes on Parliaments Visited

    Notes on Parliaments Visited

    3 Notes on parliaments visited Parliaments studied 3.1 This chapter provides a brief overview of the parliaments studied during the program in order to provide a context for the observations in Chapter 2. The notes are from the perspective of the committee’s interests and do not attempt to provide an overview of the parliaments themselves. There is obviously much more that could be said about each of the parliaments visited, but such comments would not reflect the experience provided by the study program. 3.2 As noted in paragraph 1.6 above, the committee was able to visit, observe and have discussions at the House of Commons and House of Lords in London, the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the Tynwald in Douglas, (Isle of Man), the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff and the French National Assembly in Paris. The notes on these assemblies reflect information provided during discussions as well as documents provided by our hosts. 3.3 Three main factors influenced the decision to visit the four parliaments in the United Kingdom and one in France: a desire to compare practices and procedures with other parliaments sharing Westminster origins (The House of Commons, House of Lords, Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales); an interest in learning how quite different parliamentary traditions address issues relevant to all legislatures, including scrutinising the Executive, use of parliamentary committees, communicating with the 34 STUDY PROGRAM 2006 public, procedures for conducting formal votes, how parliaments adapt themselves to societal changes (the Tynwald and the French National Assembly in addition to the parliaments in Britain); and time constraints imposed by the need to slot the visit into part of the Easter break (returning in time for the Budget sittings) and the sitting patterns of other parliaments.
