Did you know? The 2015 Rugby World Cup was the eighth Rugby World Cup, the quadrennial rugby union world championship. The tournament was hosted by England from 18 September to 31 October. Of the 20 countries competing in the World Cup in 2011, there was only one change, Uruguay replaced Russia. This was the first World Cup with no new teams to the tournament. Reigning champions New Zealand won the cup and defended their title by defeating Australia in the final 34–17, South Africa defeated Argentina to take third place. New Zealand were the first team to retain their title and the first to win for a third time. The highly contested match between Japan and South Africa on the opening weekend, in which Japan scored the winning try in the final minute, was widely considered the biggest upset in the history of rugby. England were eliminated at the pool stage, after defeats by Wales and Australia; this was the first time any host nation had failed to progress to the knockout stage. 2 Warren House, Shearway Road, Folkestone, Kent CT19 4BF COMPBC5A Tel 01303 278137 Fax 01303 279429 Email [email protected] SERIES 5 CHECKLIST l Classic Children’s Television l 150th Anniversary Alice in Wonderland 7th January 2014 6th January 2015 ¨ BC501 Bagpuss, Canterbury Postmark ...................................... £35 ¨ BC516 The Red Queen, Oxford postmark ................................. £20 ¨ BC501A Ivor the Engine, Blean, Canterbury postmark .............. £25 ¨ BC516A The Mad Hatter, Oxford postmark ................................. £20 l British Working Horses l Happy Families 4th February 2014 20th January 2015 ¨ BC502 The British Horse Society & Born Free, ¨ BC517 Smilers, Motherwell postmark ......................................... £25 Clydesdale postmark ....................................................................... £30 ¨ BC517M Miniature sheet, Motherwell postmark .......................... £30 l Classic Locomotives of Wales l Post & Go Working Sail 20th February 2014 18th January 2015 ¨ BC503 Stamps, Swansea postmark ............................................ £20 ¨ BC518 Bureau stamps and labels, River Thames postmark .... £20 ¨ BC518B Machine stamps and labels, River Thames postmark . £25 ¨ BC503M Miniature sheet, Welshpool postmark ........................... £20 l Inventive Britain l Post & Go Spring Flowers 19th February 2014 19th February 2015 ¨ BC504 Bureau stamps and labels, Flora Daventry postmark .. £30 ¨ BC519 Stamps, Cambridge postmark ....................................... £25 ¨ BC504B Machine stamps and labels, Flora Daventry postmark .. £30 l Bridges l Remarkable Lives 5th March 2015 25th March 2014 ¨ BC520 Forth Rail Bridges, North Queensferry postmark ........... £30 ¨ BC505 Desert Island, Plomely Close Gillingham postmark ...... £30 ¨ BC520A Royal Border Bridges, Berwick upon Tweed postmark £20 ¨ BC505A Spitfire, Beaulieu postmark .............................................. £20 l Comedy Greats l Buckingham Palace 1st April 2015 14th April 2014 ¨ BC521 Stamps, Laughterton, Lincoln postmark ........................ £20 ¨ BC506 Stamps ............................................................................... £30 l 175th Anniversary of the Penny Post ¨ BC506M Miniature sheet, Buckingham Palace postmark .......... £20 6th May 2015 l Great British Films ¨ BC522A Stamps, Bath postmark ................................................... £20 13th May 2014 ¨ BC522M Miniature sheet, Bath postmark ..................................... £25 ¨ BC507 Stamps, Shepperton Middlesex postmark .................... £30 l Post & Go Heraldic Beasts ¨ BC507M Miniature sheet, The Night Mail, Shapfell Penryth Cumbria postmark ............................................................................ £20 13th May 2015 ¨ BC523 Bureau stamps and labels, Kew postmark .................... £20 l Sustainable Fish ¨ BC523B Machine stamps and labels, Kew postmark ................ £20 5th May 2014 ¨ BC508 Fisherman’s Beach, Hythe postmark ............................. £20 l Centenary of the Great War 14th May 2015 l Commonwealth Games ¨ BC524 Halt!

  • PROPS – WORTH THEIR WEIGHT in GOLD? by IAN MALIN, RUGBY JOURNALIST and NEWS EDITOR at the GUARDIAN This Article Was Written in May 2007
    PROPS – WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD? BY IAN MALIN, RUGBY JOURNALIST AND NEWS EDITOR AT THE GUARDIAN This article was written in May 2007. England Saxons recently named a squad for this spring’s Churchill Cup and the side’s coach, Jim Mallinder, had to dig pretty deep to unearth a group of forwards. With England’s frontline squad in South Africa already shorn of players from European Cup finalists Leicester, Wasps and Bath, some unfamiliar names were included in Mallinder’s squad. A potential Saxons front row could have been the London Irish veteran Neil Hatley, his club-mate David Paice and the Northampton prop John Brooks, who is moving this summer to Harlequins. All of them are capable players but, with the greatest respect to them, they would probably walk unrecognised down their own streets. And one was born in South Africa, another in Australia and another New Zealand. So, is there a national shortage of props? England suddenly have a plethora of exciting young fly-halves, one that would not have disgraced Wales’s once famous fly-half factory. Ryan Lamb, Shane Geraghty, Adrian Jarvis and Danny Cipriani will hopefully be vying for the England No10 shirt come 2011, but where are England’s young endomorphs? Perhaps a reality TV programme, call it Prop Idol, could unearth a few. Gloucester’s Jack Forster, who was also in the Saxons squad, and David Wilson, the promising young giant from Newcastle, are two of the fancied names to fly to New Zealand in four years time. But the most significant signing of the year in the Guinness Premiership is surely Carl Hayman, by far the best tight-head prop in the world, a wrecking-ball of a man who also, as England discovered at Twickenham last autumn, has a fair turn of speed too.

  • BAGPUSS TURNS 40! Submitted By: DDA Blueprint Tuesday, 11 February 2014
    BAGPUSS TURNS 40! Submitted by: DDA Blueprint Tuesday, 11 February 2014 40th anniversary of classic television character London, 12 February 2014. Much-loved iconic cat Bagpuss is celebrating his 40th birthday on 12 February, the anniversary when the show first broadcast on the BBC in 1974. Fans of that "old, saggy cloth cat, baggy, and a bit loose at the seams" will be able to join the celebrations throughout the year by watching HD, digitally re-mastered episodes of the original series at Picture House Cinemas throughout the UK. New HD DVDS, books and merchandise will also be launching in 2014 to commemorate the landmark anniversary. Created by children’s entertainment veterans Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, also responsible for cherished classics like Clangers and Ivor the Engine, Bagpuss is still fondly remembered by generations of Britons today. Coolabi, the company which represents the rights to the brand, has kept this cultural heritage alive, and the 40th year will see a range of Bagpuss themed product available to fans - including collectable Royal Mail stamps, pet accessories, clothing, and even garden seeds. Although just 13 episodes of Bagpuss were made, the shows ran for 26 weeks a year for 13 years, and the cuddly cat’s fan base continues to grow. Channel 5 recently voted Bagpuss the third greatest kids TV programme of all time, and best character show, in a nostalgic countdown of the 50 best British children’s TV series over the past 60 years. Michael Dee, Director of Content at Coolabi says: “Bagpuss has been one of the most beloved children’s characters for 40 years, and we are thrilled that he remains as popular as ever with fans of all ages.

  • George Alexander Louis
    Now in Our Welcome, 31st Year! George Alexander Vol. 31 No. 5 August 2013 Louis BRITAIN’S new prince has been named George Alexan- der Louis. Speculation over what moniker Prince William and his wife, Kate, would pick for their first child ended just two days after the baby’s birth. Kensington Palace said the royals were “delighted to announce” their son’s name, adding that the Two-day-old baby and third-in-line to the throne will be known as “His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.” Noble names are steeped in history, which explains why thousands of bets rolled in to British bookmakers for the name George, the name of six previous British kings. The moniker evokes the steadfastness of the queen’s father, George VI, who rallied the nation during World War II. Meaning farmer or earth worker, George was the 12th most popular name for boys born in England and Wales in 2011. St George, a fourth-century Chris- tian martyr, is the patron saint of England.
